Hi {email}
You know, I feel genuinely worried for people who aren’t keeping up with the times.
I’m not talking about the social and political weirdness that’s going on - who can keep up with that?
But the technology that is increasingly part of our everyday lives. And the possibilities that the internet has created for us in terms of lifestyle freedom.
Its just the way things are and there’s no stopping it (unless we let the Taliban take over the world and take us back to the stone age!)
Whilst my brother and I have been helping mum to deal with the emotional and practical fallout from Dad’s death after a long illness I’ve become aware of just how out of touch she is with the modern world.
She was talking about announcing the death in the Newspaper for example and finding a Funeral director in The yellow pages.
My brother and I did everything on our phones and explained that basically no one reads newspapers anymore and every business on earth is on the internet (if it wants to stay in business)
We communicate via email, apps, text and video. She does none of those things. She has an ancient mobile phone (for emergencies)
That’s not such a big deal for a comfortably off 85 year old woman but there are plenty pf people out there much younger who are really going to find life tough if they don’t get with it.
My folks were part of the last generation who could rely on a job for life and an early retirement with a great pension for the rest of their lives.
The world is utterly different now.
It really is essential that people equip themselves with the skills that are needed, not just to survive, but to thrive in it.
Its basic evolution but much faster than the natural variety
Next month my mentors - the people who helped me get those skills after the last global recession left me high and dry - are officially releasing their new Launch You programmes to the public.
They are amazing.
If you haven’t had a sneak preview of the PDF I sent links to last week you can grab it on >> this blog post<<
The PDF also provides access to a exclusive free webcast by co-founder Stuart Ross
They could well be the most life changing things you read and/or watch in your life
Bests for now
Dave
