BE YOUR OWN BOSS, NEVER BE A SLAVE WORKER

In this article, I cover the importance of working for yourself and tripling your profits. Let’s face it, majority of us do not like our job, and it could be for numerous reasons. The pay is horrible, the hours are too long, the taxes they take out of our paycheck is ridiculous, the workload is too much, or sometimes hard as shit, and we might not get along with our co-workers, or the most common one of them all, our manager is just a complete dickhead. In order to resolve this issue, one must analyze the problem.

First things first, we need to look into the reality of certain jobs. Most low-level and average salary jobs aren’t designed to help you out financially. The system is designed to keep you a slave to the company. You’re never gonna get rich working for these companies; you’re only gonna make the corporate people rich. It’s really a divide and conquer scheme that’s been practiced for centuries.    I’ll give you an example: there’s a store that’s about to open and the management obviously needs workers to help open the store. So they go to the communities and put up now hiring ads. They already know the hype behind grand openings are extremely huge, so they over hire employees. For the first few weeks, business is booming, and you’re getting an unlimited supply of hours. Your checks are pretty decent and you think you’ve found your dream job until the reality hits.

Now the hype is all gone, the business starts to slow down. You look at your schedule and now you went from 40 plus hours weekly to 15 hours or less. You’re in shock, you’re thinking to yourself: what the fuck is going on, how am I going to pay my bills, rent, how am I gonna continue to get fly, etc. Now you’re starting to think that maybe you weren’t working good or fast enough. Well, I’ll give you a sense of relief. It’s very rare that your work ethic has anything to do with whether or not you’re gonna get your hours increased or reduced. They have already decided long before the store opened who was going to be in their chain of commands. It’s like the president pre-selects his cabinet for his administration, before he’s sworn in and officially active as the commander in chief.

Don’t think the General Manager and the District Managers don’t have ‘conference meetings’ and discuss the basis of what they think, or who they think is a value to their company. It’s all about relationships. Correction, it’s all about who kisses the most ass – because most people with power pray off the weak links they can control. It helps them sleep at night and it feeds their ego because they know outside of that company they are complete losers and low lives. So they hide behind their position of power. The sad part is your own co-worker will sell you out and fuck you over to try to get that number 1 spot or take your spot. Whenever you start off working with somebody, they seem cool as shit, but then as soon as they get little more job opportunities, their entire character changes. The system is designed to do that specifically.

You have to understand it’s always business, never personal. So here are few ways to always stay afloat from the politics and the corporate bureaucracy: number 1, always have back up income. What I mean by that is get a second gig that’s gonna bring you extra income, shit! Invest in the streets and get your hands on some product if desperate times call for desperate measures. Find something you’re very good at that can be used in daily activities to help you earn some extra income. For instance, if you’re good at cooking, doing hair, or writing (like myself, lol) utilize that talent and look for people who need help in those areas. Offer your services for a set fee.

Number 2, I can’t stress the importance of saving your money. Yeah, everybody wants to emulate what they see on TV but you have to understand something. Majority of that shit is make believe, it’s an illusion that’s been created to brainwash the general masses so they can get ratings and sales off your already low pockets. Do not allow yourself to fall victim to these get rich quick Ponzi schemes, it just never works. The bible says, “If a man doesn’t work, he doesn’t eat.” So if you think you’re going to be a millionaire overnight without putting in any kind of work, you’re only lying to yourself. Be realistic with your financial goals.

Finally, invest your money in other areas that’s gonna bring you more revenue and keep your money circulating for the time being, until you really figure out a financial system that’s gonna keep the ball rolling for you. Once you’ve established yourself as an entrepreneur, you can have a peace of mind knowing that you don’t have to waste your time and energy working at a bullshit low-end job that’s only designed to keep you at the bottom and make the higher-ups wealthy. Remember it costs to be the boss.
