Economics & Business; Advice on careers & achieving success

Public school was literally designed by and for wealthy industrialists at the dawn of the industrial revolution. The first free public schools were even funded by them and designed for them. The core objective of school was to train illiterate farmers sons and daughters the three R’s (Writing Reading & Arithmetic) so that they could become compliant industrial factory workers

Now that we have exited the Industrial age and entered the digital age, what we are learning, or learned at school leaves us entirely unprepared. The lessons school forget will drop some truth bombs about life, the stuff they didn’t tell you because, let’s be honest school wasn’t really designed for you. It will show you how our minds have been shaped from a young age to be ‘followers’ at a time when we need leadership and creativty. It will teach readers the truth about the economic system we live in, in very simple terms. Terms that everyone can understand – regardless of education levels. It will introduce the readers to The new three R’s

Revolution – how we got here, what’s next and why the new skills you need are more human and creative. Things you can learn if you make the effort. A motivational reminder that this revolution is for everyone who can be bothered to participate.

Revenue – The truth about money. This section will go through the different types of money and how to get. Specifically there are 3 types of money: Earned, Invested & Invented.

Reinvention – Now we know what’s needed, this section will teach the techniques to become a modern day expert in X. And all it takes is a personal investment of time. I’ll go through the myriad of tools at our disposable to become more valuable to the market place. I’ll look at the skill bases needed in the future, all of which reside on a higher human level.
