This year we have learned that political rhetoric comes in multiple genders and races. However, it’s still rhetoric regardless of the source.

This month we have (re)learned that politicians think that they can save a free market economy. I enjoy politics, I read the papers, watch the debates and I what I’ve learned is that they are pretty much saying the same thing, regardless of what side of the aisle they sit on. Unfortunately I don’t know if any of them have the answer(s).

Let me conclude quickly, empowering the government has more repercussions than positives. 
This solution: empower yourself! 
I have strong social network of hand picked individuals who are not only friends, they are also my mentors, life coaches if you will.

Examples:
I am a novice graphic designer but I work at it and when I need guidance I call Bobby, he walks me through it slowly and in the end I am more educated in the area of graphic design.
My running partner is faster than I am, that’s by design. 
In college my study partners have a stronger grasp of the material than I do, that’s by design too.

My Point: Our Government’s decisions won’t save YOU, but YOUR decisions can. 

There has been a shift in finances at a global level. This is a result of businesses transcending the boundaries of one county; the world is and will continue to flatten. It is easier to improve the financial situation of an individual, than to improve the financial situation of a country. One of the many reasons I love e-commerce is that from your basement in Rochester you can sell something to someone in Dubai.

Will government intervention improve the economy? Maybe, maybe not…. 


Will international e-commerce improve your business? Yes.
