[INFOGRAPHIC] 5 Reasons Why Most Don’t Become Wealthy

Even though we live in the most affluent country in the world, where most people earn and spend a fortune in the course of their working lifetimes, why is it that the majority ends up dependent on social security, pensions and relatives when they retire?

If a person earning $25,000 dollars per years would just save $2500 dollars per year, ten percent of his income, and invest it carefully to earn a return of ten percent compounded over the course of his working lifetime, the years from age 21 to age 65 (44 years), it would grow to $1,794,762 dollars through the miracle of compound interest.

With our crashing economy, the big question is: what is the future of American currency? 

The past will help us to understand the future. Eye of the Phoenix documents the bizarre history of the design of the dollar bill, exposing the occult activity surrounding the FDR administration. There is perhaps no other period in U.S. history when so many people were so deeply involved in the occult, and held positions of power that reached all the way to the White House.

 Phoenix focuses specifically on the years prior to World War II leading up to 1935, when the Great Seal was taken out of obscurity and placed on the foundation of America’s currency. 

5 Things Entrepreneurs Can Learn From Watching "Shark Tank"

Of all the reality TV shows that I have seen, nothing can come close to Shark Tank when it comes to sharpening one’s entrepreneurial and negotiation skills. It gives participating entrepreneurs an opportunity to present their business proposal before five accomplished investors (sharks) on stage and ask for an investment in return for a stake in their company or venture. 

Naturally, it is a tough spot to be in. Most people take away something from the show, either a check, valuable advice, or a great experience.

Here are ten things entrepreneurs can learn from the TV show Shark Tank:

[VIDEO] TBI Archives no.1- ETHOS | A Time For Change Documentary

The Ethos documentary, a very powerful documentary hosted by American actor, Woody Harrelson, is an investigation into the flaws in our nations' systems, and the mechanisms that work against democracy, our environment and the common good. With a stunning depth of research and breath of analysis, Ethos: A Time For Change,  delves deep into the inter-connected worlds of Politics, Multi-National Corporations and the Media.

Most of us have wondered at some point how we have arrived at a situation where democracy is touted as having created an equal society when all we see is injustice and corruption. Politicians openly deceive the public with the support of major corporations and the mainstream media.

 Wars are waged, the environment is destroyed and inequality is on the rise.

What is the source of these institutional mechanisms which – when we scratch the surface – are so clearly anti-democratic, so contradictory to the values we hold in common and yet so firmly embedded that they seem beyond discussion?

[CAUTION] Only Nice People Take Drugs

Nice People And Serious Business

Often time we hear and see nice people doing nice things… yeah. Of course, it’s the right thing to do but what if you’re in business? Is being nice to everyone going to get you to where you want to be successfully? What about having nice people on a team where aggression is often time needed? Here are a few facts regarding nice people: 

• Want To Please Everyone
• Tend To Be Used For Others’ Gain
• Have No Backbone
• Afraid To Be Honest & Blunt
• Would Rather Take A Loss Than Gain A Win

The world of business is cut-throat and nice people tend to get ran over and finish last… in other words, you can’t always be willing to give out to everyone and be kind.

The world is full of vultures. Sometimes you have to stand your ground, especially when people waste your time. It’s cool to deal with nice people, but in business, I would much rather have someone honestly tell me what I should work on instead of just being nice and and saying, “Yeah, you’re doing great!”
