You are what you want to be. Just like you are what you eat, it also
follows that you are what you think. If you set your mind to work for
somebody as an employee, you will look for a job and you will be
satisfied working as an employee. However, if you set your mind
properly to attain financial freedom, you will find means of getting
wealthy without the pressures and hassles of working for someone else.
It seems that the mindset of many people is almost always pre-occupied
with working as an employee that they forget or unintentionally ignore
to cross the line, to see how they can create real wealth.
Just like a coin, they never bothered to look and to find out how it
feels to be on the other side of it.
Are you aware that the word “job” fits as an
acronym for “just over broke?” And rightfully, the
meaning does make sense. Having a job (as an employee) lets you earn
just enough to cover your daily expenses.
If you lose your job, you’re broke. Having a job or working
as an employee for somebody means your privileges are limited and
confined. Although your income is guaranteed, it is also limited.
You see, employers pay just enough so that employees don’t
quit. Consequently, employees work hard enough just so they
don’t get fired. Subconsciously, if you are an employee, the
creative side of your mind is not put to work in full capacity.
You may be making somebody rich but definitely, that somebody is not
you. You surrender control of your finances to somebody and you are at
his/her mercy. If his/her business go down, you go down with it.
If it goes up, it goes up alone. Most likely, you stay as you are. To
surrender one’s finances to somebody is like having your
future shaped in somebody else’s hand, not on your own.
I’m not saying that employers are bad. They provide jobs and
it’s good. I’m just painting a picture of one of
life’s realities which we hardly notice at times. If you go
to business, you eventually end up as an employer yourself.
I’m just opening the financial area of your mind.
Consider this: Palms facing up is receiving, kind of similar to
begging. Palms facing down is giving. Employees receive.
