Lawdy Dawdy So Many Are Trapped

It’s out of the bag. I really need to get this off my chest.
They say it is wise to learn from the mistakes of others so that
you avoid doing the same. Why do so many people commit
themselves to a 40/40 life?

What is a 40/40 lifestyle? This occurs when one works 40 hours
plus a week for the next 40 years plus of their lives. On the
surface nothing may seem to be wrong with this lifestyle as it
was what we were taught to do to be successful. But is this
really true? You decide.

Look around in your community and see how many retired persons
can be deemed as being financially successful. I guarantee that
the answer would be a few unless you live in an upscale
neighborhood. Many pensioners hardly have enough money to take
care of their needs like getting the best healthcare, healthy
food and other basic necessities.

Is this the life you choose to live? Why are you not creative
and a builder of dreams? There is no wealth to be made from
wages, wealth comes from profit and profits are made when you
own a business or when you make your money work for you.

Once you have a talent and you can do it well, money can be made
from your skills. Talent alone though will not bring success,
you will need to work for it. The world is full of talented
individuals who can sing, bake or write well but are still
broke.

You can start your own business right in your home and operate
it on a part time basis. I know persons who raise and sell
chickens, Avon products, bake goods and there are many like
myself who run online businesses. The best part is that you can
start with a small budget and gradually grow your business. This
is the beginning of security and freedom.

It’s just so sad to see so many people leave college with their
degrees and end up unemployed. And when they do find employment
many will eventually find themselves trap in a 9-5,
hand-to-mouth life. Why don’t they advocate entrepreneurship and
teach students to be the captain of their own ship?

Being a business owner has many advantages that far outweigh the
disadvantages. For example here in Jamaica when I received a
paycheck there are numerous deductions made before it reaches my
hand. By contrast, when I make money from Adsense or an
affiliate program all it costs me is the bank charges. That’s
how many governments make money by preying on the employed. If
everyone in any given country owned his or her business, then
many a budget would be in trouble.

Some countries reward their citizens for becoming entrepreneurs
by giving them incentives, tax breaks or refunds. As an employee
these benefits don’t exist.

If you are a member of the rat race like myself, then you should
be thinking deeply about your future. Don’t you want the best
for your family and yourself? Choose not to be trapped in a
40/40 life where there are fewer opportunities for success and
growth. Think about it, you can always pass on your business to
your children or family but can they inherit your job?
