Then something imperceptable happened. The
industrial revolution began to fizzle out. Its not clear whether it
was workers who revolted in droves and began to demand a better
life. Or was it the companies that drove them to it in their never
ending quest for share holder profits. If I was to guess, based on
my observation I would say its likely the former.
In fact, I think our grandparents and their grand
parents were taken for a ride. There was never really a forged
contract. What really happened was that the company discarded the
tired old beat worker, and they were left to fend for themselves or
for their immediate family to see them in to there final resting
place.
Sad stuff. Thats life they say. Well, something
is happening around you right now. Something strange. One could say
the industrial revolution gasped its final breath in the 70's early
80's when the advent of the personal computer leveled the playing
field on all fronts.
Something rapid and fast is passing us by. If the
industrial revolution spanned 250 years, the new paradigm shift is
changing at a rate of every decade. The late nineties were a blurr
for me. I made money, hand over fist.
If the industrial revolution was about personal
enslavement to a corporate Father. This existing paradigm shift we
are witnessing is about rebelious freedom against the father.
Here's the thing. Money is spare and lying around
on the streets. Look at the phenomenon of deregulation. A world wide
trend that see's no end in the immediate future. Everything is
becoming deregulated. The walls are coming down around us
everywhere. Protected and conserved sources of revenue that were
once the domain of "the in crowd" is now available to anybody who
thinks they can do the job quicker and smarter then the next guy.
Wealth permeates our lives like oxygen today. It
is astounding that there are men and women out there that cling to a
regular job. With such low risk high yield opportunities present
where ever one looks.
Value, spare value has been deregulated. What is
value if not the embrionic form of money. Percieve spare value and
you are looking at money. All you have to do is convert that spare
value into cash.
This paradigm shift is being played out in Real
Estate, Cars, Boats, Planes, Used Power Plants, Apartment Blocks,
Copper Wire, Commodities.
It makes little difference, for every bit of
spare value you can uncover or create from thin air, there are a
dozen buyers with cash begging for you to sell to them. You just
have to see it.
In the early years of last century, there was a
prolonged golden age. From the turn of the century to the late 20's
when the depression finally hit.
Oh, its coming. The big hang over to this party
is coming and its the poor that will pick up the check. But as far
as I can see it is no where in sight. This isnt a small cycle, this
is a huge Tzunami of wealth and opportunity poured across our paths
simply because we are lucky enough to be around in this time frame.
I haven't got a crystal ball. But I look at the
indicators and the way the worlds powers are behaving and nothing
could be clearer. This party is here to stay. Its going to be a long
and drawn out money bath. China is looming large, about to make her
waves in the fiscal oceans of the worlds economy. She is a titan as
an economic power for one of the same reasons The US of A is. The
reason is sheer numbers. The demand is going to be incredible from
that part of the world as the peasants and farmers rapidly
assimilate and begin living like westerners requiring all the
conveniences we are now used to. Third world countries around the
world are lining up to take that same path.
When we say let the good times roll, I mean it
literally. This thing is not going to end for another 20 maybe 30
years.
We have had recessions and small dips and rises.
But this is different. They were talking about a paradigm shift in
the mid nineties, but they didn't count on being right. How to get
rich fast is to leap on this opportunity with both hands.
You have plenty of time as far as I can see, but
why wait.
