How Extraordinary Times Create Extraordinary Wealth

Each year in human history, dating back to Cleopatra, historians looked for patterns of extraordinary wealth and almost 20% of the names they came up with had come from a single generation. (think Rockefeller, Cabot, Vanderbilt etc.. and the Industrial Revolution)

As noted in Malcolm Gladwell's Book - Outliers: The Story of Success, when "all the rules of how a national economy had functioned had become broken" these intrepid men and women transformed an economy and rewrote the rules of success.

Our current global economy is no different, at least in this one respect - all the rules of how our economy had functioned are broken.

These are extraordinary times. This is our opportunity to rewrite the rules of success. We are each living in that very generation.

You can be one of the intrepid who will transform a global economy and create extraordinary wealth ~ Carpe Diem!
