Reinventing The American Dream

How to succeed when you aren't good at anything.       December 15, 2013           Reinventing The American Dream ‏ Dear Daily Reckoning Reader, As a small child in America, you were sold a truckload of lies. Santa… The Easter Bunny… The Tooth-Fairy… And, the biggest lie of them all… The "American Dream". Heh… well, they got the "dream" part right, at least. They told you it was simple: Discover what you're best at, work hard… and then wade in a rich ocean of gold and happiness for the rest of your life. Let's face it. Some are born with world-class skills. And some are just born. So how do you prosper if you're not great at anything straight out of the gate? Well, that's where my generous colleague has offered to help. He wants your permission to mail you something for the holidays, absolutely free. Click here to see what he has in mind. It makes a fantastic stocking stuffer. In fact, I plan on passing out a few to my family this Christmas. Help yourself, your family and your friends. 'Tis the season. As you probably learned the hard way many years ago, Santa sure as hell isn't going to do it.
