Welcome to the Wealth Gap
A foreword from the founders
Life comes at you fast…
is an expression that most of us will have felt at some point in our lives. Unfortunately, we rarely experience these tectonic shifts as positives. Something invariably happens that completely throws us off our beaten track. We panic, flounder like fish on land before inevitably acclimatising to whatever the new normal is. Once we are back on track we pootle along until the next completely unexpected shift takes us through the whole process again.
Each time this happens it’s an unexpected shock…. yet we cannot deny these seismic shifts, whether they are personal or even geological are part of a pattern, a pattern that is always obvious with the power of hindsight. So why can’t we see the warning signs beforehand?
We know the planet has gone through life ending events in the past (asteroids, super volcano’s etc) so we can safely assume at some point that one of these will happen again.
We know that empires, countries and nation states rise and fall like clockwork. By studying history we can even spot the tell-tale signs of it happening before the event occurs. We know that the Roman Empire took over a hundred years to fall although it may not have been obvious to the people living it at the time.
We know that the markets go through boom and bust cycles which take 10-12 years on average to play out.
We know that technology destroys jobs and industries. We also know that new industries emerge from the ashes of the old.
We know people don’t save enough and can provide justifications for not planning for the future.
We know society places tremendous pressure on its citizens to appear wealthy. We know this pressure leads a lot of people to take on unsustainable levels of debt. Debt which will cripple their finances.
We know that school does not teach you how to make wealth nor how to keep it.
So…what do WE KNOW
We know that there is a seismic shift and transfer of wealth happening right now. It is imperative that this awareness is translated into personal wealth benefit rather than loss. Like the cyclical and predictable shifts of Empires falling to Industrial revolutions we are now staring straight at the fourth technological revolution and the world is not going to change significantly more in the next 20 years than it has been over the last 200 years.
We know that once you become aware of this macro trend then you will recognise that the greatest risk will be in not taking enough educated risks. The old well-travelled road is unlikely to lead you to riches, nor will throwing your money at snake oil salesmen. There are no get rich quick schemes. Even if by some miracle you win the lottery, without the right knowledge and mindset that wealth will slip through your fingers like water.
At The Wealth Gap we want to turbocharge your mind and knowledge in order for you to increase and retain your personal wealth and take advantage of what is happening right now.
Still don’t believe this is urgent? When bitcoin hits circa $185,000 then 50% of the Forbes 500 rich list will be Bitcoiners… Now try to convince yourself change isn’t coming.
Thanks for your time and see you in next weeks content drop
