Dan Kennedy’s Depression-Proofing Secret

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the LAST recession.

It was the 2002 fiasco that followed 9/11, and I had just subscribed to Dan Kennedy’s “NO BS Marketing Newsletter” at the time. And in my first issue, I learned something that changed my entire life.

In fact, this particular lesson has been my constant companion. A “friend” that’s guided me through some pretty scary times. And has kept me out of a LOT of trouble.

Anyway, what was the lesson?

The life-or-death importance of having the ability to produce.

The idea is that, if you cultivate your ability to produce, you will never have to worry about money. Never have lasting financial anxieties. And that you will, in fact, be part of a VERY small group who makes things happen — even if you have to drag the rest of the economy along with you to success.

It was (and still is) extremely inspiring to think about it.

And it was then when I really got SERIOUS about learning to sell.

I started writing out ads in my own hand every day — regardless of how boring the task, or how tired I was.

I made it a habit to read and re-read (at LEAST 10 times) high ticket products I bought.
And, even more importantly, I stopped worrying so much.

Because I just KNEW that by developing my ability to produce (in my case, to sell) everything would come out okay in the wash.

Yes, things would be bumpy and I’d have setbacks.

But I knew everything would take care of itself in the end.

And guess what?

Now that we’re hip deep in an even WORSE recession, I got this bug to pass this life-changing lesson on to you.

To reassure you that, no matter how “hairy” things get, if you hone your ability to produce, you have nothing to worry about.

Your ability to produce is the most valuable skill you can have.

The ultimate asset and investment.

Treat it like a proverbial “money tree” — water it, care for it, and let it GROW — and you’ll inoculate yourself (like a vaccine) against all the poop about to hit the fan.

What is guaranteed or extended replacement cost cover?

The problem with insurance is nothing in life is ever completely certain. One day the housing market can be rolling along, everyone certain prices can only ever go up. The next day, we’re pitched into a recession, major banks are in trouble and the housing market has collapsed. Because insurance is based on the concept of good faith, there’s supposed to be give and take on both sides of the relationship. An insurer cannot physically inspect every property it agrees to cover. To some extent, it must always rely on the honesty of the home owner to get proper estimates for the cost of rebuilding. After all, if the owner innocently underinsures, he or she will have to pay the additional costs out of savings. The insurer will not be at risk. If there was fraud, the insurer has the right to cancel the policy and avoid any payment. This protection for the insurer is fairly comprehensive. Hence, to offer better balance, most insurers offer guaranteed or extended replacement cover cover.

The point of this cover is simple. No matter how hard you try, no pre-estimate of the cost of rebuilding is ever absolute. It’s only when you get on the ground and start work you find out what all the problems are going to be. Costs have an unfortunate habit of rising and it’s relatively common for owners to have to sacrifice features of their old home to get the building work finished within budget. But, if you’re prepared to pay about 10% more on the premium rate, you can buy guaranteed cover, i.e. the insurer will pay the actual cost.

Let’s go back to the beginning again. Many insurance policies have a cap, i.e. the insurer places an upper limit on the amount you can claim. This may be a limit for all standard policyholders, or the cap may vary depending on the amount of premium you pay. The only way you can avoid the cap is by buying the extended cover. Why might costs go up significantly more than you expect? Suppose you bought an older home. It was picturesque with a wooden frame and shingles. If you now come to rebuild it, you can find reproducing the traditional building methods are expensive when you face compliance with the current building code. Everything may need to be redesigned including the electrical and plumbing systems. Once you are talking in hundreds of thousands for rebuilding, paying an extra 10% in premium can be very good value to get guaranteed completion.

Stepping outside the scope of the homeowners insurance policy, some insurers are now offering Home Value Protection policies to safeguard against a fall in the resale value of your property. In reality, this is slightly closer to a bet than most insurance policies and you need to read the terms carefully. Most have a high deductible if you claim during the first two years. Since most experts believe the housing market will begin to pick up again within the next two years, you may conclude such policies are not good value for money. Nevertheless, the next time you’re reviewing your insurance portfolio, it may be interesting to get additional quotes for Home Value Protection when you get your homeowners insurance quotes.

Why Did the Chinese President Condemn US Monetary Policy at Davos and the BRIC Conference?

When we start looking at the political posturing around the world, we see world leaders and their advisors making serious mistakes. The President of China made a huge mistake when he condemned the United States of America at the Davos World Economic Forum. Now, it is true that there were many people upset with the Credit Default Swaps, and to the Mortgage Bundles that helped bring down the global economy.

Still, the president of China owes the United States a great sense of gratitude. If it were not for the US middle class consumer, China could not have experienced the 10% GDP growth year-over-year that they have for the last two decades. In fact, China would not have the third of fourth largest GDP of any nation on this planet if it weren’t for the United States buying all of their exports.

With the United States in recession, China has noted that their exports have fallen over 35% by their estimates, although global economic analysts, and even the factors considered when reporting the Baltic index show it to be more like 50%.

Meanwhile, China has claimed that they have achieved 7 to 8% growth in 2009; that simply isn’t so, they are making up numbers, but since they own the media, they can control what is said.

But you can’t fool all the investors all of the time, and a 25% hit in the Shanghai index shows a completely different story.

Did the Chinese president shoot himself in the foot by condemning US monetary policy at both the Davos World Economic Forum and the BRIC Conference? If you will recall at the Brazil-Russia-India-China meeting, the Chinese president stood with the leaders of those other nations and suggested that perhaps, we need a different global currency than the US dollar.

That is completely outrageous, as if the Russian Ruble, or the Chinese Yuan could be a replacement currency, and even if they knew currency was created, who in the WTO would trust using it, not me.

If China is upset with US monetary policy, then perhaps China should change some of its policies for free trade, and the way it float currency.

China has taken advantage of the United States trading policies and caused problems for their greatest trading partner. If anyone is to be blamed for what has happened, it really would be China. If the Chinese do not stop talking trash about the United States, then the US consumer will turn on China and boycott all of their products.

Nothing could be worse for the future of China that, because if those peasants don’t get some work soon they are going to starve, then they will riot, and then they will overthrow the government of China. Historically that’s what happens, and just because we live in the 21st century does not mean it cannot happen today.

The United States and China are friends, and the Chinese government needs to start acting as if it is a friend. That is if they want to continue their GDP growth and ever reach Super World Power Status. Please consider all this. Not long ago, I mentioned this to Guang Wu, the author of a new book; “China: Has the Last Opportunity Passed by!?” and he said there are many challenges that lie ahead for their great nation, and nothing was set in stone, and all issues should be discussed.

Finding auto insurance when you rent a vehicle

If you were building a time machine, you need only find a way of travelling back two years to find a land of plenty. Remembering how good it was almost brings tears to your eyes. Every week a bank, credit card company or finance company would mail you their latest offers. Cheap overdrafts, reduced interest with expanding credit limits or yet another way of converting that positive housing equity into cash for spending. There seemed no possibility of this coming to an end. Yet suddenly the price of gas was up to $4 and more a gallon. That proved just a passing straw in the wind. A month or so later came the bank failures, the credit crunch and a full recession with major problems of unemployment. Comfortable lives disappeared. Family budgets suddenly had to pay for debt reduction. Everyone was looking for ways to save money.

Lives must go on but the problem was how to stay mobile. During the good times, towns and cities had exploded. Gone where the high density housing developments close to workplaces. In their place came suburbs and then exurbs. People were organizing their lives around private transport and expecting to commute further and further to get anything done. What do you do when you find you cannot afford to replace your current vehicles but live too far away from work, schools and convenient shops? There is no private transport so, as a first response, you are looking at constantly patching up your old vehicles to keep them moving. But small repairs become major repairs, particularly if your mileage is high or you get into a traffic accident. You look around the neighborhood for carpools. This can work for routine journeys, but it ties you to other people’s timetables. That leaves renting.

If you decide to drive other people around and take payment, you need to check whether your existing policy covers you. The majority of insurers believe taking money makes you a taxi business and they want a higher premium. As with all insurance, use the online search engines to find affordable cover. But, in some parts of the US, it’s now economic to give up ownership. There are new rental systems allowing you to take a vehicle from a local pick-up point as and when you need it. Booking online, you only pay for the vehicle for the hours you use it. Economists have calculated the average yearly spend on car ownership is about $8,000. The average hourly rental rate is $15. That’s 533 hours a year in a rental car before you pay more than an owner. But here comes the warning. The rental car always comes with cheap auto insurance, but the companies are only interested in protecting their capital. You are usually asked to pay more to top up on cover against medical expenses for your own injuries. But even with this extra premium, it’s often significantly cheaper to rent as needed. Even better, you do not pick up from local offices where sales agents pitch extra options. Pick-ups and drop-offs are in local garages with no formalities. Check out what services are on offer in your area. If the cheap auto insurance terms are right, you will save to go down this road.
