My box of life!
The age of wisdom
Hi, and welcome to Handfield’s Finance & Technology news!
I’m A. E. Handfield. I am a copywriter, (ad man), and content creator among other things, and this is my first time starting a newsletter.
Why this, why now?
My reason for launching this space, what brought me here, and what inspired me to do it now is, well… Because there has never been a more crucial time of economic upheaval, not only for America but for the world! Now, more than ever, I think everyone needs to be knowledgeable about what to do to protect our financial future as well as the technology which can benefit us all on so many levels! But, I’m getting ahead of myself. Let me tell you a little about who I am…
Ever since I was a child I was naturally good at English. The only way I could get a bad grade in English was if I didn’t do the work! I was even at the top of my class in a mechanical writing course in college, (I ain’t say’n I finished college)! I never thought much about a career in writing, so I never pursued it. My reason for starting a career in writing now is that I had an epiphany, an awakening of sorts!
You see, a friend of mine knew I loved Science Fiction and adventure and was asked if he knew anyone who could write in that niche. He asked me and I jumped at the chance! I had never written anything for pay, mind you, but I was always imagining stories in my head and I didn’t lack confidence at all in the prospect of me writing Sci-Fi adventures!
My biggest problem as a youth was daydreaming, but all of that daydreaming was about to pay off in spades! I took the job out of love for writing, but I was shocked when I was offered pay, let alone the amount which made my jaw drop! After I’d finished the work quickly, which dismayed the client, I was promoted to the head writer!
Wow! I didn’t expect that! It was at that point I had my epiphany. I have three criteria for success.
1.) Do something you love so that it doesn’t feel like work!
2.) Do something you’re naturally good at, which gives you a leg up on the competition, And…
3.) Do something that pays extremely well! This way you can use your newfound wealth to re-invest in yourself and expand your business; which brings in more wealth, which then allows you to pursue not only your passion in life but your purpose as well!
(Wish I’d known all this when I was younger!)
Writing satisfied all three criteria, and there it was; my epiphany! I didn’t know there were so many directions to go in writing, nor how lucrative it was. I’m now at the age of wisdom in my, “Box of Life”, where now is the perfect time to pursue a career in writing for me because it’s always been easy for me to write. Factoring in the age of information and technology, writing is easier than ever before!
What kind of community am I looking to build here?
I’m not just starting a newsletter here on Substack, I intend to start a community if not join one. I’m inviting you to subscribe to financial and technological awareness in your local area if not on a global scale. Now… I am not a religious person but maybe… hopefully… We can also keep our souls intact in the process! Our world is changing, fast, and with the sharing of information, we can better prepare ourselves for that coming economic change.
What benefits will this newsletter bring?
Clarity… Specific, Global, Economic Clarity!
This space will be about Macroeconomics, or economics on a global scale which impacts our lives on a micro-scale sooner or later in a big way! I know you love clarity, so… I’ll Be very clear with you explaining what you, the reader, should expect from this newsletter.
I intend to share information with those who are well-versed in economic lingo, but I will also bring clarity to the information, as best as I can, in bite-size chunks for people like me who are just awakening to all of this and may not understand everything. I’ll be posting once per month on the last day of the month. I hope, this newsletter benefits you and yours greatly in the near future!
HAVE A GREAT DAY!
