Hey! Mike-the-Pharmacist here.
I want to lay a foundation to see if this would be something you want to invest some time into learning more about. Are you open to prepare before the next storm hits?
My joke is I complimented my boss on his new Lamborghini and he said, “If you work super hard this year, put in a few extra hours, and keep up the good work this year, I will be able to get another one next year.”
My story is we moved into our dream home in Hamburg NY 18 months ago. 17 months ago my growing Independent pharmacy I was working 60 hours a week in suddenly closed.
There are many storms to prepare for. Spiritual storms — are you ready for eternity? It’s a long time to be wrong, so Eternity is a great place to start. Hint- BIBLE means Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. Be prepared. There, that’s my message and if you want to learn more, dig into it and find how you can be ready for that storm.
Health storms – we tend to wait for the heart attack to change our diets. It is hard to eat right. It is also hard to deal with years of eating wrong.
There are storms in our marriages if we don’t put up safe guards and hedges and continue to court our wives and woo and wow them like we did before the wedding. There are storms from within we use to numb the pain instead of bringing it to God and to other people, and if we aren’t willing to see the parasites and have them dealt with they will eat away at everything we are and everything precious in our lives – whether the parasite are drugs, pornography, alcohol, tobacco, gambling, or even work. There are storms in our children if we neglect them for years and then we suddenly recognize they are on a bad path. Storms in our homes hit us harder if we don’t do the maintenance or don’t have an emergency fund. If you are struggling in any area in body, soul, or spirit reach out to someone — or email me below and I can possibly connect you to someone who can help. At the very least I can pray for your situation and maybe share a story of someone who had a similar storm but found the way out.
There are economic storms coming. Things are not going to get better. Malls are closing, retail is in trouble, restaurant chains that were the place to be a few years ago can’t get people in the door today. People still eat out, but the sit downs that don’t constantly keep things fresh and exciting aren’t going to make it and the ones who do are getting exhausted trying to stay in the game.
In the unstable world of healthcare for example, 200 Walgreen’s are set to close next year. and Wal-Mart is cutting pharmacy staff.
Pharmacy chains are merging or closing and many remaining scripts will be snatched away by Amazon’s mail order pharmacies, K-marts are already on the way out, and my children will never become Toys-R-US kids.
From what I can tell, when it comes to financial storm about to hit, there are two (and people think there are 3) options really for us.
1) Keep our head in the sand and hope everything will be fine and that we won’t be part of this economic tsunami.
or
2) Find a plan now and build something that can sustain whatever the economy throws at us.
And the imaginary 3rd option is to wait for the election and wait for the government to make a last minute swoop and save us all.
We would have better luck waiting for the Avengers.
That is why I strongly recommend building a side hustle NOW, and especially find one that provides
Me neither.
That is why I started with a smart, inexpensive investment in a duplicatable part time side project that anyone who is HUNGRY, and has a bit of willingness to have the vision to build a shelter while there is YET no storm on the horizon, can do.
What I found is maybe not as exciting as selling exciting products and potions, but those aren’t recession proof either.
Business wise,
If this is something you are open to learn about, send me an email and let me know what you are looking for — we can then see if what i found is a mutual fit.

We want people hungry to change their lives.
Most people would rather watch Netflix and wait for the government to come swooping down to bail them out. And that’s a disaster in the making all by itself.
