If you are here, you have a unique opportunity. I am going to share with you how I will give you free exposure in my books. Perhaps you are here because I contacted you with this message:
I am re-inventing a book about money and marketing. I would like to offer you the chance to comment on certain statements presented such as, “The fact is, many people think they understand economy when they really do not.” May I submit a statement for your review from time to time for your thoughts and if you choose to reply and if I use your comment as a quote in the book, I will publish your name and business name (with a link in the electronic version, directly to your website or webpage. You’ll also be the first to know when the book will be for sale on Amazon for only a dollar when it is launched. If interested, please visit my blog that shares more details and you can ask me any questions there.
You are now at the blog where I share the details. The paragraph above outlines it. Simply, with your permission, from time to time I'll email you a sentence or a short paragraph for you to expound upon. If selected to be published in the book, I'll have the right to edit your words gramatically and may trim it to fit. Your submitted thoughts will become part of the book and hence the ownership of the author (Yours Truly). In return you will receive credit with your name, and business name or moniker. If you would like, you can supply a link to your business web page or any other which will be used in any electronic copies.
For instance, after the content below I will share a sentence for the reader to think about. I will share that sentence with several influencers, and experts on the topic. From the replies I receive I will choose one or all to place after sentence to help the reader.
In the United States, where we have more land than people, it is not at all difficult for persons in good health to make money. In this comparatively new field there are so many avenues of success open, so many vocations which are not crowded, that any person of either sex who is willing, at least for the time being, to engage in any respectable occupation that offers, may find lucrative employment.
Those who really desire to attain an independence, have only to set their minds upon it, and adopt the proper means, as they do in regard to any other object which they wish to accomplish, and the thing is easily done. But however easy it may be found to make money, I have no doubt many of my hearers will agree it is the most difficult thing in the world to keep it. The road to wealth is, as Dr. Franklin truly says, "as plain as the road to the mill." It consists simply in expending less than we earn; that seems to be a very simple problem. Mr. Micawber, one of those happy creations of the genial Dickens, puts the case in a strong light when he says that to have annual income of twenty pounds per annum, and spend twenty pounds and sixpence, is to be the most miserable of men; whereas, to have an income of only twenty pounds, and spend but nineteen pounds and sixpence is to be the happiest of mortals. Many of my readers may say, "we understand this: this is economy, and we know economy is wealth; we know we can't eat our cake and keep it also." Yet I beg to say that perhaps more cases of failure arise from mistakes on this point than almost any other. The fact is, many people think they understand economy when they really do not.
The fact is, many people think they understand economy when they
really do not.
What do you think about this statement? What does it mean? In what ways do people think that they understand the economy but probably could be educated and be better off with a bit more clarity?
"People don't know what they don't know, but if they have the attitude of a student and a seeker, regardless of whatever age they are, I can help them to know".
