If you are like me, you probably were raised to believe that life is about going to school, get good grades so you will be hired by the best firms. Nobody told us that we are masters of our own fate and captains of our own souls. That we can be anything we want to be, if we apply our minds smartly. This loser mentality brainwashed us so much so, that we can’t think prosperity without thinking about a job. We even forgot that there is a genius in every one of us that needs to be awakened.
The writers have written and the poets have spoken, so when are you planning to start taking your financial situation seriously? Trading your time for money is the most unreliable, riskiest and stupidest way of making money. You may not like this statement but it’s true and you know it. Think about it. Working is like signing your freedom away. You are sentencing yourself to life imprisonment. You can’t even wear your own clothes as you wish. You can’t go on lunch beyond an hour. You can’t go out as you please to attend to matters of concern to you. You have to beg somebody to go on leave or on holiday.
Did you know the Paycheck money is the most taxed money of all other forms of income? It gets taxed before it even gets to you. When will you turn 60yrs so you can go on pension, and that’s if you live to see the old age? Oh, I almost forgot, the government will take half of that money too.
Do you think this is what God created you for, to live in the mental cage?
You cannot produce different results using the same methods and that’s what you have been doing at your job for the past ten years, right? Shame! Every year you beg your employer to pay you more. Now, honestly, why should the employer pay you more to do the same job you have been doing for years? Are you surprised? Remember you agreed on the price tag that the firm put on you when you accepted the job offer.
You have worked so hard and even got the highest degrees under the sun, only to contribute to other people’s dreams, making them rich. The sad part is you have neglected yourself in the quest to appear smart amongst your colleagues at work. Think of where you will be by now if you were working this hard building your own business to break the work routine life sentence. How on earth will you be able to unleash your own potential if you are always busy, 0800-17h00 everyday with someone else’s business issues?
Have you ever thought of the following?
What will happen if you were to get terminally ill? What will happen to people who are dependent on you? What if you were to be told tomorrow “you are fired”? Are you aware that you are not in control of your life? Do you still think that trading your physical being for money at your job is the best way to generate income?
It’s insane isn’t it?
Good News is there is a way for those who are courageous enough to follow the road less travelled. Those who are smart enough to awaken the sleeping Genius in them and believe dreams do come true.
Wallace D. Wattles once wrote: “A man can form in his thought, and, by impressing his thought upon formless substance can cause the thing he thinks about to be created”
When you look around you, some people are living large. They drive beautiful cars, live in houses and suburbs you can only dream about. It's not a miracle, you can have it too, only if you are willing to change the way you see and do things. The world has so many opportunities to offer but you need to train your mind to see them. I challenge you to see the world through the eyes of an entrepreneur. Have you ever noticed how the mind tend to see more of the things that interest you? Example: if you want to buy a particular car, is it not funny how all of a sudden you see a lot of the same car?
I must warn you though, changing your thinking ways is not easy and it certainly will not take reading this article only, but it can be done . You need to invest in your financial education. To get you started I have included a free eBook for you to read and or download. There is also a lot of other eBooks on this site that you can buy to empower yourself.
