10 Reasons Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Get Wealthy
Continuation from Friday…...Getting rich is not easy. Yet, the time to get rich has never been more perfect.
When I was growing up in the Soviet Union it was nearly impossible to get rich. Not by any Western standards and not by a long shot. It didn’t matter if you were highly educated or not, you were making the same amount of money as the person next to you. By law. For instance, my mother who was a Principal at a large music school and a drunken construction worker were making the same amount of money. Around 150 Rubles per month. At that time and as a society, all opportunities were taken away from us. None of us had a future.
Today, for those of us who live in the Western world, the situation is quite different. We are lucky enough to have the freedom to do anything and/or to be anyone. Outside of our own imagination, there are literally no limits to what we can become. Still, for most of us, getting rich is nothing more than a pipe dream.
It shouldn’t be. Here are the 10 reasons as to why now is the perfect time to get wealthy.
Reason #1: No Barriers
Throughout much of the human history people were mostly kept in their socioeconomic class. Only a few lucky souls were able to do the impossible and get rich. Most often it was the adventurer or the explorer, the religions leader or the warrior who were able to break the mold or get lucky enough to escape their original status. The rest of the people were born, lived and died in their so called “born into” economic class.
That started to change about 300 years ago with the advent of the industrial revolution and the proliferation of new countries and ideals. Most notably, in the USA and the U.K. As the time went on Western society has been successful in gradually removing ALL barriers associated with getting rich. In other words, if it is your sincere wish to get filthy stinking rich today, there is absolutely nothing that stands in your way.
To make things ever better, money tends to be blind. It doesn’t see your color, race or religion, it doesn’t care what country or what neighborhood you come from, it doesn’t care if you are a male or a female or what your sexual preferences are. The money doesn’t care who your parents are or what your education level is. If you are willing to work incredibly hard in order to become wealthy, none of the external factors above can stop you from making it a reality.
Reason #2: The Cost Of Starting A Business Today Can Be As Low As ZERO
While some businesses require a substantial capital outlay, you can start others for nothing at all. For example, the cost of starting an Internet business today could be a big fat ZERO. I do advocate spending a little bit more if you decide to go that route, about $60-100 to be exact, but the reality remains. Some of the fastest growing and the most profitable businesses today could be started from your kitchen table and with zero capital investment. Hundreds of Billionaires and tens of thousands of millionaires have done just that in the past 100 years. Now it’s your turn.
