I have a dream:

I have a dream of my own that one day I will have the vision that Kenneth Iverson had. He started up his successful mini-mill structure that Nucor Steel has become today. Kenneth Iverson was a leader and with his vision of integration lead many employees to wealth well beyond their wildest dreams. He built steel mills in out of the way locations near towns and cities that were oppressed by unemployment, poor farmers and uneducated people.

He took that chance by instilling into his employees that by being open minded and the willingness to change that anyone could become wealthy beyond their wildest thoughts. He gave many the opportunity to better themselves. Through hard work Iverson integrated incentives to keep his employees moving forward all the time. The employee that worked the floor had his undying devotion and he was dedicated to them and cheered for their success when progress continued forward. His excitement became our excitement as production tons per hour increased to record levels.

Soon after his bonus incentive took root. He added another incentive. The stock option where every employee could buy stock and Nucor would match the difference.Many employees that worked in the one small mill in Darlington, S.C., became rich in their investments. Each quarter the dividends increased. Stocks split on the average every six months in those start up years. Nucor stock was at a steady gain and many made their fortunes this way.

From this one tiny steel mill.He built an integrated system of a small group of workers that out produced and out worked any other steel mill in this country and many abroad. He kept Nucor on a forward movement and invested in other same type steel mills in Jewet, Texas, Nebraska. All through the eighties, Nucor grew and prospered.

Kenneth Iverson ran the corporate office in Charlotte, N.C. with just three staff members. He watched market trends and kept up with each mills numbers himself. He always thought of his employees before himself. When the employee hurt, Iverson hurt also. Then he saw a need during the Reagan years to get his employees another incentive. That being a 401-k plan that started out with NewYork  Insurance company. The plan started off a new market where the employee could now invest in their own future and Nucor matched much of the employee's contribution. He then started using the Darlington, S.C. mill as a test facility for thin slab casting. He put a special person in charge of the project named Mark Millet of English origin as the project manager.

Iverson had sown the seeds of integrity to a simple metallurgist to build a unique conception test model that would energize Nucor's strength and influence into the future. Iverson kept the ball rolling and moving forward. He never let the mills stagnate or become boring to work in. Ideas were coming in from all directions from employees on how to make things more proficient to make money and quality. The puzzles of complex ways to make and produce steel in wider ranges came and went.

I now have seen the inner most workings of the man that came off the floor at Vulcraft to become CEO of a fortune 500 company. Even though many of us had a hard time understanding the vision. Ken gave us the incentive that we as employees could build and grow wealth beyond our dreams. Even if we wanted to branch off and become business entrepreneurs ourselves. Many Managers broke off and started businesses of their on to feed off the growing success of Nucor. Some even started their own steel mills like Mark Millet and Keith Bussey at Steel Dynamics in Indiana. Though they are different companies they all were instilled with the vision of one man. That man was Kenneth Iverson. A mentor to some and a leader to others that never felt like they were being lead. We as employees were taught that each of us was our own boss. That when every thing went down on the line. It was up to us to trouble shoot and work out the bugs to get it back on track. The vision of a floor worker that only wanted to help others obtain their dreams while he followed his own. A true giver. He is still missed by many including me.

Benjiman Kennedy: Reasons For Nucor Stock Unrest:

Benjiman Kennedy: Reasons For Nucor Stock Unrest:

Reasons For Nucor Stock Unrest:

 Nucor has just released their quarterly statements for the second !/4, of 2010. The world market place has seen it's share of up and down stocks over the course of the bad economies two year existence. Though Nucor stock has only gone up and down a couple of points each week, there is still room for concern about their stock prices not increasing.

 The influx of people retiring and other key co-presidents that are over certain divisions in the Nucor head quarters have spread themselves thin in the think tank of the Nucor integrated system. Where the main head office use to be run by three people now has exploded to eight co-presidents and one CEO. The reason behind the incorporation of so many co-presidents was to build a crisis management team that could handle the problems of each divisions expertise. Bar, plate, beam, and building systems were given the responsibility to over see broken up task through plant presidents. The system is a good one, but break downs in communication do happen more frequently.

Each plant that Nucor owns is in competition with the other. A single division is run like it is the plant presidents. This is to give insight that one day the plant president will earn his keep and move up the corporate ladder to take his place among the elite think tank presidents in the corporate office in Charlotte, N.C.

Each division is expected to make money. No questions asked. Vying for market place position is hard enough in world markets, yet Nucor competes with it's self here in the states. Competition is a good thing. It keeps the divisions on their toes and keeps them sharp. The main reason that the stock market for Nucor is not stable is they have gone into maintain mode type of business now that the economy has slowed.

Stock that is owned by every employee has to be bought back in the stock market to keep other interest abroad from trying a hostile take over of  Nucor stock. The corporation draws back into it's maintain shell and buys up enormous amounts of stock at the cheapest rate they can. Bad economies are money making ventures for CEO's and vice presidents because they buy this cheap stock and have the backing of the corporate structure to buy in large amounts of block stocks. Block stocks have to be bought in bulk. Like 28 to 500 shares at a time. Where many of the employees that work the jobs can only buy stock through a company named broker and in small amounts. It is all about the knowing when to buy and sell. Buy low sell high.

The reason that the stock has fluctuated so much over a two year span is because, Nucor is buying back their stock in hopes of stimulating a bull market. If a bull market happens, then the company comes out smelling like a rose. Either way their assets stay within the company. meanwhile the company employee suffers because of the lack of work. Cut hours, pay cuts and in some cases straight time pay when the mills are not running production. The slow money making process hurts the employee, because now he is struggling to make ends meet. The employee in not knowing, has over extended themselves and one by one they lose their homes and lively hoods due to government bailouts and restructuring and big companies trying to save their businesses by protecting their assets.

The trickling affect of money through the system hampers the growth in many areas. Employment decreases, businesses slow to a crawl and the first to take the biggest hit is the employee. The most taxed, over burden, politically lead individuals that drive the economy take the hit and the sacrifices because of the lack of thinking or not having the open mindedness to take into consideration that the employee is smarter than the managers that lead them into the abyss. So there is a inside look at why great companies falter during times of crisis.

The workings of insight:

Have you ever wondered why some people are so smart? Why most have more in-sight than others? Maybe it is because of their perception on how the world works in a positive manner.When we cast out all negative ideas on our train of thought and add the positive attributes to an idea, we are just as smart as the next person. A positive idea is as special as a seed that grows in the ground.The idea lays dormant until the rain activates the seed to grow. Where did this seed come from you ask? The idea was known before you thought of it

 God in his infinite wisdom created the heavens and the earth with just a thought. The conception of our mind's thoughts to action have long been transpired to help man along. The same principle is applies to our inner most thoughts. Like the Bible says, "Whatever you sow, so shall you reap." Whether it be a positive or negative thought, you will reap the actions there after. Positive thoughts create rewards and negative thoughts create problems. The thought process can be a powerful Earth moving experience and affect the lives of many others.

 With so many negative things happening in the world around us every day. It is no wonder that so many people get confused or lack in-sight  to how they can really change their day. By simply saying something positive to a person you work with or meet on the street. You have planted a positive seed into that person or persons mind. Things start to happen and people are energized to the effects it has on them. Positive thinking sows the seeds of being anything successful in life.

 God gave us the ability to think right or wrong. It is only when we remove all the negative thinking in our lives that other things take a positive turn for the better. This is not a one time thing. Positive thinking requires an every day diligence of thinking the right way. It is called the ten second rule in which we base all our decision making and thinking. Having a positive approach to problems we face every day will make the negative things go away. Apply these principles to your every day life and change with them for more positive results and you will see things more clearer in your life.

Business sense:

Everyone that works a stress related job that requires fast actions, knows that their ideas must come from their experience. Experience is a trait that is built over time. Just like the involvement of a religion. A job requires a lot of devotion to the employer. If you are a owner of a single business or run your business out of your home. You know what business sense I am talking about.

 Running your own business is like gambling at any casino. You play the game making gains and losses along the way. Then you take the chance of making your business boom and you go all in. The success of this will come from your ability to see the complete picture. The picture being a question you ask every day of yourself. "What is special about me?"

 Traits such as these do not just come to you in your sleep, but they stare you in the face every waking moment. Think long and you will think wrong. Many people think that hasty decision making opens doors to failure. I say it is how positive you are at that moment in time. Positive thinkers are successful people. They surround themselves with others that are positive thinkers as well. One negative thinking person can upset the entire process of a positive group think tank.

 Blaming stock holders of inside trading may be difficult to stop and often causes conflict of interest in many business around the world. The first person to get that first hand information may not have acted legally, but in a positive way to boost their company. It is called controlling the playing field of business. Companies have been made and broken over the years by this way of thinking. Positive people act on different means of information. They see trends in markets and read the gambling aspects of going all in at a time that many others are dwindling. While others are not willing to take the risk. The positive thinker goes for it and succeeds. Why is this you ask?

 Positive thinkers have trained their minds to only see the true value of what make businesses boom. They connect with the consumer on their needs. They put the demand and supply at the consumers finger tips with out worrying about marketing trends or stock holder opinions on making a profit. The needs of the many far out weigh the needs of the few in the business world. Only the strongest positive thinkers survive. That can do spirit that not only makes fortunes, but makes a business successful in every way.

 The business sense in all of us that allows us to buy and sell. To bargain and trade, has to begin on a positive platform to succeed. The simplicity of a positive thinker can be seen in the longevity of a successful companies history and work ethic. Behind the scenes gambling to a customers wants and needs are what drive them. Positive thinkers make positive things happen, and when this happens all doors of opportunity open for others.
