There has never been a better time than now to start a new company.
While this may seem odd to post in the Health & Wellness part of the forum, i believe it is actually an integral part of being Healthy and Well.
Not by the fault of anyone person are the bastions of enterprise of yesterday are disappearing. Entire segments of the economy, because of technology,
are reshaping everything we know about business. This chaos is playing out its final dance before our eyes. I don't know if it will be a crash all at
once, or a continual decent into madness, but at some point, the picture will be evident and clear to all. We are in the midst of a new Renaissance.
Much like the Black Plague wiped out much of known humanity back in the Middle Ages, debt coupled with greed and inefficiency, will be the driving
force behind removing the "Power" from today's clergy..The Banking/Corporate conglomerates. I cannot really say what will happen in the middle, I hope
of course nothing, but as far as what comes out on the other side, will be a re awakening for all when it comes to knowledge and self sufficiency due
to technology becoming more independent of those that mean to simply profit off of it.
Some Examples:
3D Printers - These are going to/already are knocking out the need for traditional manufacturing. The future will see companies spawning that can
build entire buildings, perhaps even sky scrapers, for what I can only imagine is hundreds of thousands, if not millions, off of the cost per project.
Then you have Cars, replacement parts for things, etc. These truly are mesmerizing and will bring a new dawn of technology to the modern, everyday
home.
Electric Powered Bicycles - Yup, these are likely to become major. Already we see Pod type vehicles that are not necessarily cars, but might closely
resemble as such, but are actually pods. An Electric Bicycle offers some incredible benefits to urban dwellers over traditional vehicles due to the
size and of course, cost, of use. 28 Mph or higher can be achieved with as little as a 48kw motor.
Solar - This will only become more popular as a supplement or entire replacement in certain applications to traditional, and subject to hacking and
failure, power grids. Entire building facades can be redone to absorb and power buildings using low power bulbs and lighting. It will only make sense
that this is the direction to go as it offers to most security to any location requiring an almost closed loop type electricity system. To any place
that traditionally is sunny vs heavy rain, a tiny investment in this compared to the overall cost of what tenants pay to have it provided is enormous.
Trash Waste - The World they say is polluted, but one mans trash is another mans gold. As having been a scrapper myself 7 or so years ago, it's not a
bag gig, but you must be persistent. Enter land fills. These are filled with high intensity debris that contains gold, silver, copper, etc. ABS
plastics and other material that when sorted properly can be both composted, used for energy, and in the case of the metals, re used in industry
applications where it will be desperately needed.
Etc.
These ideas are only some of the example I can think of, but perhaps you can add your ideas as well. The future is bright and as always it is Darkest
just before the Dawn. The best path to a healthy financial future for yourself and your loved ones is to start a business. As an owner myself, it
really takes only a few things. Planning, Execution, and Follow up. You wont please everyone, but you will get the best results with these 3 being
repeated.
It really is the best time ever to get started. Don't let fear hold you back either, that is not a healthy mindset to be in. It will only cripple you
and leave you with regret later on. If you are looking to Jump, do it! do it now! as Arnold would say. You must! For I can tell you, even the
companies I compete with, are not at all the capable, nimble, and ear to the ground giants you may perceive them to be. It is evident all around that
things are changing and you must change with it. Don't let the consternation of the day be on your mind. Focus instead on what makes you happy and do
it. There is no other way to explain it. We're all afraid to fail, but no one really fails, until you give up hope.
Jump! It may be a perfectly good Air Plane, and the uncertainty is truly nerve racking, but it will be an experience like no other you will ever know.
Jump!

Thats nice and all, given the ongoing spewing of toxins into the environment, the deforestation, the chemical fertilizers and genetic manipulation of
food, the pollution and depletion of ground aquifers, the enormous population explosion, and endless war for remaining resources, when all added up,
these things tend to negate a 'new renaissance' or whatever you called it, insuring a huge die off instead.
Not that the earth wasting mega corporations seem to mind, they are focused on their profits at the expense of everything and everyone. The problem
with that is this time its 'Global' not isolated to one hemisphere or region of the Globe.
Everytime a civilization falls the survivors move somewhere else and start over. There is no place to go anymore that won't be polluted or destroyed
with the effluent run off from our civil-ized society.
I advise you all figure out how to turn your usually money pit hobbies into cash flow models. That that is precisely the way to think towards hobbies.
Throw it like a pineapple hand grenade, and then follow the money angles.

Those are all things that sum up why the Renaissance is happening. All that you speak of are creations of a different age and we are entering into a
new one. Even War is obsolete. What happens to an armies capability to fight when hackers have destroyed the means of funding it entirely? Missiles
being able to be hacked via satellite and exploded on the ground or lasers destroying them in the air?
None are reasons to give up anything and certainly not the idea of starting a business.
War is more defined and developed than ever, people that wage it are ever more convinced they can win because of their hi tech weaponry. This leads to
more war, not less... as we see.

Running your own business doesn't make you healthy and well... it drives you star craving mad, and you never get a moments rest.
Only if you are a CEO of a corporation does owning your own business seem appealing.
Entrepreneurship has its long work hours but it takes perseverance and dedication you getting your ideas into market and (hopefully) getting paid for
them. True that, rare moments of rest.
Being CEO is just a title and nothing more. You will still be running around getting your ideas around into the market and maybe you will make money.
See Entrepreneurship.
The entrepreneurial world is still a viable course to take. Thanks to the web. and technology, your office is on your phone or laptop, no need for
brick and mortar space.
I just sold 3 of my LLCs to my employees so I can pursue another enterprise and place all that capital in one corporation.
I am also pulling all my assets out of the market. Trump is poised to pop the current bubble and it's going to devastate a lot of small businesses
and some not so small, retirement accounts and believe me, there are going to be causalities. bigly I'm not going to experience another O8,
blessed to have options this time around. Don't say you weren't warned....
My advice, if you have any disposable funds, is to invest in covfefe related enterprises. Perhaps open up a little covfefe kiosk at the
mall....

I'm 5 years deep into my own business, its long hours, no free time for a social life, and you're constantly worried about money. Then comes the
entire aspect of hiring help, and growing your business. I'm already stretched beyond my limit, and I'm in the process of starting a second business
on top of this.
Not to mention the various taxes/regulations imposed on small businesses... it's not all glory, a lot of it is thankless work that only you will
appreciate. Don't get me wrong, I rather be working for myself than somebody else, but its not all rainbows and unicorns. Lol. Most people can't even
comprehend the difficulty of running a business until you're already heavily involved. Also, a lot of people don't have the drive/ambition it takes to
run a business.. if it were so easy, then everybody would be doing it.

The problem with 3D printers is they need someone who's competent with CAD and unless you are one yourself so there's 10k right there, not to mention
the loss of thousands of manufacturing and fabrication jobs that 3D printers will kill. Alternative energies are mos def the safer option as it
requires skill, labor and like 3D printers, expertise. it's one thing to build a coffee cup with a 3D printer at home, but creating a turbine for a
new hydroelectric dam takes time and money, and fossil fuels.

You need the designs that were submitted and maybe designed in CAD. The print requires just the file itself. Need a new car? Download one today!
That's the future.
War is the sloppiest thing I have ever seen anymore. Not one mission ever goes right anymore, #'s breaking down everywhere, The populations of the
World are now armed to the teeth making occupation impossible and War itself just a stupid idea that is expensive.
You should not be in a business that you don't love though. The raving mad parts must also reconcile with the incredible joy parts.
In today's day and age, you don't get the luxury of "being in business for something you love" I'm in business to make money. Not have a wonderful
experience. Not everybody can get the greatest jobs, or enter the best markets. Sometimes you have to enter a market that you can afford to get
into.
You won't find many successful business owners that don't stress out at some point in their career.

We are heading to a new age of Peace.
Yah, "Peace" of the grave. This video shows the height of technological development, its not even war so much as just total destruction, in an eye
blink.
