Amazon Go is here

and the “writing on the wall” is:

prepare for the inevitable.

The inevitable?

Technology will replace a ton of jobs … maybe even yours.

Amazon has just announced that it is developing a line of grocery stores that will allow you to shop and leave without ever standing in line to check out.

Now, at first glance, most everyone will say “Whew! That’s fantastic!” because we all hate standing in line to check out.

Have you used self-checkouts at Wal-Mart and grocery stores? That was just the first step towards automation of the shopping experience. But now, Amazon Go has stepped across the threshold of a new frontier by eliminating the need for any check outs, any registers, any cashiers. You will just place items n your cart as you shop and then walk out the door.

Amazon will definitely impact the grocery store business with this “Just Walk Out” technology.

In this article from the New York Post “Amazon Introduces Next Major Job Killer to Face Americans, we read:

The company wants to open more than 2,000 brick-and-mortar grocery stores, compared with about 2,800 operated by The Kroger Co., now the nation’s largest full-service grocery retailer. Britt Beamer, president of America’s Research Group, a consumer-behavior research and consulting firm, estimated that Amazon’s cutting-edge technology had the potential to wipe out 75 percent of typical grocery-store staff.

No matter what you think about Amazon Go, it’s here, it’s coming to your area and whether you choose to adapt won’t affect the momentum and the changes that technology is bringing to all areas of our lives.

It’s the 4th Industrial Revolution and it’s happening NOW!

Here’s what Forbes recently reported about the 4th Industrial Revolution:

The first Industrial Revolution was about harnessing steam power so that muscle could be replaced by machines. The second was driven by electricity and a cluster of inventions from the late 19^th century onwards – including the internal combustion engine, the aeroplane and moving pictures. A third revolution began in the 1960s and was based on digital technology, personal computing and the development of the internet. Industrial Revolution 4.0 will be shaped by a fresh wave of innovation in areas such as driverless cars, smart robotics, materials that are lighter and tougher, and a manufacturing process built around 3D printing.

For example, as automation increases, computers and machines will replace workers across a vast spectrum of industries, from drivers to accountants and estate agents to insurance agents. By one estimate, as many as 47 percent of U.S. jobs are at risk from automation.

Professor Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, author of The Fourth Industrial Revolution writes:

In this fourth revolution, we are facing a range of new technologies that combine the physical, digital and biological worlds. These new technologies will impact all disciplines, economies and industries, and even challenge our ideas about what it means to be human.

Schwab said, “The changes are so profound that, from the perspective of human history, there has never been a time of greater promise or potential peril.”

Amazon’s announcement of Amazon Go is a wake-up call to you –

IF you are concerned about job security and your future (and everyone should be.)

And if you haven’t considered creating your own economy, i.e., building your own business … it’s time.

The lure and enticement of being your own boss is the freedom.

freedom from working for someone else,
freedom from being evaluated and rewarded/punished as a result,
freedom from having to ask permission to take time off to attend your kid’s soccer game, recital, school program, etc.
freedom from having to weigh whether you should stay home when you’re sick or go in and work so you don’t get docked.

Everyone wants freedom.

Not everyone is willing to do what it takes to gain freedom. Not everyone will see the writing on the wall. In fact, most people are actually afraid of being free. It’s unfamiliar territory. There are no guarantees. Thus, most people settle back into their comfort zone, deciding life is just going to be like it always has been.

Seth Godin, in his new book “What To Do When It’s Your Turn” writes:

There are three problems with freedom. Things don’t always turn out precisely the way we hope; resolution takes too long; and we might fail. And so, when it’s our turn, we take a pass. It’s far more reliable to stay where we are than it is to leap, to jump to a new place different from the one we’re in.

Everything you do in life has a risk or a reward.

Deciding to have kids is a huge risk, wouldn’t you agree? You risk your health, you risk giving up your free time and sleeping in, you risk losing friends who don’t have children and therefore have nothing in common with you any longer.

And, there are no guarantees you’ll give birth to a perfectly healthy baby, no guarantees you’ll always know the right thing to do, no guarantees that your children will grow up to be well rounded, stable adults.

But the rewards of parenting far outweigh any of the risks. Ask any parent.

Deciding to build your own business to create your freedom is a risk. You risk failing at it several times; you risk money you need to invest in your business; you risk losing your stance among friends and family who now think you’re crazy for giving up such a good job to work from home.

You are not guaranteed success and you WILL have to work at this, you WILL have to learn and apply what you learn (unless you foolishly listen to the push-button-easy, get-rich-overnight hype that many use to attract you to their opportunity.)

You are not guaranteed success. But, I can guarantee you this … you’ll never know what you can do, until you start.
You’ll remain stuck where you are, depending on the good graces of a boss to keep you employed … until technology replaces you anyway.

And the reward of building your own business, of working from home?

The reward comes from making a decision for YOU.
Deciding that for once, you’re going to do something for yourself,
for your family … that no one can take away from you.

Not a boss. Not technology. No one. No thing. Nothing.

What will you do?

Will you see the writing on the wall?

Will you decide that it’s time to learn new skills so that you can create your own income?

Or will you decide to just let things happen as they may and deal with a job loss when it happens?

Amazon Go is just the beginning turn towards job losses due to automation.

A report from the World Economic Forum states:

Across the countries covered by the Report, current trends could lead to a net employment impact of more than 5.1 million jobs lost to disruptive labour market changes over the period 2015–2020, with a total loss of 7.1 million jobs—two thirds of which are concentrated in routine white collar office functions, such as Office and Administrative roles.

What will you do to protect your future? What will you do to create your freedom?

The jobs of the future will require new skills in Computer and Mathematical and Architecture and Engineering related fields, as reported by the World Economic Forum.

That’s great if you’re young, still in high school or your early twenties. There’s a wide world of opportunity available to those who have not spent their entire lives working for a company that could at anytime automate and eliminate most of its work force.

But, if you’re not young, if you’ve been working for years and years, hoping to make it to retirement with a substantial savings or retirement fund to finally enjoy life, it’s a whole different scenario. Rather than trying to be re-educated (at a great expense and time factor,) you can decide to take control of things and start on the path to your freedom, your future.

You’re going to need to re-educate yourself no matter what. Instead of spending thousands going back to college to get a degree that will prepare you for this new age of technology, why not use technology available now to get the education you need to start your own business.

Yes, I said start your own business.

Is it scary to do this?

Yes, because as I already said, no one can guarantee your success.

Is it wise to do this?

Oh hell yes! For so many reasons, but most of all because it puts you in control
instead of keeping you under the thumb of the higher ups
who make decisions based on numbers, not people.

Is it something anyone or any age can do?

Absolutely! When you have the right tools, you can get started
from where you are right now, learning the skills
that will build your business, build your presence online
and create your own economy, free from any worries of a pink slip

The Naked Hippies have always been about creating freedom, for ourselves and for others. We teach and share what we do to fund our freedom, knowing with full confidence that anyone who thirsts for their freedom will be able to follow the steps and the training to get going and get growing their business NOW.

We don’t wait for technology to catch us unaware, we use technology to live on the road, in our camper, fulltime.

The training we have available will train anyone, whether a newbie to this industry, or a seasoned veteran …
it will take you step by step, all without having to figure anything out or doing anything crazy, complicated or technical.

So now, it’s time for you to decide.

Either stay where you are, working the 9-5, worrying about that damn pink slip, or jump on board with the Naked Hippies to start on your roadtrip to freedom.

Your choice. Your decision.

I’ll see you on the inside … after you click the button below.

If You Think You Have Job Security … Think Again!

On January 6, 2016June 4, 2016 By Trisha BarnesIn Middle Class Revolution, Quit Your Job, Work From AnywhereLeave a comment

Now, more than ever it’s vital to your future to quit your job and become your own boss.

It’s inevitable … technology is eliminating job security.

So much has changed in the last thirty years and it’s changing at a more rapid pace as technology replaces the human services we once relied on.

Look around …

We now scan our own items at self-checkouts;

we use ATMS for banking transactions;

we pump our own gas;

we pay bills online rather than use the postal service;

we call TeleDoc for a diagnosis and prescription;

we buy airline tickets, reserve hotel rooms and rent cars online.

The list goes on and on. The services that used to be performed by humans are no longer needed.

Technology, outsourcing, a growing temp staffing industry, productivity efficiencies, have all replaced the middle class.The working class. Most jobs that existed 20 years ago aren’t needed now. [Source}

W. Brian Arthur, a visiting researcher at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center’s intelligence systems lab and a former economics professor at Stanford University, calls it the “autonomous economy.” It’s far more subtle than the idea of robots and automation doing human jobs, he says: it involves “digital processes talking to other digital processes and creating new processes,” enabling us to do many things with fewer people and making yet other human jobs obsolete. [Source}

“Software substitution, whether it’s for drivers or waiters or nurses … it’s progressing. … Technology over time will reduce demand for jobs, particularly at the lower end of skill set. – Bill Gates [Source]

One recent study by academics at Oxford University suggests that 47% of today’s jobs could be automated in the next two decades. [Source]

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

Become an entrepreneur. Be your own boss. Take control.

Everyone is an entrepreneur. The only skills you need to be an entrepreneur: an ability to fail, an ability to have ideas, to sell those ideas, to execute on those ideas, and to be persistent so even as you fail you learn and move onto the next adventure.
– James Altucher

WHERE DO YOU START?

1. Make the decision to create your own job security by using technology for your gain – become an internet marketer.

2. Realize you will need to invest time and money to launch your new career.

3. Avoid the “easy money” opportunities that will flood your search. It’s not easy, it takes work and commitment and perseverance. Not easy, but so worth it.

4. Never stop learning. Learn from leaders, learn from your experiences, learn from those who are doing what you are doing.

5. Have a support system in place of people who will guide you, train you and most of all be there to help you navigate through this journey.

6. Grow yourself personally. Being successful in building your own job security is an inner game; it’s about the person you have to become in character and mind in order to be successful.

7. Be patient and steadfast. This is not a lottery ticket, this is the rest of your life. Every decision you make to act in spite of fear, or worry, or doubt, or inconvenience or even when you’re not in the mood will push you faster towards your success.

If you are still reading this, it means what I’ve shared has triggered a “knowing” within you that something has to change in your life. You see the writing on the wall. Good for you!

Here’s to your freedom … you job security … the best of your life.

Oh, and by the way …

We took that big step nine years ago. It was exciting and scary.

Now, we are living our dream and teaching as many people as possible how to create their own cash flow online so they can build real freedom and job security for themselves and their families.

If you are ready to begin to create something purposeful and something that could change the landscape of your family forever…

let me introduce you to what we do … that anyone can learn … to create the financial stability and job security you desire. Click the banner below.

Ten Reasons Why You Have to Quit Your Job This Year

Excuses are the #1 Dream Hack

On March 12, 2015June 6, 2016 By Trisha BarnesIn Coaching, Quit Your Job, Work From AnywhereLeave a comment

Excuses are the #1 dream hack…not time or money or anything else you think.

But, they sound so legitimate don’t they, especially when YOU say them.

“I don’t have enough money” to get started in this business opportunity that will help me change my circumstances and break free from this financial struggle.

“I don’t have enough time” to work on this business.

Here’s the plain and simple truth … it’s not the time and money that is missing here. It’s lack of desire.

Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything. -Napoleon Hill

As long as you keep making excuses, you fall into the trap of the #1 dream hack.

And really, no amount of trying to convince you will change your perception.

He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else. – Benjamin Franklin

If you have been in the habit of making excuses instead of finding solutions, here is a simple way to change your thought process.

Instead of making excuses, do this instead. Ask “how can I?”

How can I find the money to invest in this opportunity?

How can I find the time to work on this business?

How can I learn the skills that I don’t know yet?

How can I find people to talk to about this opportunity?

It’s a simple question that provides amazing answers, once you open your awareness to the people, tools and resources that will become available to you.

The solutions that you seek are already available.

The people that will help you are waiting.

Excuses are the #1 dream hack and it’s up to you to deleted them from your thinking.

As long as you keep making excuses, you will stay stuck right where you are in life.

Excuses are monuments of nothingness. They build bridges to nowhere. Those who use these tools of incompetence, seldom become anything but nothing at all. Author unknown

When Bruce and I first started building our online business, The Naked Hippies Roadtrip …

We could have talked ourselves right out of the dream we are now living. I mean, good grief – we were not young’uns anymore.

We could have allowed the excuses to become the #1 dream hack and continued on living the “normal” kind of life.

Instead, we asked “how can we?”

We knew enough about the internet to get around, but nothing about marketing, nothing about SEO, and auto responders and capture pages and video marketing.

I was still working at the 8-5 so I had to make time before and after work to “work” on our business.

We found ways to invest in opportunities that provided training and support. (sometimes, it mean giving up date nights, or eating
peanut butter and crackers for a while.)

We surrounded ourselves with others who were doing what we were doing so help and inspiration and motivation were available 24/7.

We began to earn as we learned.

We learned that as long as we kept seeking solutions and people to help us grow, we were moving closer to our dream.

Our dream became real on November 14, 2013 when we pulled up stakes and took off to live on the never-ending roadtrip in our pickup camper.

Who were we to dare to go after our dreams?

We were just like anybody else who finally says, enough is enough… let’s just DO IT!

If we can do this, you definitely can, too.

From this moment on, no more excuses.

It’s YOUR time.

What’s your dream?

On March 6, 2015June 6, 2016 By Trisha BarnesIn Quit Your Job, Work From AnywhereLeave a comment

Can you imagine what stress free living would feel like?

Most people are running their life on overload.

Working 40, 50, 60 hours per week…

Up at o-dark thirty …

Driving the daily commute …

Dragging into work with all the other grumblers …

Watching the hours on the clock …

Asking permission to take off early for your kid’s school party …

Getting notice there won’t be a raise this year …

Planning how you’ll spend your vacation getting caught up on all those projects you never have time to finish …

Promising your kids you’ll try to get home earlier …

Dreading that call to your boss because your kid is sick again …

Sick and tired of being sick and tired … of everything.

I remember those times, those feelings … the stress, the exhaustion.

I also remember the way it felt to know I had chosen freedom over the 8-5 rat race:

That video was made July, 2013 – nearly two years ago.

Listen, it was scary. It was a huge leap of faith to take.

But, I knew for sure that if I didn’t take that step, the stress would take its toil on me.

I reached for freedom.

Freedom grabbed hold of me and never let go.

I found the way…found the right people, the right system, the right place to begin.

Now, we help those who are ready to reach for their freedom, too.

Don’t wait to take that step.

Do it for your family.
Do it for your health and well being.
Do it for YOU.

The life you want also wants you.

8 Signs That You Are Ready to BE Your Own Boss

On December 31, 2014June 17, 2016 By Trisha BarnesIn Coaching, Work From AnywhereLeave a comment

Do you ever wonder if you were truly meant to be your own boss and work from home?

Most people think about it – a lot, actually.

They wonder if they could really do what they see others doing …

It’s on your mind pretty much 24/7 …

every time the alarm clock jolts you awake at 5 am…
every time you take a seat in your cubicle that is decorated with pictures and plants and things to make your 8-5 world seem happy and pleasant and fun …
every time you have the annual “talk” with your boss and hear the words “you’re doing a great job, but we can’t promote you OR we can’t afford a pay raise this year” …
every time your kids ask if you can come to Play Day at school and you have to tell them no because you already know your boss will tell you “sorry, we need you here” …
every time the school calls and says your child has a fever – and you have to ask permission to leave work to go take care of the most precious being in the world …

You think … there’s got to be more for me and my family than this.

Yeah, it’s constantly on your mind.

So you wonder … could I really take ownership of my life and change the direction I am going?

Could I do this?

Could I become my own boss and work from home?

If you are reading this to find out if you are really cut out for this path, the seed has already been planted.

The list that follows will help you see and understand that you’re not crazy for thinking differently.

It’s why you are ALWAYS thinking about the possibility.

It’s a wake up call, a whisper, a pull from the greatness within you, guiding you to break free and live life on your own terms.

—>>>8 Signs That You Are Ready to BE Your Own Boss<<<—

1. YOU HAVE DREAMS

You dream for something better, something more in your life than what you have right now – not only for yourself, but for your family and friends and really, for anyone who dreams of changing their circumstances and living a life of freedom.

You fall asleep at night thinking about it, you wake up every morning with the dream percolating in your heart and mind. It’s always there, following you around like your shadow. It won’t let go of you, it will not be silent.

The vision that you glorify in your mind,
the ideal that you enthrone in your heart –
this you will build your life by,
and this you will become.
-James Allen

2. YOU HAVE A BURNING DESIRE

You have an insatiable, burning desire to take control of your life. You are sick and tired of the struggle to make ends meet, of living paycheck to paycheck, of staying in the rut and depending on a boss or the government to keep you barely afloat.

This burning desire is a catapult to launch you on this different path where you choose the hours you work, you choose where you live, you choose to be your own boss. You control the outcome.

A burning desire to BE and to DO
is the starting point from which
a dreamer must take off.
–Napoleon Hill

3. YOU ARE INSPIRED TO SERVE

You are inspired to change your life and the life of others. You can clearly see how your success will be like placing stepping stones for others to follow.

You realize that as you inspire and help others to break free, you are able to be, do and have more in life.

You can have everything in life you want,
if you will just help other people
get what they want.
-Zig Ziglar

4. YOU HAVE DOUBTS

Yes, even doubt can be a sign that you were meant to be your own boss.

Whenever you decide to make a change in your life, when you decide that the old self-limiting beliefs that have held you back need to be tossed out, your subconscious will begin to filter in all kinds of thoughts of doubt to try to keep you in the holding pattern that is familiar and safe.

When you experience doubt, recognize it as the battle you are fighting to change your life. Your shield is determination, your sword is belief. You are a freedom warrior, engaged in the battle to be free, to set others free.

If you think you can or you can’t,
you are right.
–Henry Ford

5. YOU LOVE TO LEARN

You thirst for knowledge, to study and learn from the masters, from other leaders. You are aware of the immense value of knowledge available to help you each step of the way.

You read books that teach and guide … books on mindset and personal development, books on marketing, biographies and auto biographies.

You value the opportunities to listen to audios, watch webinars, go to live events. You know that the key to success is to always be learning more.

The more that you read,
the more things you will know.
The more that you learn,
the more places you’ll go.
― Dr. Seuss

6. YOU ADMIRE LEADERS

You admire and respect the leaders in the work from home industry. Their stories of struggle from poverty to riches fill you with hope and assurance that if they can do it, there’s no reason you can’t do it as well.

They are your models – the ones who have a lifestyle you desire. You surround yourself with these kind of people who will inspire and educate and guide and support you.

If you want to be successful,
find someone who has achieved the results
you want and copy what they do and
you’ll achieve the same results.
Tony Robbins

7. YOU FEEL UNFINISHED

You feel as if you don’t make this change to be your own boss, something is lacking in your life.

You need to do this in order to unleash the amazing person inside of you. You are not content with standing on the sideline any longer. You are ready to get in the game, to be all in, to play with all your heart and soul and mind and strength.

Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
― Mary Oliver

8. YOU HAVE RESOLVE

You have a strong resolve to do whatever it takes to break free and take control of your life.

This means you don’t care if others think you are out of your mind, or if others try to dissuade you with their stories of failure.

It means you will continue on, step by step, over hurdles, through obstacles, around boulders because your decision to break free has more power than anything that will be thrown at you.

If you have a dream, don’t just sit there.
Gather courage to believe that you can succeed
and leave no stone unturned to make it a reality.
― Roopleen

This list isn’t one to check off one by one to see how many you possess.

It’s to give you insight and understanding of why you have this knowing, this draw, this tug to take a step in a different direction.

It’s an inside job first to make a decision like this.

After that, all that is required to get started, once you make the decision, will be available, once your mind and heart agrees and says “Yes, it’s time.”

But right now, your only job is to consider the eight signs listed and allow your thoughts to dwell on them.

And then, and only then, you will pick up the phone and call me, or find me on Facebook and message me to say, “I’m ready, will you help me get started.”

Your first coaching call is on me.

We’ll talk and see exactly where you are right now,
what you’ve been doing, and what you can do next to begin setting up for making those dreams come to be your reality.

Ready? You just gotta call.
