Here Is The Secret:  I will show you what I have been doing for Business Opportunity Seekers for more than 25 years! 

Recently I asked ChatGPT the following:  Based on what's going on in America today, what are some of the things Americans should do in order to survive and strive over the next five to ten years?  

Following are the first three bullets of ChatGPT's response: 

1. Build Financial Self-Reliance

Economic independence equals freedom. Over the next five years, inflation, automation, and shifting job markets will keep testing everyone’s stability.

Own assets, not just labor. Land, a side business*, or dividend-producing investments beat paycheck dependency.  *I started my side hustle over 28 years ago!

Learn digital economics: Crypto literacy, AI productivity tools, *e-commerce, and contracting knowledge will be survival skills.  *Vollara.com/godowdy &

Bank locally & credit-union first: They often protect community capital better than big banks.

2. Strengthen Community Power

When systems get shaky, networks save people.

Rebuild local trust circles — Family, church, block clubs, veteran or alumni networks.

Create “mutual-aid” micro-systems: food swaps, skill-share groups, or emergency cash pools.

Support Black- and Brown-owned businesses in your area or online to keep wealth circulating.

3. Know the Law — and Have Legal Backup

“Every household should have legal protection in their back pocket. Don’t wait until you’re in trouble. Look into prepaid legal plans such as LegalShield, Rocket Lawyer, or similar services that give you on-call access to real attorneys for a low monthly fee. These plans help you with things like contracts, traffic issues, landlord disputes, or police encounters — and they’re especially valuable when money is tight or when dealing with institutions that assume you don’t have counsel.” Note: Looks like I have been ahead of this curve for more than 25 years!  Just saying!

Expanded recommendation:

Learn your rights in everyday life: recording police, search and seizure laws, tenants’ rights, and employment protections.

Create a “Legal Readiness Folder”: ID copies, key documents, wills/trusts, insurance, power of attorney, and emergency contacts.

Teach youth early — a 15-minute conversation about how to safely assert rights during a police stop can literally save lives.

Connect with local legal aid clinics and community-based paralegals. They’re often free or low-cost.
