Collapse And Prosper by Mike Dillard
The best advice I can give you about prospering in these times is to refer you to an article I read by Mike Dillard. I highly respect this man’s advice because he practices what he preaches.
I include a copy of the email Mike Dillard just sent me; you might find it helpful as well. 
Hey Subscriber, last week I asked you if you wanted information and my resources when it comes to the economy.
You voted “YES” 8 to 1.
So here you go… This is arguably the most important email I’ve ever sent in the last 5 years. Please make good use of it.
Also, below is part of a report from Mike Dillard. You see that report when you click on the above link. I strongly urge you to use that link and read the rest of this report. Mike Dillard suggests books on the economy that I believe you will find helpful as well.

We’ll I’ve got a pretty special post for you today… In fact, it may be the single most important message I’ve ever produced, so please stop what you’re doing and read this.
Last week, I took a little survey and asked if you’d like to hear about some of my economic insights and resources, in addition to the usual marketing strategies.
This wasn’t an easy decision, because I’m probably breaking every rule in the book right now when it comes to marketing…
Well at least every rule but one, which is the rule I’ve built my entire business upon… “Be willing to give without want, and you will get”.
And the bottom line is that you voted 8 to 1 in favor of getting this information, so I’m here to deliver for you today…
Now before we begin, I have a favor to ask of you…
If you haven’t taken a moment to reflect on what’s happening in Haiti and make a charitable donation, please stop and do that now through the Red Cross. (Thank you!)
Alright, On To The Economy…
So as I mentioned last week, I’ve been a voracious student of what’s been going on financially since the beginning of 2008, which gave me a few months of “heads-up” time before the crash of Lehman Brothers on Sept 15th, 2008.
For the last two years, I’ve literally spent 95% of my free time reading and researching what’s happening, and why its happening, in order to position myself to prosper in the future. <<MORE>>
Hi – really great website you have established. I enjoyed reading this posting. I did want to publish a comment to tell you that the design of this site is very aesthetically delightful. I used to be a graphic designer, now I am a copy editor in chief for a merchandising firm. I have always enjoyed functioning with computing machines and am trying to learn computer code in my free time (which there is never enough of lol).
I couldn’t agree with you more. I’ve been in network marketing since 1977, I’ve been through failures and successes, and I’ve seen a lot of so-called experts that don’t really understand the important principles to being successful. They may succeed in gathering names but their people skills are terrible, especially when their goal is to make money and could care less about what the people want that they contact. There are too many people like that out in the Network Marketing field. I do NOT believe in doing business this way. People like that may have success but it is short-term or else they live a lonely and sad life. I think I am going to write another blog on this subject. Thanks for sparking those thoughts in me and for your comment.
Really nice post. Theoretically I could write something like this too, but taking the time and effort to make a good article is a lot of effort…but what can I say….I’m a procrastinater. Good read though.
Very informative post. I’ve found your blog via Google and I’m really glad about the information you provide in your articles. Btw your sites layout is really broken on the Chrome browser. Would be really great if you could fix that. Anyhow keep up the great work!
I am not sure why the site is broken up on chrome. Chrome is what I use 99% of the time and it looks fine on my end. I may have to find a different format that is more compatible with chrome. Thank you so much for the kind words. I am pleased you enjoy the site.
