The economy sucks and doesn't suck at the same time. Companies are hiring and not hiring at the same time. From what I can see, the Future Economy is going to be run by Blacksmiths, Monks, and Jesters. Imagine a world without salaries. Everyone is on equal footing with what they need to do to make money. This means you need to think about what you can offer that people will pay for. Blacksmiths make the tools. Monks teach people how to use them. In this world, people are constantly looking to learn because they have problems that they need to solve. If those problems don't get solved then they don't get to move on with their life. Everything seems to end with that problem. The problem that you see, especially here on LinkedIn, is that most people want to be Carnival Barkers. "Step right up and come see this amazing thing!" Is there money in that? Yeah. Is there money long-term in it? Probably not. And that's a good thing because it means you have the opportunity to stand out. The only way to be a better Barker is to bark louder. The Blacksmith and Monk work out in the open. The Blacksmith builds where people can see and Monk teaches where people will listen. The Jester entertains. But the Jester understands their crowd. They understand what they want and they can read the room. The Jester is constantly looking for new ways to entertain and more importantly, they understand the value of repeat customers. But do you really want to know what's fascinating about this whole thing? You can be a Blacksmith, Monk, and Jester all at once if you want to. A progressive fantasy author who writes books (Jester), sells Obsidian templates to help with world-building (Blacksmith), and shows people how to build worlds people can get lost in (Monk). You might notice something. I never said you needed to be a salesman or a marketer. Each of these roles (Blacksmith, Monk, and Jester) can market while doing what they love. The Carnival Barker can only focus on selling. They have to manipulate and convince people of things that do not exist. I don't want you to feel like you need to be a Carnival Barker. Because you don't have to be. Just get better at being a Blacksmith, Monk, or Jester.

I help young companies punch above their weight | Data-driven thought leader | Chief economist | Head of strategy | Early-stage investor | Founder | Messy dataset enthusiast | Soccer guy
Recently Joseph Politano shone a light on a very important trend in the economy: an increase in the formation of new businesses. This trend, which began early in the pandemic, looks pretty durable so far. And it may finally reverse some of the decades of corporate consolidation that reduced workers’ bargaining power and kept their wages in check. On the flip side, people who left corporations to start their own businesses may find less job security and a higher likelihood of a household financial crisis. Hopefully the increases in wealth that occurred during the pandemic will mitigate these risks. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eCnb9yMD

While the economy has had a 30% decrease, this year we’ve been growing! at 39%... In the 21 years I've been a life coach, I've seen the same people, My friends, acquaintances, from all walks of life... who I absolutely adore and wish so much they would work with me, just 1 hour a month, ... ? some have full time jobs, and side gigs as well... some have their MLM companies, and over and over. 😭... MLMs are not for me, there not bad, just not good long term... I never reach out to them because if they wanted to work with me they would tell me. They want the hype and I don't have it. They want the "founder" positions or the leader with the viral IG or Facebook accounts to mentor them and I am over here just living my life. Some are leaving companies they’ve been with for years, some hop companys every 6-18 months. And I, 110% understand why... they are full of promises and under performance... There is a teeny tiny percent actually making money. Based on public data it's a handful of people out of MILLIONS. 11-21% at best... None of it matters... long term... only something you control, you own, it's simple.. if it is truely worth it, why isn't it free, no investment, no upfront cost, no buy in... a win win for me and mine. While the economy has had a 30% decrease this year we’ve been growing! at 39%... I wanted stability and freedom. 🇺🇸 Debt free & privately owned. Everyone I show this to is better off than when I found them. No one gets hurt here. our products and services all have a 90 day money back guarantee. You cannot beat a 97% reorder rate of incredible everyday consumable goods. 🛒🇺🇸 We don't have a flashy overnight weight loss product. We don't have "get in now so you can get a big downline placed" hype thing. We don't sell. We don't need to be famous on the internet. We don't need anything but a reason to join a noble cause and then enjoy the benefits of that which blesses the socks off of our families, and our friends... Entrepreneurs who can understand data and economics and know hard work ALWAYS do incredibly well here. #AskForReceipts It's why we have a lot of brick and mortar people and nurses on our team. #TheBreakFreeProject What's cool about this season is I don't need many people to get it. Just maybe one or two. (You would choke on your coffee if you saw how few people I needed while everyone is trying to recruit hundreds) If you like what we're doing, you know where to find me. I can't help people that need to be dragged along and convinced. If people aren't bold enough to say "I'm curious" then I don't want to work with them. Loyalty to poverty is a mindset I am not interested in fixing. it takes me 5 minutes, 15 if you want to know more, and 45 minutes to show you results... I am looking for people like me, you, my mom, ... Nothing matters more than saving my family and helping the people I love break free. Pursuit to find that person starts today. 🔥❤️ InterceptOne.com

The Economy Doesn’t Have To Change… Adapted from one of Jim Rohn’s talks. Why this quote particularly resonates with me is because when I first heard it we were probably a year into lockdown. The economy was rocked and uncertain at this point and when I heard this quote I thought I’ve got to make sure my learning and growth doesn’t stop into this period. At least whilst everyone else is figuring it out. There were many things I didn’t know about business/investing and decided to start learning while on this economic break. We get paid for the value we bring to the marketplace! So is it possible to become twice as valuable and twice as much money? Yes it is Could you become three times more valuable than you are right now and make three times as much money in the same time? The answer is: of course You can go on and on and on… The takeaway here is: There’s a ladder to whatever we want to become. At first working minimum wage we aren’t seen as valuable to the marketplace because if we did we’d get paid the same as a marketing director or a CEO. But to get to that level at every stage of our career we have to become more valuable and specialised in our knowledge. So… The economy doesn’t have to change for you to increase your value to the market place. 💋🤘🏽 #growth #thejourney #dailyaffirmation #personaldevelopment

You've probably heard the old saying that "every cloud has a silver lining." Some people even try to apply this idea to the economy, suggesting that destructive events can actually be a good thing because they create jobs and stimulate spending. For example, imagine a vandal breaks a shopkeeper's window. Someone might try to argue this is positive, because it creates work for the glazier who will repair it. But as French economist Frederic Bastiat brilliantly pointed out in his famous "broken window fallacy", this view is shortsighted. Bastiat asks us to look deeper and consider what that broken window really means. Sure, it generates $250 worth of work for the glazier. But this ignores what is unseen - the fact that the shopkeeper now has $250 less to spend on something else, like a new suit. So the tailor loses out on the work he would have gotten. As a society, we are no better off than before the window was broken. The destruction did not stimulate the economy overall - it just shifted money from one person (the shopkeeper) and industry (the tailor) to another (the glazier). But it created no net benefit. The economy is often stimulated by producing new goods and services that add real value for people and we must look beyond the superficial effects and consider the unseen costs as well. To learn more about Frederic Bastiat's economic wisdom, check out the book "The Economics of Freedom: What Your Professors Won't Tell You", which contains a chapter on his famous "broken window fallacy" and other insightful essays.
