Reader Daniel asks the doomsday question:<\/p>\n
Do you have an escape plan for leaving the country if it gets too bad here?<\/strong><\/p>\n
If so, where would you go?<\/strong><\/p>\n
My online business is blowing up and I\u2019m probably going to be making $400k-$500k this year ( made 303k in 2018). I\u2019m thinking of using that money to get out while the getting is good.<\/strong><\/p>\n
But I\u2019m wondering if perhaps I\u2019m too paranoid. Or ungrateful.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Would love your perspective on this.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Maybe could even be an email!<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
My thoughts on this are:<\/p>\n
1. I have no plan to escape the US<\/p>\n
2. But I do believe the US is likely to break up into multiple countries, probably in the next 15 years, and certainly when the politicians inevitably get rid of the electoral college<\/p>\n
3. I suspect my state will go even more insanely leftwing than it is now, but there is a small chance the part I am in will \u201cbreak off\u201d into something of its own and much more along the lines of where I\u2019d want to be<\/p>\n
4. I do not know exactly how this will look overall, but I have my suspicions I\u2019ll keep to myself for now<\/p>\n
5. Whatever happens, wherever you go, you cannot go wrong learning, honing, and mastering your ability to produce<\/p>\n
6. For me, that ability to produce is not gardening, fishing, gathering, etc (all of which I suck at) it is selling<\/p>\n
7. Thus, I am more focused than ever on that<\/p>\n
8. The way I see it, wherever I end up, here, there, or anywhere\u2026 there will always be a need for people who can build businesses, sell products & services, and persuade & influence in other ways<\/p>\n
So that\u2019s my 8-part answer.<\/p>\n
But since the lights are still on, the indoor plumbing still works, and the politicians in my state haven\u2019t yet reduced my standard of living to 3rd world status (give them time\u2026) with their inane so-called \u201cwoke\u201d policies and legislation and the horrifying unintended consequences of such, let\u2019s get on to the business:<\/p>\n
The September \u201cEmail Players\u201d issue goes to the printer next week.<\/p>\n
The skill it teaches can be used anywhere in the world that still allows commerce to build a brand, a business, a list, and an audience of people who look forward to hearing from you, buying from you, and associating with you.<\/p>\n
It also can help repel those you don\u2019t want to deal with.<\/p>\n
Very powerful info, in my biased opinion.<\/p>\n
And, it\u2019s all wrapped up nicely in a tidy 17 pages of content.<\/p>\n
