learning from history

Knowledge IS Power

There’s a reason
Fascists are banning books
and trying to close
libraries.

Knowledge IS power.

The more you know
the more powerful you are.

This is especially true
in business.

And there is SO much
to know
– contract law,
tax rules,
the latest social media tactics,
the hot colors for 2025
and much, much more.

Read a 1 page summary
while sitting on the toilet.
Listen to a 10 minute podcast
while driving to an appointment.
Take a workshop.
Talk to an expert.

Learn something new
today
and every day.

Absorb that power.

History DOES Repeat

We, humans, do
the same sh*t over and over.

The path the US is on
right now,
for example?
It has been taken
hundreds of times
at least.

We can predict
what happens next.

Predicting what happens next
WILL benefit
ourselves
and our growing businesses.
Knowing the next steps
allows us to prepare,
to survive,
to prosper.

Learn history.
Because it DOES repeat
and you SHOULD
be prepared.

Don’t be surprised
by predictable events.

Learning History And Gaining Power

There’s a reason
certain leaders
don’t want people,
including kids,
learning the truth about history.

That’s because
it contains truths
about these leaders
and other people today.

For example,
there’s a ‘story’
floating around
that female empowerment
has stopped men
from protecting women.

If you’ve studied history,
you know
the average man
has never protected women.

When, for example,
a widow’s financial wellbeing
was placed
in the control of a man,
the widow 99% of the time
ended up
in absolute poverty.

By stopping women
from learning those facts,
they’re more likely to accept
the we-need-a-man-to-protect-us
bullsh*t.

And these men can then abuse women
financially and in other ways.

Learn history.
Teach others history.
Increase your odds
of success in life.

Learn From History

Some States
in the US
are banning
No-Fault Divorces.

They want to stop
women from fleeing
abusive relationships.

History tells us,
that when No-Fault Divorces
became legal,
the unnatural death rates
for men dropped sharply.

If No-Fault Divorces
are banned,
the only way out
of an abusive marriage
will be death.

Thanks to the internet,
that is easy to arrange.

And thanks to the pandemic
and the already high death rates,
that ‘solution’,
if it looks like a heart attack,
will be easy
to hide.

Right now,
you’re likely considering
taking a step
for your business
that has been taken
by other businesses
in the past.

Research those cases.
Learn from history.
Don’t kill your business
because you failed
to complete a Google search.

Studying History

Winston Churchill once said
“Those that fail
to learn from history
are doomed to repeat it.”

But those of us
who have studied history
know
the majority of people
DON’T learn from history.
And we ALL repeat it.

What learning from history
does
is allow us to see the signs
of an upcoming situation
and
then take action
to avoid it
personally.
Perhaps, if we have
the impact,
we can ensure
EVERYONE avoids it.

We know,
for example,
that book banning
is one step closer
to having a dictatorship.

We know
how dictators function
and how a country would look
under a dictatorship.
(Living under a dictatorship
is NOT good
for business building.
At all.)

We can take action
to stop this from happening
and we can prepare
for the possibility
we won’t be able to stop it.

Study history
because we WILL repeat it
and the knowledge
could save your life.
