Why "Escape From The West" Is Different
Others work with only those who have already "made it." I want to help you get there.
Let’s be clear upfront: This is not a knock against other services out there. Many of them do a fantastic job of getting people diversified internationally so they can Escape From The West. Some of them, I have even linked to in previous entries.
But there’s a pattern amongst many of them: Their services are of a very boutique nature, highly specialized, highly customized, and typically targeting people with a net worth or annual salary of at least six figures.
What about the rest of the folks who may not have as much (yet)? They’re outta luck, and on their own.
I don’t hold this against these other companies. Their reasoning is sound enough: The higher income individuals who can afford these specialized services are the ones typically who can afford frequent international travel, and may already have planted flags in more than one country. These other companies also have staff that need to get paid for their specialized work, as well as the founders and principals of said companies. There are also many “middlemen” that these companies need to pay for their time and effort, such as lawyers and accountants. Add it all up, along with operating costs like renting office space, and the costs to help people Escape From The West can become rather high. So much so, that it simply makes sense to stick with accredited investors and high-net worth individuals.
“Okay, I understand all that,” you might say, “but as someone who is not an accredited investor or high-net worth individual (yet), what am I supposed to do?”
The answer is simple: You work towards becoming an accredited investor and high-net worth individual.
Notice that the answer is simple. The execution of that answer, on the other hand, is not so simple. But it starts with the simple wisdom of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad,” and that is to “build businesses and buy real estate.”
This is the source of great wealth for many accredited investors and high-net worth individuals throughout history.
“Wait a minute,” I can you saying/thinking, “I thought the point was to ‘Escape From The West,’ not ‘Strike It Rich In The West?’”
Yes, I do want you to Escape From The West, but there’s no reason you have to be like a penniless immigrant fresh off the boat at Ellis Island at the turn of the 20th century. You can still strike it rich, while you’re getting out of dodge.
But look at it another way: Let’s say you want to get a second passport through a Citizenship by Investment (CBI) program. Do you really think the countries offering such programs will allow you to finance out the $100,000+ that it costs to participate, in easy monthly payments over the next 10-30 years? No, they won’t, according to Christian Nesheim at Investment Migration Insider, and that’s “because a) they’d like to have more control over the source of funds and b) they’d like to limit applications to those that can comfortably afford it.”
Thus, you’d better have the cash ready to go when it’s time to execute your Escape From The West. If you don’t have that much cash at the ready, then you’d best start looking at ways to increase your means, namely building businesses and buying real estate.
We are in the late-stage looting phase of the American and Western Empire. You can either sit around and complain, but all that does is keep you broke, busted, bitter, and in bondage. Alternatively, you can get that bag, and Escape From The West.
That’s my goal with Escape From The West: To help you lift yourself up and become an accredited investor and high-net worth individual, so that you can Escape From The West.
