Atlas Can Shrug

Atlas had waged and lost a ten-year war against the gods of Mount Olympus. As punishment, the gods condemned Atlas to support the earth and the heavens on his back for eternity. He had grown weary of the task and was only too glad when Hercules offered to take over his burden. In turn, Hercules said he needed help to complete his eleventh labor, fetching the Golden Apples, which were closely guarded by nymphs called the Hesperides. Prometheus had told Hercules that Atlas could easily complete this labor as he was the nymphs’ father and knew their secrets. When Atlas returned with the apples, Hercules tricked him into resuming the burden of bearing the earth and the heavens on his back for eternity. This statue depicts that never-ending punishment.

Ayn Rand wrote a wonderful book entitled "Atlas Shrugged". You do not have to carry and support leeches, parasites, or scavengers. You should be rewarded for the value you create. Don't work for nothing. You are entitled to choose whom you do business with and associate with. When people take advantage of you, misuse or abuse you, or steal from you, you have the OBLIGATION to shrug them off. Don't be tricked, as Atlas was, into bearing an unfair burden. If you want to ride the horse, you have to feed it. People who reap have to sow - those who reap without sowing are thieves, and they should be shrugged off your back.

When you're not carrying unnecessary weight around, you can move fast. You'll find yourself happier and healthier, richer and wealthier. And because you're happier, you'll attract more winners into your life and less whiners. Rid yourself of the fat. You will become a lean money machine, and you'll have the time and clarity required to find creative solutions and the means to creating more wealth and value. A successful entrepreneur should continually and regularly evaluate his or her relationships and shrug the disloyal detractors and saboteurs off. People are genuinely either for you or against you - never doubt that.

To Get Free, You Need New Information

A lot of information that people get keeps them poor, hungry and desperate - the only PhD they’ll ever get. This is the herd - the sheeple - doing what everyone does because they have the wrong information. Read this excerpt from Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead:

“Roark pointed to the picture of the Parthenon. ‘Shall I tell you what’s rotten about it? Look! The famous flutings in the famous columns. What are they there for? To hide the joints in wood, when columns were made of wood. Only they aren’t - they’re marble. The triglets - what are they? Wood. Wooden beams - the way they were laid when people began to build wooden shacks. Your Greeks took marble and they made copies of their wooden structures out of it, because others had done it that way. Then your maters of the Renaissance cam along and made copies in plaster of copies in marble of copies in wood. Now here we are, making copies in steel and concrete of copies in plaster of copies in marble of copies in wood. Why? I want to be an architect, not an archaeologist.’”

Many politicians, mystics, academics, bureaucrats, and employers have a vested interest in feeding the herd with incorrect information that is guaranteed to keep them poor, dependant, blindfolded, hobbled, and restricted. When sheeple have no time or money, they don’t have time to think, evaluate, or question. They’re working too hard to survive to even consider the fact that they could thrive. Lots of meetings, long commutes, high taxes, lots of red tape, and myths keep the herd from breaking free of their prisons of fear and scarcity. They are force fed repackaged lies through confidence tricksters in pulpits, on CNN, in the universities and colleges and in newspapers; people whom they respect and look up to. The socialists, collectivists, witchdoctors, multiculturalists, and environmentalists don’t want you to know what will set you free from their control.

When it comes to money and business, DollarMakers is all about showing people how to make dollars with no cost or risk, and regardless of whether or not they have a business, or their background, age or circumstances. That’s the information we share. How to retire in one year. How to avoid risk. How to get rich. How to be financially free and live a congruent life. How to escape the bondage of debt and a job. We share the same information that we used to achieve retirement twice. Our mission is to give people back their power of choice, their dignity and self-respect, their time, their families and their minds.
