Every day when he comes over I will give him a word, he must learn to define the word and spell it. He must be able...

One of the topics I have been strong on since 2008 when I started TSP that is honestly unique in the preparedness world is entrepreneurship.  Many take the view that since it is “all going to collapse”, why would you bother.  Frankly that is a beyond myopic view, at TSP we don’t only plan for things to go wrong, we plan for them to go right as well. Perhaps it is that I did a lot...
