These days, we are all freelancers whether we want to admit it or not. No one is indispensable than incorporation, big government, entity or even a nonprofit, we can all be fired, we can be outsourced. Increasingly, technology is eliminating many, many jobs. If you want to have a place in the worldwide economy, I believe you've got to develop a freelancer mentality. Even if you're already in a big corporation. This means you've got to be the best in the world at what you do.
You've got to really be able to deliver clear cut value. And you've got to be able to figure out who needs you, how can you get in front of them, and how can you get paid from them. These are critical skills for survival. If you look at the worldwide economy, things are pulling apart from where they used to be. There's no longer a middle class. I'm not just talking about the United States, but Western Europe, many other advanced economies, you're seeing things separate, you've got more and more of the bottom, low income people, I'm assuming that's not what you want to be.
And you've got really high income producers, people who do really well in the modern economy, because they're able to sell their services essentially, on a freelance basis in the world wide economy. That's the whole point of this course is to help you get to that point. Because get look around us the things that are in the middle, the Sears companies of the world, gone, the old middlebrow department stores, they're gone. You're either the Saks or the Tiffany's, or you're the Walmart. Everything else is being squeezed out. You got to decide where you want to be when it comes to your career.
Do you want to be someone who's competing on fiber who lives in a society where they can live on $5 a day do you want to be competing with them? That's gonna be a tough existence. And by the way, I don't mean to sound condescending, because some of you are from countries where the cost of living is obviously a lot lower than what it is in the United States and Western Europe. I'm hoping you get a lot out of this course as well. But I want everyone no matter where you are in the world, if you're in this course to think about how can you position yourself at the high end so you can have the type of income and the living and the respect from your clients that you want and the ability to build your business. Even if your goal was to have no employees, no office, no overhead, he still want to build your freelance business so that every year is better than the last
