I’m all about preparing for and creating a life of wealth and independence – not just in terms of finances, but in every regard: physical wealth, mental wealth, relationship wealth…
Achieving wealth in all areas of your life gives you freedom, independence, confidence, happiness, your health, peace of mind… so many things!
When you’re in control of your health, your finances, your safety and security, your home, your food, your energy, your relationships, your life – the world is a great place!
However, in the world we live in, I’ve come to realize that one area of life has the biggest impact on all the others, and that’s finances.
You can’t have real independence in your life without first having control over your finances, without having financial independence. Because if you’re stressed about paying the bills, you will be severely limited in being able to do anything else, which will only make you more stressed…
So it’s most important to start there. (If you need some tips or strategies to help you change your bad financial habits or just want to know where to begin, visit my blog at http://hansschoff.com/ where I share my secrets for creating wealth.)
Then you’ll be able to lift your head and look forward, to look ahead and see what obstacles lie before us on the horizon so that you can adjust your plans accordingly and not just head straight into them without even realizing it until it’s too late (which unfortunately the masses will do).
You’ll be able to take corrective action and turn out of harms way. You’ll be able to take precautions and make simple preparations so that you can avoid what today might be a slight inconvenience but without preparation or the right plans could turn into a massive disruption down the line (especially if you haven’t gotten your finances under control).
For example, you’ll be able to avoid having to rely on the corrupt banking system, the “just in time” distribution system, the “aging and outdated” energy grid and system, the unsustainable food system (which relies on the potentially unreliable transportation and fuel system)…
All these systems that most people simply take for granted – systems we have become completely dependent on, systems we expect to work 24/7 without interruption as they always have – has made us lazy and oblivious to what is really going on…
Most people forget that electricity is not generated from your wall outlet, or that gas is not produced from the pump, or water from the pipes in your house…
These are all great and wonderful things, I love having the ability to just flick a switch for light, turn the tap for water and swipe my card at the station around the corner to fill up my truck at a moment’s notice…
…But what happens when another tornado hits?
- What if the power goes out for several days?
- What happens when a hurricane interrupts the flow of oil in the pipeline and transportation shuts down?
- What happens if you lose your job?
- What happens if the housing market drops by another 50%?
- What if the stock market and your retirement accounts are completely wiped out?
- What if the economy collapses or the dollar crashes?
- What if we’re not able to supply enough oil to meet demand?
- What do you do when the people finally revolt against higher taxes / unemployment / political & financial corruption / high inflation / (you name it)…?
Am I talking Armageddon?
Lol, no. These are real situations that happen to people all around the world today, and most people unfortunately in our country are simply unprepared.
I see it every day. We’ve all gotten so used to the good times that we’ve forgotten that famine follows feast, just like winter follows summer (time after time…).
We’ve all gotten so dependent on the systems, on everything working just perfect that any relatively small interruption (in the big scheme of things) would wipe out most people and become a major disaster… when it doesn’t have to.
So many people are just hanging on, living paycheck to paycheck, totally oblivious that there’s even a possibility that there even be a slight interruption in any of these systems.
What would they do?
What if there was a sustained disruption for more than a few days or a week? (Think Katrina, or more recently the people in New Jersey after Hurricane Sandy…)
This is why it is critical that your finances be in order, that you’re earning multiple streams of income…
…to insure against any one of them drying up (like losing your ONE paycheck that you rely on if all you have is a job, for example) and to ensure that you’re not living on the edge should something unexpected occur in this uncertain world we find ourselves in today. (And it doesn’t have to be difficult or require a full-time effort – just a full-time commitment to doing something more.

OK, the media and government do a good enough job of scaring people. That’s not my intent. I simply took a look around and woke up to the fact that if any of these events were to occur, I didn’t want to be the one caught off guard, massively inconvenienced, or worse have to put my life or future on hold because I wasn’t paying attention.
Personal Responsibility
See, I decided to reanalyze and pay attention to what’s really going on, to ”think outside the box” a little more, and to plan on my future being one of success and abundance – not just leaving it up to chance, or crossing my fingers and hoping nothing ever goes wrong. That’s called naive!
I wanted to have peace of mind by simply planning ahead so I could be relatively unaffected, and continue to THRIVE forward (instead of just trying to survive), living each day with as minimal an impact on my way of life as possible, regardless of what happens in the future.
What does that mean?
Taking independence and freedom seriously.
For me personally, that’s by continually moving forward in creating that independence, growing my multiple streams of income as well as launching various other businesses related to protection and preparation (like tornado shelters, Biodiesel, online marketing and blogging, etc as a way to not only create additional streams of income but to have other ways and means to THRIVE).
And spending my off-time continually learning new skills, growing and plugging into a community of like-minded people, WHILE enjoying everything that is currently available and accessible today (like driving 6 hours to the gulf for a little beach-time, for example! 
I guess that turned more into a rant than I realized, but if you’ve had any of the same kinds of thoughts lately and want to do something about it (instead of just deny it and stick your head in the sand like most people, lol), connect with me and let’s prepare to THRIVE regardless of what happens in the near or long-term.
