Are you starting to feel anxious about your economy and the future of your business? We’re sorry to say this but the shit show is just getting started. COVID-19 and its repercussions on health, society, and the global economy are just a fraction of the problems ahead. We saw it coming and it is finally here, the cycle couldn’t be stretched any longer, welcome to the start of 80 years of hard times. 

In the middle of the chaos, this episode is special. Gary Hibbert is a full-time real estate investor and entrepreneur who has helped hundreds of clients through strategic plans and public speaking. Today, Gary will be taking the lead in a non-filtered conversation with Stefan Aarnio about the uncertain future of small businesses, the value of money throughout history, and the long term impacts of the current health crisis. Spoiler alert: if you didn’t get rich back in the 90s you are basically screwed. As the side effects of the 20 mg tablet were annoying for me (headaches and muscular pains), I had the idea of asking my pharmacist if there were lower dosages available. Since then, I have been using Cialis 5 mg, which I take as follows: one in the evening, another the next morning, then one in the next evening and another one the next morning and so on. The effect is sufficient for me from the 2nd one and satisfactory from the 3rd one, with the 4th pill serving to maintain the effect if necessary. As everyone reacts differently, it’s probably useful to adapt the rhythm of the doses, but for me it’s the right formula and it’s possible to continue to take one a day if necessary.

We are now entering the beginning and overlapping of not only one but two important historical cycles. Aarnio has been mentioning both in his books and his podcast for ages now, so you can’t say you weren’t warned. Possible wars, currencies collapsing and a threatening global bankruptcy is around the corner. Stefan has crucial advice for you if you don’t want to be a part of the millions of businesses harshly affected by the COVID-19, but you have to take action today. Listen now to build an effective business strategy to overcome the unavoidable aftermath of the lockdown and collective hysteria. The weak culture era is officially over, are you willing to take the bull by the horns and rise as a strong man?
