This email could possibly help save you from horrifying pain, sickness, or even death

A while back, I studied a Dan Kennedy training about creative thinking. And, while it’s full of all kinds of ways to stimulate creative problem-solving, the most valuable part of the entire course has literally nothing to do with creativity or being more creative or marketing or selling or any of the usual suspects. No, it was a part where he was talking about the healthcare system. Specifically, in the US, where he predicted: “…there will be some version of nationalized health that probably looks something like the Canadian system that everybody gets...And it’ll be like getting your heart surgery done at the post office or the DMV and obviously people like you and I will want nothing to do with it.” He then followed up with this kicker: “It’s another very good argument for making sure you get rich, because failing to do so probably destines you to having the postal worker taking off your bunions after you’ve waited three months for an appointment. I mean that’s where were headed.” This was recorded many years ago. But, I suspect he’s right. The liberals’re already getting their way. And as it unfolds — and as so-called un-jabbed people might even start to be denied entry to hospitals at all if some people get their way — an entire niche industry (and opportunity) will pop up for doctors, surgeons, hospitals, and other healthcare providers that will be priced to the hilt, with far better bedside care & services, with far less deaths or botched procedures, and financially well out of reach of anyone but those who make — at the bare minimum — upper 6-figures per year, if not 7-figures per year. And these rich patients'll get the same kind of treatment our politicians get. Now, there are two types of people reading this: 1. People who see Mr. Kennedy's prediction is coming true in real time 2. People who disagree him, and that'll never happen My ex-spurt opinion? I think it could eventually get horrifying on all kinds of levels, in all kinds of ways. Especially for small, independent business owners. The point of all this: While there isn’t a whole lot of control any one of us has over the political, ideological, and other ever-shifting world-wide forces raging on a national and international scale, one thing we can control is working at growing as secure and profitable a business as possible. And, as bad as I suspect it’ll be for businesses who can’t afford to line the right pockets... I still believe commerce will be around, and that learning how to sell, market, grow a business, and create as much financial security as you can — before any more big, sweeping changes happen — is vital if you want to have as smooth a landing as possible during the coming turbulence. At the very least, make your money now, before the inevitable tax hikes happen. However, let’s face it: Very few people have any sense of urgency, much less emergency. Even now, as their rights are systematically dismantled one-by-one. And this of course includes people jonesing for socialism & decrying capitalism on their $800 iPhones who have full bellies with plenty of entertainment to distract them, and all the time in the world to virtue signal about their pet causes on social media. And from what I know of history, many of the so-called “poor” in Western civilization live as good today — in terms of having food, entertainment, and material possessions — as royalty did at various times in history. This includes a lot of those hammered by all the lockdowns. But that same history says what goes up will go down. And, crash in direct proportion to how high it went. i.e., The suffering from climbing and then falling from a ten foot tree is a mere irritation compared to the suffering, horror, and pain inflicted from climbing a 100ft tall building and then falling. My opinion. Which, of course, you can do whatever you want with... Anyway, I don’t pretend to have all the answers or solutions to this. But, each month in Email Players I do my part. And the February issue is, I believe, a very apt topic for current uncertain events.
