The U.S. Economy Is Healthy... And Likely To Stay That Way.
In spite of all the hype about Y2K disasters and End-Of-The-World scenarios, the indicators we all use to measure our economy's health give an optimistic reading for 2000 and beyond. The truth is, deep inside us, we Americans want to succeed. Even the panic mongers who plan to stockpile food and supplies are helping fuel our economy in to the new millennium.
The digital age has brought upon us a continuous stream of opportunities that you can use to achieve your financial goals - whether through conventional employment, business ownership, investing, or any combination thereof.
Whatever is your outlook of the new millennium, is exactly what you'll get. Although some people believe the year 2000 means the end of the world, to the rest of us, the new millennium means the "dawning" of a New Age. In fact, a lot of people see Y2K as an invitation to the world's biggest party, a time to go crazy and forget all your worries.
January 1, 2009 is more than just a date. It's a turning point in a lifetime. It is also a powerful symbol, a special marker in time. To some people, it can mean GOOD things; to others it can be BAD. But, more importantly, what does it mean to you?
WHY THE SYMBOL "Y2K" ...
The letter " Y " stands for the "Year". The " 2K " stands for 2000, where the letter K stands for "kilo" or "thousand".
HOW OTHERS FEEL ABOUT IT...
To others, the start of the new year is a time for reflection; some believe the year 2000 is the end of the world. Yet, most of us belive the new millennium means it's the "dawning" of a New Age. And maybe a reson to party. To some people who are oblivious to current events, the year 2000 is just a number, an insignificant event that has no intrinsic meaning - just an arbitrary marker in time.
Y2K AND OUR LIVES
For many centuries, the marker "Year 2000" has inspired a lot of people to interpret its significance in history and how it affects our place in the universe. The year 2000 is being treated as some sort of a deadline by which some people make predictions about the human race and the way we live.
Y2K AND YOUR BUSINESS
From a business standpoint, numerous amounts of predictions have been made about the year 2000 than any other year in history. What's quite strange is that it doesn't seem as though people have thought too far past it. But - whether we like it or not - we're there!
Y2K is here. And - regardless of how you make your living - the changes that will come with this New Millennium are going to have an impact on your life. You have some clear cut choices on how to handle this event : ( 1 ) You can dive into negative hype and get panicky about it, or ( 2 ) You can use it as a catalyst to position yourself and your business strategically, or ( 3 ) You can try to ignore the whole thing as if it isn't there.
