A paradigm shift..

Only a small percentage of people are aware of the paradigm shift occurring within our society. Those who are aware of it can position themselves to profit from it.. while the majority will be left by the wayside.

For the first half of last century, society told us that the key to success was to do well at school, find a big company that would be around forever, start in the mail room, and spend the next 40 years working your way up the corporate ladder. This was truely the slow road to success as it relied on people above you moving on to make room for you to move to a higher station.

Later in the 20th Century, there was a stronger push for students to continue their education after high school.. go onto University.. get a degree.. so you could start in a position higher than the mail room, and move up the ladder more quickly.

Around the same time there was a move away from the traditional "work for one company your whole life" motto, and workers realised that it was much faster to "jump ship" to a competitors company to move up the ladder than waiting for your boss to retire.

Since the late 90's and early 21st Century, there is an emerging breed of successful people who are rapidly becoming wealthy, often without any University degrees or spending decades working for one or multiple companies. These people are seeking rapid education in the area of success and wealth creation.
