Windshield time And the big headwind we face in creating wealth.
I so enjoy windshield time. While not all windshield time is created equal, there’s nothing like a road trip into “the country” delivering a cornucopia of countryside coming at you through 360 degrees of windshield and windows that just feels like freedom…especially with the city shrinking in the rear view mirror.
This was the start of my Wednesday last week as I headed out to the field with some prospective investor partners touring the PetroVybe ONE Oil and Gas development project in south central Texas.
The entire excursion onsite and all around the county was fantastic. And the windshield time did not disappoint. In addition to hurdling toward freedom, the ironic confinement in a vehicle created opportunity for conversation about all things life including Jesus, iced tea, first jobs, and of course…investing in oil and gas.
Investing in Oil and Gas is alluring.
But what problem does it solve? Who has that problem? And how does OG really solve it differently than other investment vehicles?
The number one problem we all face is best described as a headwind made up of three things, all working in concert to rob our wealth and constrict our personal freedom. And this headwind is relentless, seemingly fueled by an endless source of power. It never stops blowing in our faces and only gets stronger the more we fight it.
Inflation. Taxation. Consumption.
This “ITC” headwind is a trifecta created by a world who’s only objective is to take from creators like you and me, and use what we create to fuel their consumption. See, they know you can’t help but create. It’s in your DNA. You, me, and our peers…we will find a way to create. And they will take. The more we create, the more they take.
Think 12% or even 18% annual returns are going to fuel wealth creation? Forget it. Inflation already killed half or more of it before it hits your bank. 18% is really 9%. Then comes the tax man and another “halving”. Now we’re down to 4.5%.
Think we have taxes licked with deductions? Think again. We live in a world where literally everything we do carries a tax burden. That “halving” is real, even for creators like us.
And then there’s the onslaught of noise from a world persuading us to consume, consume, consume…all in the names of comfort and convenience. I mean, how much more stuff do we really need to maintain or incrementally improve comfort and convenience?
Think a change in the White House will help solve the problem? Creators know better. It’s just more noise.
We have to think differently. We have to think bigger. We have to behave smarter. That’s why we INVEST in things where our dollars go to work for us.
But we have to invest in creations that are designed to scale…creations that are designed to increase the power of a dollar enough to breakthrough the relentless headwind of inflation, taxation, and consumption.
Unfortunately, few Oil and Gas deals are properly designed for truly creating wealth because they focus only on cash flow not creating wealth.
So, if you are ready to give inflation, taxation, and consumption the beat down they all so badly deserve, check out the partnership qualification criteria HERE to see if PetroVybe might be the right place for you to get to a new level in creating wealth.
Hope you found this read fruitful in your OG education journey!
Until next time,
