In a recent documentary, Living on One Dollar, two filmmakers picked numbers out of a hat to decide how much money they would live on each day. Sometimes they picked $9 and sometimes they picked $0.
This dollar-a-day concept formed the basis of what life was like before the Industrial Revolution. The workforce had zero job security. Most of the time laborers did not know if they could feed their families from one day to the next.
The economy and people’s prospects really changed in the 2oth century. We had job security, health benefits and pension plans. But those days are quickly evaporating in the 21st century.
What does this mean for entrepreneurship going forward?
Today we’ll talk about how to prepare for the changes in the decades to come and exactly what you can do to make sure you don’t get stuck in a time warp. You’ll even get to hear me tell you my funniest, most embarrassing story ever. You won’t believe what happened to me and how I was forced way beyond my comfort zone in one second flat.
