AXIOM-n. A self-evident or universally recognized truth. At Lost Trades uncommon sense is defined as the ability to connect truth with action. What looks good on paper is classically known fall apart in the field. Therefore, putting the cart before the horse is a necessity for starting large projects and carrying out ambitious dreams. With too many guidelines, blueprints and limitations conventional techniques cannot be improved. Often techniques must be developed in place at the point in a project when it would otherwise hit an impasse between written plan and tangible progress. Belief systems must be challenged, work ethics must be pushed and the framework of human potential can then achieve super-human goals. The building blocks of Lost Trades contained in our summary are the Axioms. These are simple, intuitive ideals that promote creativity, while allowing the team members to uphold the overall direction of the Lost Trades Initiative.      INITIATIVE.htmlshapeimage_48_link_0
