My dear readers – 8
Day number 1 and the race has begun!
Actually, it’s eerily quiet outside this morning.
My world is shrouded in that light fluffy stuff called Lake Affect snow – a phenomenon unique to the Great Lakes.
It insulates me from the reality that exists “out there.”
Not to be the harbinger of doom and gloom, but I felt compelled to share with you some stories that met me as I sipped my morning coffee.
“Jobless numbers suggest a bleak 2009,”
“Rochester stocks suffer big decline,”
“Well-known brands took hit in 2008,”
“Chemical giant is considering Chapter 11.”
Stymied?
You bet.
Scared?
Some.
Disgusted?
Amen.
But, let my cup runneth over and soak you with optimism.
Things, they are a changing.
It didn’t take a fortnight to get here, and it will take more than a fortnight to get out of here.
However, do consider:
- Digital communication vehicles including blogs, websites, forums, listservs, and so on have leveled the playing field and morphed us from a people governed to a governing people.
- News and information travels at the speed of light resulting in our instant and necessary awareness
- More information is transmitted than ever before giving us access to a depth from which we were previously shielded
- For the first time in many moons, we took back our power as a people with the election of Barack Obama
I’m sure you see my point, which is, now that we the people have our power back, we need to take the information available to us, use the communication vehicles at our hands, and reverse this downward spiraling economy by wrestling it away from those who about did us in.
By the way, as a preview to a complete overhaul of the current tax system, I invite you to download my report “Done with Cash” for free.
