Every time my parents mentioned the “good ‘ol days” I felt their nostalgia. They could speak so convincingly of the “goodness” of the old days that I wished I was there. They heard the same from their parents. And I heard it from their parents as well.
After a conversation with my parents about the good ‘ol days, I would be wishing I had grown up in the age of Chevy “Hot Rods” and poodle skirts. After a conversation with grandpa about the good ‘ol days, I would swear that I was born in the wrong generation. Simple living, simple farming and a whole lot of fishin’ in the crik would have been the right life.
I often thought that those really would have been the good ‘ol days when you could get Ford or McDonald’s stock for just a few bucks a share, if they had just bought some. If they had only knew the opportunity.
They really were living in the good ‘ol days but they didn’t even know it then.
And therein lies my point.
For us, THESE are the “good ‘ol days.” The days that we’ll be talking about forty years from now.
These are the good ‘ol days. Consider it. These are the days that are:
- The transition era between the Industrial Age and the Information Age
- The days when the internet is so young that the Everyman can leverage it to dominate markets he finds, or even creates, himself
- The narrow strip of time when we can break free from locations and live anywhere for the first time without sacrificing income
- The days where there is an explosion of untapped markets literally around the world that can be reached for the first time through the click of a mouse
- All of the above, while we work our passion through a portable device as small as a composition notebook
- The days when gas was only $4 per gallon.
Don’t miss the good ‘ol days. You just might be in them.
