We offer people to build a business rather than keeping a job. This can be a big step in your life because you have to make something happened on your own with your own will. Being a business owner, you will receive so many benefits to making your life happy and have the possibility to achieve your dream and freedom. why can’t many people own a business? Is it that hard? Is it possible? Let’s talk about that!!!
I know many of you hate your job. I know many of you are tired of the same schedule and lousy pay even after you receive a degree and also tired of being told what to do although still trying to get credits from your boss. From my experience, what I didn’t like the most was unreliable employment. For example, I got laid off a long time ago from Anthem. Anthem is the biggest health insurance corporation, it takes care of any types of health insurances. Thousands of people work there, especially when they have enrollment period in the end of a year. What happened was I got sick and couldn’t come for two days right before the Christmas and I knew that they were the busiest days of a year. What surprised me was calling me and told me that “you don’t have to come back to work anymore, thank you”. THAT”S IT!! I was desperate to come up with money for rent. I bet many of people experience that as well because any corporation operates this way and they keep employees under control by planting fears. What if I could not get a better job? What if I could not make ends meet tomorrow?
Yes, fear is something you don’t want to have in your life if you want to be happy and have freedom. Let me explain why!! If you step out of a box and start doing things on your own, there are tons of options waiting for you. 90% of people don’t own a business, a company owns you. Those are the people who are categorized in the lower or middle class in the society. Some have no idea what to do to run a business, some are ready to go but they cannot make the leap. They’ve done the market research, they’ve figured out how they’re going to incorporate their business, they have a company name and logo and a domain name picked out, and they even got a business plan laid out. Everything is in motion, but they cannot leap out of the box called, fear.
I am 100% sure that you must dream about taking a day or a week or month off whenever you like. You envision a future where you don’t have to worry about money. You long for the day when you can say that “ I made it.” How long have you been thinking like this? Weeks? Months? Years? Most of the time, You might not be afraid consciously, but make no mistake; subconsciously, you’re scared. What if you fail? What if you go broke? What will my wife or parents or friends think? Those are questions being asked subconsciously because in the fact that people have been programmed by our society and educational system.
All of us are sent to school since when we were younger. Pre-school to kindergarten to elementary school to junior high to high school. You were sent to these schools and you were told who your teachers would be, what you would learn, when you could go to the bathroom, when you could eat, when you could play and when you could leave. I just want you to think about how these decisions were made. All of these things were decided for you by others. You didn’t know any better because it’s literally what EVERYONE was doing. So you kept plugging away until you finally graduated high school. Then you could make your own decision either go to college or get a job. Our mind is not used to make decisions on our own. That’s why if you do something that different from everyone does. You feel no confident and also people surround you may against you because you are different, make sense? Or if you are not making money in the beginning when you start running a business, they would tell you, it won’t work”Get a Job”. This way of thinking is not only the United States, it is universal. I did experience in Japan. It took me 10 years to finally accept how the society of capitalism works.
Let me get to the bottom, If you have fear you won’t be able to do anything on your own to work for yourself, then you will continue working for someone else. The first step to creating freedom, and also financial freedom is to start doing things on your own. Let’s start to think on your own not to ask people what you should be doing and what is good or what is not. The best thing I recommend you to do is to ask successful people how and what they did. I believe that it is okay to be a copycat, as long as you copy the right cat. The worst thing you do is to ask your friends and your parents, because they can give you the advice to get to where they are, meaning if they make $80,000 annually, that is the best advice they can give you. As you realized, if you are willing to make above $200,000 annually, it would be the wrong place to ask.
