subject: Getting Ahead In The Current Economy: Why You Need A Home Business Of Your Own Right Now [print this page] The reason why you don't have enough money left at the end of each pay packet, and why you will not have enough money to retire with is not only about the economy.
You don't need to be a genius to figure out that most people earn less than they spend.
Why do we seem to fall further and further behind even though we seem to be better off than our parents and grandparents?
The answer: The banks allowed us to overspend, and in fact encouraged us to use the equity in our homes to the full. Our parents had only 30% of their annual household income consist of debt. Now it is more than 70%.
Add to that the fact that there are
Fewer jobs, lower wages increasing prices
Is it any wonder that we are struggling?
Our parents taught us that to have a job is security. They said that if you study and work hard, you should get a good job which will give you health insurance and a pension when you retire.
Most people though, hate their job or their boss or both. They hate the hours they work. And because they have so little money left and struggle to make ends meet, they see the job as little more than slavery.
Is that how you see your job?
Is there anything we can do about this?
There are two reasons we struggle financially:
We don't have enough MONEY. We don't have enough TIME.
However, the real problem is the way we were raised, and the beliefs we have accordingly. We believe that we have to have jobs which will be our "security" and we refuse to look at the facts: we are little more than slaves to our jobs. We are employees and consumers who believe that we have to do what everyone else is doing.
We rely on something that is not working any more. And we will continue to rely on it until there is a crisis that will make us all change to a new system. Then we will find it very difficult to adapt.
We exchange time for money, which is no longer serving us. However, because we are scared of change, we are hanging on for dear life! The unemployment rate is rising, things are getting expensive, interest rates are rising, banks are struggling, finance companies are going under, and the stock markets of many countries are plummeting. But still, we are hanging on.
There is a better way. However, we are going to have to change. Instead of being
Employees Consumers or buyers Imitators
We have to turn into
Entrepreneurs Marketers or Innovators
This will require a big shift in thinking. Not many people are up to it.
The benefits of having a job are that the income is immediate, and predictable: We know when and how much we'll get paid.
This "security" keeps us trapped in a vicious 9 - 5 cycle from which we can't escape. Slavery indeed.
In order to free ourselves and not become victims when the bubble bursts is to adopt a different way of thinking: A different mind-set that will allow us to think like a business owner. We need a way to start making the shift.
In the future, everyone will work from home. Everything is going online. The only people, who will work in the "real" world, are those who give physical services: hairdressers, restaurants, and auto services. Even supermarkets are going online.
This is why you need to look at having a home business which you can start up while you are still in your 9 - 5 job. You need the training to give you a different way of thinking. To wean you from slavery, and the sheep mentality most people have.
Joining a Direct Sales or Network Marketing company will give you the training and tools you need to start making the mental shift to get out of slavery. Taking your business online and learning online and social media marketing will train you to think like a business owner.
You can be a slave to your job for the rest of your life, or you can be free. It is up to you.
