This question came in last week, and I’m certain that Ada isn’t the only one with this one bouncing around.

Hi Brian,
I was wondering if this issue is discussing the financial aspect more from a “new grad” or is it applicable to those who have been in the field longer with debt?
Thanks so much!
Ada

That depends. Are you crotchety and stuck in your ways? Can you adapt knowledge and information from one setting to another?
Allow me to give an example.
Since I’m writing emails every day and the newsletter every month, I figured I should learn more about writing and storytelling. This past weekend I was in Fivebelow buying floaty pool toys (we were in Florida on vacation for the week). While wandering the store waiting for my kids to choose the perfect color water gun, I happened upon a book on drawing comics by the great Stan Lee. Is it possible I could learn something from the creator of the Marvel Universe, Spider-Man, The Avengers and on and on about telling better stories?
Was the book about writing? Nope. Not one word about writing. It was all about pencil lines, shapes, and vanishing points. But I easily got a $1,000 course on writing out of a $5 book on drawing.
I usually write for the student / new grad, but that is just perspective because I have to write for someone. The ideas in this issue, in particular, are valuable to anyone who wants more money and is tired of student loan debt. Now the more established crowd will poo poo some of the ideas as beneath them of course. “I refuse to bend down and pick up that one hundred dollar bill. It’s on the ground and might be dirty.”
Most of the issue is dedicated to things I’m currently doing to create ever bigger piles of money and things I wish I’d done (that would have been easy at the beginning) on day one.
This newsletter is easily the most VALUABLE issue I’ve produced to date. No question about it, if your measuring dollars and cents. Whether you’re saving lives and making the world a better place or training to one day, this issue has the power to create dangerous changes in your life.
Not a moment to lose. It heads to the printer tonight. I don’t sell back issues, so this is the inflection point.
