Surviving, Even Thriving, During These Unprecedented Economic Conditions

Published: Fri, 05/20/22

Hi ,

I was chatting with my wife this morning, as we fiddled around
in our backyard garden.

We purchase a few of the things used in our garden at our local
Dollar Store.

While, a year ago EVERYTHING in the store was priced at $1, my
wife pointed out that everything is now $1.25.

That's a 25% price increase in only one year!

That's comparable to price increases in many sectors of our
economy, although if you look at government statistics you'd
believe that inflation is less that 10%.

Analyzing government statistics reminds me of the Mark Twain
quote, “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and
statistics.”

Twain, actually didn't take credit for the quote, but that's
another topic.

Regardless of whose inflation figures you believe, it's obvious
that the craziness driven largely by governments' reactions to 
the Covid-driven worldwide shutdown, and printing money to hand 
out to citizens at an INSANE rate, leaves most of us totally
bewildered.

So, I'd like to discuss solutions to this craziness both here in
this ezine, and in a Private Facebook Group that I encourage you
to join.

The Facebook Group is FREE, but you do need to apply, and not
everyone is accepted.

That's because I like keeping the group drama-free... AND
spam-free.

An admin will look over your request, and "should" add you fairly
quickly, although that's not guaranteed.

I leave that totally up to the judgment of my admins.

Households aren't the only ones struggling just to survive during
these unprecedented economic conditions.

MILLIONS of business have folded, and millions more struggle.

One of the leading causes of many business failures is
"cash-flow."

They simply don't have enough revenue flowing in at the right
time to enable them to stay afloat.

On top of that, the Federal Reserve Board attempts to "control"
things like inflation by  unpredictably tightening and loosening
interest rates.

Interest rates are now poised for a huge upturn, and that's 
going to tighten the noose on many struggling businesses even 
more.

One simple solution to the cash-flow issue that I've used for
nearly a decade is that I use “business barter” instead of
cash at times.

I'm a member of a "business barter exchange" with 25,000+ member
businesses in the U.S. and Canada.

Instead of paying cash for things that we need to operate our
businesses, we often use "barter dollars."

We earn barter dollars by selling our goods and services for
barter dollars which are "banked" within the exchange.

I'll personally earn multiple six-figures this year on that
exchange.

I'll use those funds to purchase things like printing, office
equipment, advertising in all types of media, hotels and
time-share costs, limos and even private air travel, legal and
accounting services, medical and dental services, web services,
vehicle maintenance, construction, gifts, and personal household
expenses.

With 25,000+ members, I can find almost anything imaginable on my
exchange.

As I said, my exchange is ONLY for businesses located in the U.S.
and Canada.

However, there are business barter exchanges in many... if not
most countries and regions around the world.   I just don't know
the specifics of most of them, so you'll need to do your own
research there.

I will share with you a "little-known secret"...

Many barter exchanges have the ability to, and often DO, reach
across to arrange trades for their members for goods and services
on other barter exchanges.

Fully 90% of the personnel working to run the barter exchanges
don't even know that FACT... but now you do.

Barter exchanges have been around for well over a century but,
for the longest time, were shrouded in secrecy.

I'm kicking open the doors for you because I don't want to see
your business needlessly struggle, and be one of the millions
that will PERISH in the next year or two.

IF you operate a business in the U.S. or Canada, I'll even go as
far as directly invite you into my barter exchange.

I'm doing that for selfish reasons too...

If I get you to join us, then I'll have access to some of your
goods and services without having to pay cash for them :-)

While many believe that "cash is king," I think that bit of
"conventional wisdom" is often false these days... especially due
to the hyper-inflation.

I'm personally  very diversified.

In fact, I "may" even own shares in a silver mine, and I "may
have” even purchased those shares using barter dollars that I
earned by selling digital good (electrons).

We can go pretty deep down that rabbit hole, but fiat currency is
just one form of "money" that can help your business not only
survive, but thrive.

For more information on joining the barter club/exchange
that I'm in just email me at:

high-level contacts within the exchange.

If you would just like more info, tell me that in the body of
your email.

I'll go ahead and wrap up this LONG email, but look forward to
helping us all not just survive but THRIVE during these crazy
times.
