I thank God that I live in America. I truly believe in
rugged individualism and the Freedom to choose my career,
my religion, my spouse, the cars I drive, the house I live
in, etc. Freedom and democracy is also blossoming in other
parts of the world as well. And that is Wonderful!
But with the success and prosperity America has enjoyed, we
have also developed a few BAD habits. One is a growing
number of people in America feel entitled to "the good
life" withOUT doing anything to earn it. This is known as
the "welfare mentality." An example of "welfare mentality"
is an able bodied person who CAN work, but feels he does
not need to work, but expects OTHERS to pay for his food,
clothes, car, health insurance, etc.That is simply wrong!
But just as bad, and maybe worse, than the welfare
mentality is the "workfare mentality." This is an idea that
was popular in the mid 1900s and was preached like it was
an eternal truth."Workfare Mentality" is the belief that
"if I just work hard for a company, they will take care of
me. They will provide a good salary, good health care and
other benefits, and I will be "secure" working for
them.That may have been true at one time, but those days
are long gone! This is the "age of the entrepreneur."
You will never experience true freedom as long as you call
someone else your "boss!" In fact, speaking of freedom,
let's compare a typical "job" with being in prison!
Prison vs. a JOB (Just Over Broke)...
PRISON: you spend the majority of your time in an 8x10 cell
JOB: you spend the majority of your time in a 6x8 cubicle
PRISON: you get three meals a day
JOB: you only get a break for 1 meal and you have to pay
for it
PRISON: a guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you
JOB: you must carry around a security card and unlock and
open all the doors yourself
PRISON: you can watch TV and play games
JOB: you get fired for watching TV and playing games
PRISON: you get your own toilet
JOB: you have to share
PRISON: family and friends can visit regularly
JOB: speaking to your family and friends is prohibited
PRISON: all expenses are paid by the taxpayers with no work
required
JOB: you get to pay all the expenses to go to work and then
they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for those in
prison
PRISON: you spend most of your life looking through the
bars from the inside wanting to get out
JOB: you spend most of your time wanting to get out and go
inside bars
PRISON: there are wardens who are often sadistic
JOB: they are called managers!
You can break out of your "prison" of mediocrity! You can
tell your boss to "take a hike" and become the financial
success you've always dreamed of. But you need three things
Three things needed for Financial Success
1) A change of mind. You need to change from a welfare or
workfare mindset, to an "it's up to me to make it happen"
mindset.
2) A vehicle to take you where you want to go, financially
speaking. The best "vehicles" I am aware of are: investing
in Real Estate and Starting your Own Home Business. And
finally,
3) A mentor. Someone who has "driven" the vehicle you want
to drive and has become as successful and you want to be.
The old say goes: "You cannot learn to make $100,000 a year
from a person who has never made more than $40,000 per
year."
It is up to you!
Act now! Get out of that prison! Start a home based
business! With the advantages of the internet, you can
start a business for almost nothing. And, with the proper
mindset, a good financial vehicle (like a home based
internet business) and a mentor to help you, in a short
time you will become a wealthy marketer! And you will never
want to go back to "prison" again!
