Uber’s first self-driving car pulls out onto the streets of Pittsburgh – Roadshow

10 Jun

Everyone loves Uber.

It’s hip, trendy, and an industry disruptor.

ALL the elements of a good spy novel.

Okay, I’m kidding.  This is no Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

However there is a side to this story I’m betting most people have missed- The job killer this will be. 

UBER, while providing new forms of jobs is killing its predecessor jobs.

But I’m not talking about those jobs.

I’m talking about the multiple industries and service industries that will disappear when the cars don’t need us.

 

Now, why is this important to you?

Simple- are you waiting for UBer or one of its’ Silicon Valley friends to disrupt the industry that you eek out a living from?

IS your income/salary/living in someone elses hands?

Why?

Not long ago I realized I’d never be paid what I was worth as long as I had a boss.

It was a sobering thought, but liberating as well.

Want to join me in firing “The Boss?”

Are you ready to live up to your full potential?

Lowell Senior Panhandling To Help Pay Way To Medical School

21 Apr

Surely this isn’t how you want. Your kids or yourself to pay for the things that are wanted or needed.

I’m not knocking this lady- what I am knocking is the mindset that has come about in America.
It is high time we all decide to take control of our collective destiny.

Wouldn’t you prefer to have total control of the purse strings in your life?

Wouldn’t financial freedom as opposed to financial aid feel great?

Need a plan?
A solution?
Both?

The consolation prize for not getting into Harvard or Stanford

2 Apr

Yet another reason why investing in a high priced degree is probably not worth the effort when you can make 6 figures.

Education is important but a solid foundation that ensures you have wealth for generations and financial freedom now…?

Yeah, bet that sounds better. Let’s chat.

This Is What It Feels Like When A Robot Takes Your Job | Fast Company | Business + Innovation

21 Mar

The lesson here folks is quite simply this:

Never Reply on one skill set or stream of income.

If you are a journalist, a lawyer, a driver, or delivery man- you are quickly being phased out.  Doctors, your day is coming as well. Machines and algorithms are filling the void between excessive human cost and 0 cost, at least from the business perspective.

Now not every company feels this way, but look around you folks. Even local branch banking is being phased out.

 

Regardless of your dream job, or life mission- I urge you all to find at least one more method to bring in some money.

Should you prefer to invest in Forex, so be it.

Kidding.

Unless you will work it like a job.

When you have 2-10 sources of income you will breathe easier, have more money, and you can get that pool house like Uncle Phil to kick Will too.  🙂

Almost half of U.S. jobs may one day be automated. For some employees who worked at a free on-demand concierge, that day came last month.

Costco will Not save You money

19 Mar

Now I’m all for being Frugal, no question about it.
However a lot of people are trading their most valuable resource for a few pennies.
So you wait in line 20 minutes to save 7 cents a gallon on 9 gallons to fill your Honda.
Good job. You are a smart consumer.

Wrong mind set- and here’s is why:
63 cents is nothing compared to the almost half hour you lost.

Was that time income producing?
Nope.
Could you recruit someone into your primary business in that time?
Yup.
I’ve seen a good marketer close in 5 minutes.
Even if all you get is a lead/phone number- the practice alone is worth more than 63 cents, especially to a newbie.

Should you be saving money?
All the time.

Should you be losing time?
Never.
Now if you are practically broke, maybe this works for you.
But if you are that broke than it just might be time to repurpose a lot of your time and build a business that takes your financial situation out of the hands of others.

Remember there is no sense in being stupid and cent savvy.
