Atlas Shruggedin Real Life...

OK... based on recent events in our economy and what appears to be an administration bent on destroying our capitalistic system, it seems that Ayn Rand was way ahead of her times when she wrote her fiction novel "Atlas Shrugged".
 
If you have not read this book... you should.  While written in 1957, it seems to have captured the essence of some of the very things our nation is being confronted with today... primarily that there has been an ever-increasing group of people (looters or non-producers) who are willing with a straight face to live off of the efforts of an ever-decreasing number of (producers or creators). 
 
And the differences in these two groups are being exploited by a very vocal group lead by our current administration.
 
If you are confused about what I am talking about, consider that, just today, the administration laid out the details of its $75,000,000,000.00 (that's a lot of zeros) plan to have you and me as (producers) pay for the mortgages of those (looters) who can't afford the mortgages they have. How do you feel about that?  I think it stinks!
 
In addition, the budget presented to congress promises to only reinforce the notion that you and I will have ample opportunity to fork over our hard-earned income and profits, via increased taxes and reduced deductions, to those who choose not to take the risks and reap the rewards of their efforts and quite frankly expect that they deserve the fruits of our labors without so much as raising a hand to help.
 
So... where am I going with this?
 
Well, I have been thinking seriously about going "John Galt!"  If you don't know what that means, read the book... or Google it.  I will share with you that, essentially, it means cutting back, doing nothing to support the economy, going off-grid and reducing my income and TAXES to the lowest level possible.  Sounds great doesn't it?
 
But I am not willing to that!
 
Instead, I am proposing something totally contrary to a rapidly-growing movement.  What I am proposing is that if we, you and I, want our economy to survive and recover in spite of all of the challenges thrown in front of us... then we must ensure that our small real estate businesses thrive and prosper.  As that is the only way to get us out of this hole we find ourselves in.
 
If you listened to my podcast this week (www.theclubmastermind.com/podcast.asp), I shared with you the impact you have on your local economy every time you buy and fix a property.  It is staggering when you think about it!
 
So... starting with the next SOS, I will be sharing with you a few insights into what you, as a small business owner and entrepreneur, should be implementing in your real estate investing business to thrive in our current economy.  
 
Stay tuned...
 
To Your Success

There has been much debate over this recently, especially among electrical contractors. Rightfully so. LED tube promise to be more energy efficient, less harmful to the earth and more economical in the longrun than traditional fluorescent tubes. Yet there are many experts who think the technology isn’t ready for “prime time.” LED High bay are more expensive up front and improvements still need to be made in the strength of the lighting.
