Sources & visuals: https://bit.ly/33NrRuE ----------------------- Back in April 2019, the greatest stock trade in the history of the world was completed: MacKenzie Scott bought Amazon stock in 1993 - an entire year before the company was founded and sold in 2019, twenty-six years later for a staggering $35 billion in profit. But instead of buying and selling Amazon stock - it was through marrying Jeff Bezos (without a prenup) - and divorcing Jeff Bezos. Then there’s poor ol’ Elon - who didn’t go through just one pricey divorce - but three! The first was with Justine Musk. Elon had to pay at least $4 million dollars in legal and accounting fees, which comes out to $170,000 per month. Then came his second marriage with actress Talulah Riley. They divorced in 2012, leaving Riley with $4.2 million dollars. Then they made up, got married again and then divorced again a year later, leaving Riley with a much more respectable $16 million. Which brings us to Bill and Melinda Gates. Bill married Melinda on a Hawaiian Island around the same time as Bezos in 1994. Twenty-seven years later in 2021, they file for divorce and are still working out how much of the $130 billion dollar empire Melinda is gonna get. Bill has already given her $2.4 billion dollars worth of shares. Before you go calling all women gold diggers, unless you’re divorcing the ultra wealthy, usually neither the groom nor the bride comes out on top. Usually, in America, the real gold diggers that profit off of a divorce - are the divorce lawyers, the judges, the family courts. Well, what most people don’t realize is that in America, marriage is not just a vow of love, but a financial contract. You hire a divorce lawyer to protect yourself against your spouse taking your stuff. You pay maybe $600/hr, $700/hr, and maybe even more insane numbers. Why do people pay such high ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsWPm-rzQnc

Another is Made in China 2025 Your energy demands for electricity, oil, etc, are higher than ever and it’s gonna keep growing The original Silk Road that connected China to the rest of the world runs through an area of China called Xinjiang. Xinjiang is also home to a ton of natural resources. It has 40% of your coal reserves, 25% of your gas reserves, so Xinjiang is your most important piece of land Xinjiang is home to the Uighurs If Uighurs don’t feel like they’re a part of the Chinese culture, they could want to form their own independent nation If you don’t do something about this issue, everything falls apart You need to flood the city with police and 24 hour surveillance to keep the peace. So you turn Xinjiang into a high tech police state to categorize people as safe, regular, or unsafe So you build re-education camps This is gonna cost a lot of money to build and maintain but the ROI of tightening our grip on this region will be make us a lot more money While you have all these people captured ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxvYcByv2M8

Enroll now: http://bit.ly/LLA-yt This short little clip from the richest man in the world, founder and CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, emcompasses every reason why dropshipping won’t last Dropshipping was one of the latest… we’ll call it “business out of a box” schemes that has been around for a few years now This is where internet marketers claim that if you buy their course, they’ll teach you how with very little effort, you can make money, quit your job, buy a lambo, without much effort There are many forms of it: ebay dropshipping, amazon dropshipping, print on demand, etc. The whole premise is that you can find these so-called “winning products” from wholesale distributors, usually from China with Aliexpress You find the winning product You get traffic to your website via paid ads on Facebook and Instagram People buy You pocket the difference - aka retail arbitrage So why won’t dropshipping last? When you get paid at a job, you made money because you provided value to your employer in the form of your labor. And in every other business it’s the exact same - you make money from customers when you provide enough value to them The more value, the more money you make So money is really just a storehouse of value In Jeff’s own words, customers that buy products online only care about these three things: low prices, big selection, fast delivery And since that’s literally all Amazon focuses on, that’s probably why Jeff is the richest man in the world Yet, what are the only things people and online gurus focus with dropshipping? How I can do the least amount of work How can I make enough money to quit my job and fire my boss And there lies the problem - the entire idea and business model of dropshipping completely neglects what every customer wants You provide next to ZERO value to customers How are people making money from dropshipping then? First movers Low margins Fake numbers and fake gurus Even if you can make a profitable dropship business, is that the best long term business model to get into? So why so many dropshipping gurus?
