Trick or Treat… Wait a minute… Halloween is over or is it?

Yes, Halloween may be over but the Trick or Treating isn’t.

This is a critical time for all Entrepreneurs in the United States. If you are an Entrepreneur living outside the U.S.A. you may want to pay attention to this because it will affect you as well.

We have an important election coming up… and before you get on my case about being political, I promise you I’m not even going to go there.

What I do want you to realize is, this is a critical time for Entrepreneurs and you must get out there and vote. Your future depends on it.

But more importantly don’t just get out and vote based on all the advertisements you’ve seen. Get educated. Do your research. Most of these are just smear campaigns and don’t address where the candidates really stand.

I personally don’t like either candidate. If it were up to me, I’d give both of them the Donald Trump (You’re Fired) and select someone who is concerned about our country’s best interest.

All I’m asking you to do is, do your homework. Check out each of the candidates carefully and look how they voted on issues in the past. Do a little research and learn for yourself where they stand on critical issues. Don’t believe a word the media says either way.

Check out the issues like,

Is the candidate pro business or for wealth distribution?
Is the candidate for raising or lowering taxes?
Is the candidate for freedom or limiting your freedoms more than they already are?
Does the candidate believe we can run our own nation or do they feel it’s better that we be run by a world organization?
Where does the candidate stand of personal freedoms like the first and second amendment?
Where does the candidate stand on welfare?

All these various issues will determine if you are going to live a more free or restricted life. Anything that promotes a socialistic society is bad for the economy as well as the nation as a whole. The more socialistic we become the worse the economy will get.

It has been proven over the years that socialism doesn’t work. Just look at Russia.

Yes, they are a communist nation, but they believed in socialism i.e. redistribution of wealth.

They are however becoming less socialistic and more capitalistic than we are. Why, because they figured out it doesn’t work. They’re economy was stagnant and going nowhere. The quality of goods and services were terrible because no one cared.

Why should they? There was no incentive to do better.

The U.S. is headed down the path other countries have gone before and failed. We should learn from this instead of making the same mistake.

This is still the land of opportunity, but it may not be for much longer if we don’t select the correct leadership. And this is not just at the national level. You must get educated about your local level as well.

It is your responsibility to care and get involved if you want to retain the freedoms you enjoy. That’s why it’s critical for you to do your research and vote for the best candidate.
I hope you realize that freedom isn’t free. You have to do something to get it and then keep it. Our founding fathers died to give us our freedom. That is a hefty price to pay. Would you be willing to give up your life for freedom?

Then why are so many people so complacent about letting the politician’s just get away with stripping our freedoms further each and every year?

It’s called being comfortable with the status quo, period.

It’s time to get educated and do your duty. I took the time to do my research and I know whom I will be voting for on all levels. I suggest you do the same because you could end up stripped of your freedoms and being taxed even further.

Is that what you want?

I didn’t think so.

As an Entrepreneur, it’s not enough to just make the money. You have to be able to keep it as well. There are many nations out there that punish the people who are actually productive. These same productive people are the ones who create jobs and stimulate the economy, not drag it down.

When incentives are taken away from Entrepreneurs to do better, why would they?

Keep this in mind when you go vote tomorrow. I encourage you to do what ever you have to do to get educated about the candidates. If you don’t feel like you don’t have the time to get educated, then I guarantee you won’t have the time to get wealthy either.

Entrepreneurs think much differently than other people do. In fact they think 180 degrees different. They do their homework. They understand their markets. And then they take action.

To Your Success,

Andy Fuehl

PS: I know you will do the right thing. You are an Entrepreneur and because you are, you have the right stuff. I’ll be there at the polls with you tomorrow.
