Wow, one of the hottest searches on Google currently is “nys unemployment” and all manner of terms relating to it, such as “new york state unemployment” and “nys dept of labor”. Is there any sudden cause or is New York state’s big government approach and insulting attitude toward business owners finally scaring them from the state or at least scaring them from hiring?
NYS unemployment search on Google Trends
For sure, these are crazy times, and New York state is suffering at least as much as most other states. Economists, regardless of their school of thought or political leanings seem to be saying the same thing – that we are experiencing a “jobless recovery” (okay, some say this is a false recovery and we are in another depression). They say that some jobs, especially in manufacturing, are gone forever. Now, anyone who has railroaded their children or themselves into a blue-collar job as your only option in life has always been wrong, but now it may condemn you to permanent or long-term unemployment.
Could it be that we are finally reaching a scary point in history of “The End of Work“? I saw this book on bookstore shelves years ago, and it made me think – will a large percentage of the population eventually have useless skills and capabilities not worth a livable wage to the economy? This would create a dependent class, which would be inevitably supported by those who did have marketable skills and capabilities.
Economic and technological evolution are inevitable, but a government that does not discourage legitimate business activity will minimize the chaos and human suffering of the transition.

 Buy it! |
Just a short pitch on Martin S. Fridson’s How to be a Billionaire: Proven Strategies from the Titans of Wealth
Fridson points out that pure stock market speculation rarely, if ever, produces billionaire-level wealth, and says that those that do make a bundle with appreciated equity usually do so by buying enough shares to influence the company, then influnce it all the way to great success. My own thought is that, whether by insight or trial-and-error, building massive wealth inevitably comes from building massive value. Owning shares in a corporation is just a vehicle, an organization of purchasing, building, and selling that value.
Attaining wealth through building value is no different, in principle, than fixing up a broken-down car and reselling it, or building a house and selling it. The only difference is what you are selling and the scale. Stock shares allow you to sell the whole company you’ve built all at once, sell it partially, or sell small amounts of stock little by little.
Another thing that I would add is that you must want to attain massive wealth to your core, that is, your subconscious. Humans are strange animals and people often say or act as if they want one thing, but actually want something else on a subconscious level. Subconscious priorities like being too insecure or wanting recognition/popularity more than wealth will get in the way of wealth.
Another important factor is people around you. Few have ever achieved anything great and nobody has become a billionaire without the loyal help of great people. There have been success and wealth-building books and programs in recent years talking about the importance of attracting the right kinds of people. Whatever the perspective, surrounding yourself with honest, loyal, supportive, high-integrity, skilled people will be an extremely important factor in your success. Avoid people who are bad for you like the plague. Seek to the ends of the earth for those good people to share in the rewards and glory of your successes they will help create!
There are also great books out there on business leadership, negotiating and all the other skills and factors that are crucial to your success. Think of “How to be a Billionaire” as an outline and launchpad, from where you can study further each individual principle.
Now there are those that pick up this book and expect a step-by-step manual – a very specific plan on how to get rich. These folks miss the whole point, are looking for something that is impossible, and will certainly never get rich with such misunderstandings. That is, it is impossible to suggest a specific line of business to get into, with a specific strategy to win in that industrial sector, that you can print into a book and will, be valid for a long time and for all who read the book. Think about it, things are always changing – technology, the business playing field, government regulations, and culture. What was hot yesterday may already be a conquered industry now. This book, however, outlines general principles that can be applied 3000 years ago in Babylon, now, and probably into any foreseeable future. That’s the best thing you could ask for, and that’s what this book is.
If you are the type who can gain understanding of important principles and concepts, this book could be, at least, enlightening, and perhaps quite useful in your own pursuit of wealth.
