Truly we’ve been screwed by capitalism

Believe me, the impact of our capitalist economic system on the marketplace is one of the main reasons your business is under-performing!

Indeed it is a key reason why 80% of all new businesses fail within 5 years.

You may have never made the connection…but I have.

It’s like the law of evolution where the fittest survive while the unfit die out.

It’s like a game of Monopoly, were after hours of play, there is one winner and everyone else is bankrupt.

Capitalism works against the struggling majority of SME owners:

But, you say, how can this be if capitalism underpinned all western economies through the booming 20^th century?

It is my intention to explain the connection here and in future Blogs.

Consider these facts for starters:

1. Capitalism encourages vast numbers of workers to leave their job, borrow money, put the house at risk…and start a business, even when though most are statistically destined to fail
2. Thus it would seem that the system requires many LOSERS in order to make the survivors [WINNERS] marginally stronger
3. Average wages in Aussietopia is $78k pa for a 38 hour week; many, if not most, SME owner’s would work at least 50 hours/week but earn nothing like $78k
4. The ultimate goal of capitalism is to enrich a few at the expense of the many
5. Its central influence is the money-god [i.e. the love of money or ‘greed is good’ as Gordon Gekko proffered in the 1987 movie, Wall Street].

GOOD NEWS:

 YOU can be a ‘winner’ in your marketplace no matter your current status; but you must first UNDERSTAND the game that has been foisted upon us by ‘the system’.

Then all you need to do is stop playing, this ‘losers’ version of the game of capitalism.

In future Blogs it will be my privilege to show you HOW!
