This it! The Whole world is going crazy and you need to prepare yourself to go through incredible tough times for a long time to come! You need to be more tougher than ever to see these troubled times through ( See my previous article \u2018When the going gets Too tough\u2019<\/strong>). The whole wide world is fast becoming a tougher place to live in and you need to wise-up and man-up to keep up the pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my article \u20182019: Time to disrupt the system!\u2019 <\/strong>I warned that there would come a time when the governments of the world won\u2019t be able to care or cater for all their citizens. That time is now! The Covid-19 pandemic<\/a> has shown how clueless our leaders are when it comes to dealing with an international crisis. When this clears up its going to be every man for himself. Already the lockdown we have experienced has shown us how fragile our lives are: if you don\u2019t have, you won\u2019t have! The Rich with their vast resources will see this through whilst the Poor, with nothing, will perish! Mass unemployment that will result from this pandemic as a result of many small businesses going bust and bigger firms making people redundant will mean many people living from pay check to pay check will end up with nothing! Many countries will go deeper into deep depression as their economies won\u2019t be able to cope with the fallout and richer countries will have to dig deeper into their reserves to keep themselves going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether this is a cull of the human race, the forced implementation of the UN Agenda 21 or the emergence of a New World Order we are yet to see. But one thing is for sure, nothing will ever be the same again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With very tough times looming for the individual it means if you can\u2019t swim against the tide you will drown! Life now is going to be the survival of the fittest \u2013 and shrewdest!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ride the storm out you need to take yourself to the next level and to do that you need what I call \u2018PINTS\u2019<\/strong> (N.B \u2013 not pints of beer!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018PINTS\u2019 <\/strong> is my acronyms for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P \u2013 Power.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

IN \u2013 Intelligence.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

T \u2013  Technology.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

S \u2013  Simplicity.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So you\u2019re mentally disciplined and can stay focused and you\u2019re patient and resilient ( from my article \u2018When the going gets too tough\u2019) and now it\u2019s time to condition yourself even further to be the best of the best of the best till you end up being in a league of your own<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now to break down my acronyms \u2018P.I.N.T.S\u2019<\/strong> :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read also: 2021: What\u2019s coming next?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1, POWER <\/strong>can mean any kind of \u2018power\u2019 but for the purpose of this article I\u2019ll narrow it down to physical, mental and spiritual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When push comes to shove if you\u2019re only used to working 9 hours a day you might have to work longer and harder. The human body can take it and you can do it! It\u2019s a simple question of pushing yourself to do more, as required. Working longer days, weeks or even months shouldn\u2019t be a problem but an obstacle to overcome. Or as Tech Giant Elon Musk once famously put it \u2018\u2026nobody ever changed the world [working] on 40 hours a week..\u2019. <\/strong>If you can push yourself to go an extra mile, you can push yourself to go 5 more miles or even more. What does it take to achieve the impossible? You do the impossible! It can be done. You can do it. I\u2019ve done it!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that brings us to the second \u2018power\u2019 \u2013 mental. If the resources are there and you don\u2019t have the will to do it you are finished! A lot of people lack the positive mental attitude to keep going let alone the motivation to push themselves to do more. A lady once told me she couldn\u2019t lose weight because she didn\u2019t have the willpower to stop eating. In replying her I asked her if she would take another bite of food if I put a gun to her head. Her answer was \u2018No\u2019! Don\u2019t wait for somebody to put a gun to your head \u2013 do it yourself! Be more positive and work on your mental abilities developing an \u2018I CAN DO\u2019 attitude because you can do it. You just have to believe more in yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now we move on to \u2018spiritual\u2019 power : a man who has no supreme being he believes in is a man with no hope. Ever since the beginning  of Time mankind has always believed in the existence of one God or another; a spiritual supreme being we can pray to in times of  trouble, uncertainty and calamity. And in return we are granted miracles( \u2013 not the fake miracles concocted by most \u2018pastors\u2019!) to help us when we least expect them. So keep up with the prayers and don\u2019t forget your intuition. By using your intuition a lot more you\u2019ll learn how to tap into a higher state of consciousness that\u2019ll provide new information, an endless supply of new ideas and solutions to existing problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2, INTELLIGENCE <\/strong>\u2013 Only the smartest are going to be the ones who\u2019ll prosper in the coming years. They\u2019ll be the ones who\u2019ll see the new opportunities, the gaps in the market etc. not everyone is born clever so now is the time to align yourself with those who are \u2013 thinkers, innovators, mentors \u2013 and learn to see things differently. Even the late Steven Jobs  wasn\u2019t that clever: he surrounded himself with people more clever and intelligent than himself to make his dream ideas a reality. In our new emerging world contactless cards are going to replace cash, social media video networking will increase and most people are going to be relegated to working from home. Even in times of recession and uncertainty people are making fortunes. They are the smart intelligent ones who can see a brand new opportunity a mile away \u2013 be one of them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3, TECHNOLGY <\/strong>\u2013 if you\u2019re a technophobe and still stuck in the 20th<\/sup> Century its time to get your skills up to date. The future is ONLINE and whether you like it or not, or you are a conspiracy theorist, 5G is coming. I\u2019m not going to go into the dangers of 5G Technology ( because I don\u2019t know of any) but to say that 25 years ago it was rumoured then that if you used the then analogue mobile phone too much you\u2019ll get cancer: a rumour that was debunked at the time. 5G is just a natural progression from the 1G, 2G, 3G and 4G digital technology we\u2019ve been using for the past 20 years. We need new technology to be able to do the things we weren\u2019t able to do 20 or 30 years ago. For those in doubt it\u2019s called \u2018progress\u2019 <\/strong>so it\u2019s time to get your skills up to date \u2013 or be left behind. If you and your business ( any kind of business) are not online you\u2019re screwed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4,SIMPLICITY <\/strong>\u2013 It\u2019s time to keep your life simple and spend less for you never know how soon you are going to need your savings. With all the uncertainty going on you may not have a job next week, next month or even next year and the only thing you\u2019ll have will be your savings. So it\u2019s time to tighten your belts and forget about \u2018keeping up with the Joneses\u2019 . Spend less and save more. Keep it simple: buy what you need and not what you want. The extra cash saved might well save your life when you don\u2019t have an income. A Yoruba man will tell you to leave something on your plate when you eat because if you scoff everything there\u2019ll be no leftovers to eat when you are hungry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So now while the world doesn\u2019t know what  it\u2019s doing its time for you, the individual, to go to Plan B \u2013 a plan designed to see you through the worst of times and you can do this if you take yourself \u2013 and your skills \u2013 to the next level. When this all clears up its going to be a jungle out there and only the smartest will survive or as Albert Einstein once said, \u201c in the middle of difficulty lies opportunity\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And my personal motto for these very difficult times is simply \u201c I came. I saw. I conquered!\u201d. I won\u2019t go quietly into the night !<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat ~ May Fortune favour the Bold!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
