One filthy Finance Hypnosis trick
If you're a great citizen and have financially survived pandemics, bushfires, floods & cyclones, Let’s be honest, you can feel ripped off, short changed and hijacked by the economy. Economics is off most of our radars until there is an economic crisis. In these delicate times, we can get desperate and fraudsters can take advantage.
While we know ‘Blind faith in business’ is normally a recipe for disaster, seeking out a hypnotherapist for a financial advantage isn't that uncommon, it can be hard to stay away from ‘woo woo’ concepts like ‘the universe will give you money’ - because it just sounds fabulous. I want to let you know to hang in there..
The Government is actually on your side when it comes to ecomonics
Adam Smith's 1776 masterpiece - The wealth of nations (book) was a massive commercial success because of the ‘invisible hand’. Let's be honest, most people only care about themselves. If you want to be a ballerina, blockchain developer, investment banker you can be one. This is the invisible hand. The fact is, the economy is on your side, most of the time there is nothing wrong with people acting in their self interest. In a free market the force of everyone pursuing everyone's own interest is a benefit to society, enriching everyone.
The law of Supply and demand determines the price of your products in the shops.
Opportunity cost - Calculating if spending your time elsewhere or doing something else might be more productive

The Malthusian trap also known as the Malthusian catastrophe
It has been proven wrong so many times and over multiple generations.
For example,
The human race has been expanding and exploiting the planet's resources so fast that it's heading for self annihilation.
If we don't cut back the population then, nature will step in with famine, war or disease.
Guess what Malthusian was wrong! When he came up with this theory;
The world’s population was at 980 million
Today the population has grown to 6.5 billion
The population is projected to be more than 9 billion by 2050
Today, most people live longer and are better fed. This is because we use technology to find more efficient ways, we solve the food problem and the population doesn't always grow exponentially.
‘Economics isn't the study of numbers, it's the study of people, for society to become healthier and more prosperous. Our economics has allowed us to live happier, healthier and longer for hundreds of years, beyond what our forefathers could have even contemplated, but prosperity is not assured its very fragile’ - Edmund Conway

Milton Hershey, Creator of the hershey bar - the story of the American dream

The Australian Author and successful business owner
John Ibrahim was once the most wire-tapped man in Sydney by the Australian police.
At one time John and his brother Sam once controlled the biggest protection on the street in Kings Cross - they were like the ‘Police force for Crooks’. All of the crooks, wanna be drug lords, and thugs were looking for a ‘Get rich quick scheme’ - in Kings Cross. It was a never ending drama, of stand over threats and payments that never ended. Then prostitution become legal, and gambling became legal - it got worse. On top of everything there was the Royal commission - to determine the existence and extent of corruption within the New South Wales Police. Once it was all over in 1999 everyone one John used to know was either dead or in jail. The kingscross trade transferred to the gay district Oxford street. It was no longer about ‘naked women’ it was about ‘young looking men’.
John bought the largest club on Oxford street
Twelve months later he owned eight other clubs on the same street.
Taking over Oxford street was like kindergarten compared to kings cross.
When the security master laws came in, he created security companies.
In 2014 the Australian financial review published an article titled ‘Mr sexy and sin city’, John had been linked to more than 23 licensed venues, including hotels, pubs, nightclubs, restaurants and cafes, and is understood to own freehold property up and down Darlinghurst Road. Reflecting on 27 years in the Cross, he “regrets not taking more risks' but says he’s “surprised by what I’ve achieved given the drawbacks".

Language of money
“The language of gold and of trust is the language of water. Gold was found in the currents where deposits were made in the banks of the river’s flow. We deposit our gold in the banks to build the flow of currency. We pool our liquid assets. We float loans. There are frozen assets. We flood the market. So a project grows and doesn’t wilt, “we pump money in.” If money dries up the project's new growth withers and dies. There are over eighty words in “money talk” that refer to the characteristics of water. Water is the gold of life. Trust is the gold, the water of rela-tionship. Trust keeps you afloat – it buoys you up. Trust is what money is.” - Don Tolman
"The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket."
Paypal - Zero to One
“Brilliant thinking is rare but courage is even rarer”, When we think about the future we hope for progress and that progress can take two forms;
Horizontal progress
Vertical progress
Horizontal progress means copying things that work.
Vertical means doing new things.
For example; If you take a typewriter and build 100 you have made horizontal progress, if you take a typewriter and build a word processor you have made vertical progress.
There is no reason why technology needs to be limited to computers, any new and better way of doing things is still technology. Peter Thiel's invention of paypal - it was vertical progress.
