Were you part of the buzzing excitement for The Elevation Group’s launch last 2 weeks?
Mike Dillard has done it again!
If you were with the rest of us last week, highly anticipating the 90-minute video of what has become a prelude to something great, then you will know what I am gushing about!
If, for some reason, you weren’t part of it, fret not! I hope this post of mine will titillate you enough into knowing more about The Elevation Group. At the close of 2010 and on the brink of 2011, we should really arm ourselves with something like this in order to wish ourselves a “Prosperous New Year” and actually believe it!
Let’s start with this fact.
“Wealth is never destroyed; it’s just transferred from one person to another.”
Coping with what seemed to be an insurmountable financial crisis since 2007, all of us are feeling the hard times. We ask ourselves:
Is There A Way Out From This Financial Rut That We Are In Right Now?
The unemployment rate has gone up and money is just so hard to come by.
Is there something we can do?
Well, at this point, it all depends on you.
A resounding YES is of course the better answer. And we have two paradigms that we will be discussing in arriving at an answer:
First – Understanding the past is the key to predicting the future which is the key to incredible wealth
Second -Human nature is a better predictor of the future
Mike extensively outlined the economic and financial patterns of the US and the rest of the world from a timeline spanning the Great Depression to the present and it was one of his ways to see the similarities that happened in the past that are happening once again and check whether we have learned our lessons or not.
They say that history is the greatest teacher but, is it really? What did we do then given the situation before that made us confident that we are actually properly approaching the issue of an impending hyperinflation in the current times? Or, is what’s happening now a repercussion of our wrong decisions in the past?
Food For Thought.
On the other hand, Mike cited that the better predictor of our future is actually our human nature. He emphasized that it is our decisions, patterns of behavior, and our inherent nature to avoid pain and actually pursue pleasure that will serve as a better predictor of where we are going to be henceforth.
Now, this one is mind-boggling, to say the least, and leaves room for more thinking, isn’t it?
Which is why I am leaving you with these thoughts to ponder as we discuss more about The Elevation Group in my next post.
Which Do You Think Is The Better Predictor Of The Future:
Understanding the Past or Human Nature?

Well, I’d say that history is a good teacher because if we made some mistakes in the past, we could actually learn from it and vow not to make the same mistakes again. But I just wonder: who are the major players making the decisions for all of us?
