By James Altucher Urgent Crash Warning for TODAY, June 7th, 2021 [bargain to bubble]( Everyone already knows that the stock market is in a bubble… But now some experts are starting to predict that the bubble will burst sooner than anyone expected and hit harder than anyone could have imagined. With some experts saying that we could see a stock market sell-off of 80% or more as soon as next week… This could completely decimate the retirement saving of millions of Americans all at once. So if you care about you and your family’s wealth the time to act is NOW. That’s why we flew in one of the top traders in America to tell you exactly what you need to do to get ready for this impending crash… [Click here to see his FREE presentation]( But hurry, because if you wait until tomorrow, it could already be too late. She said, "Not everyone is like you. I'm not cut out to be an entrepreneur." BS! That's just an excuse and I'm tired of hearing it. Although I don't consider myself in the "entrepreneur" category of podcasts, I am grateful to be on this attached list. People often think being an entrepreneur is about risk taking. I hear this a lot: "Not everyone is cut out to be an entrepreneur." Neither of these is true. 1) An entrepreneur DOES NOT take risks. The entire job is to reduce risks. Else an entrepreneur will fail. There are many ways to reduce risks and I had to learn this the hard way. Example: Before I started one of my companies, Stockpickr, I guaranteed an ad deal that would net me $90,000 a month starting immediately. I had one partner, no employees, and no risk. Otherwise I would not have taken the risk of going into that business. Example 2: My first successful business, Reset, started while I was a full-time employee at HBO. I stayed a full-time employee for 18 months, until Reset was generating enough money that I would not have to go down in income if I made the jump to full time. And I had clients to make sure Reset would stay in business for at least another 12 months in the worst-case scenario. This is how I cut out risk. 2) When people say, "Not everyone is cut out to be an entrepreneur," I am confused. An EMPLOYEE is the biggest risk taker. It's like the turkey that is fed well every day and then on Thanksgiving is surprised when the machete comes out. [Nassim Nicholas Taleb]( says the three greatest addictions are heroin, carbohydrates, and a stable income.

Once fully functional... this breakthrough will disrupt a $2 trillion industry.... And change the way Americans work, play, travel, live. As with all disruptive breakthroughs... [this too will bring about huge opportunities for early investors. Get the complete details right here.]( Even within the confines of working for a company, an employee must be an "entre-ployee." Constantly connecting dots, looking for opportunities, seeking out the place least crowded, in order to find and then protect and grow their success. At HBO, for instance, they didn't have a website (1995), so I carved out my space there by going from lowly IT slave to being in charge of their website. Humans have always been entrepreneurs. 70,000 years ago we hunted for food and shared or bartered with the tribe. 10,000 years ago, the most successful humans were merchants, farmers, military leaders, religious leaders — all entrepreneurial efforts. To not cultivate the entrepreneurial aspects of our lives is to become the serfs and slaves of the ones who do. Whether we are employees, entrepreneurs, artists, "lifestyle entrepreneurs," side hustlers, etc., we must always go to the place least crowded, nourish our unique abilities, and provide service to society that gets rewarded. Without doing this, we lead lives of simmering anxiety. We will always feel like we have the potential for more More MORE but we won't know what. We will have an itch. We will have sleepless nights wondering, "What if?" We will wonder if the canvas we created our life on is a work of art or something to be discarded. And then we peter out, leaving no stamp behind on this world that was so eager to give bloom to our potential. I hate traditional entrepreneurship. I'm not a businessman, although I know the rules of the game. I don't like sales but I can sell things I believe in. I hate negotiation. I hate to manage other people. Every time I started a business, from 1987 until now, I always told myself, "Never again! I hate this." And I truly do. I started a food delivery business in my college in 1987. I started an internet-based chess server in 1992. "Never again!" But I did again. And again. And again. I'm an entrepreneur, like the rest of us. And I always will be. Sincerely, [James Altucher] James Altucher America’s Death Spiral Begins July 14th? you’re like most folks, you’re probably wondering how we got here... America’s institutions are rotten to the core. Common sense and human decency are relics of the past. And Americans at each other’s throats. Well, it wasn’t by accident. The prophetic analyst who predicted the subprime mortgage meltdown… the financial crisis of 2008… and Brexit… Says a grand experiment has been conducted on the American people without our consent. And the horrifying endgame is set to arrive on July 14th, 2021… Will you be ready?
