Something I Look Forward To

I look forward to being released from jail – PERMANENTLY!

As a county sheriff’s deputy, correctional officer, jail guard, screw, turnkey whatever you want to call me I am incarcerated 40 hours per week.  If you think about it that way, everyone who is employed is in jail for 40, 50, 60 hours per week.  By definition to be incarcerated is to lose one’s freedom, to lose one’s ability to do as one pleases.  I don’t think your boss would appreciate you sitting in the break room in your underwear watching the new Oprah Network for 5 hours, but wouldn’t it be nice to stay at home and do just that anytime you wanted?

In less than 1 minute I came up with 10 individuals that are in positions where they either:

1.       Hate what they do but stay there because they are comfortable in their misery

2.       Are slaves to their jobs because they are paid just enough to keep them in captivity

3.       Are in constant fear of layoffs

4.       Doubt themselves or their abilities so they stay in their current job when they can achieve so much more

5.       Have given up on the dream of having a life beyond mediocrity

I myself have suffered from 4 of the preceding 5 issues.  I think someone can overcome all 5 but that 5^th one is a killer.

I used to think somehow, someway I would find something that would make me successful so I always kept an open mind (I’ll even admit to falling for one or two of those work from home scams).  After a lot of years of being beat down by life and really a hell of a lot of poor life management I became content making an OK wage and being miserable in my job.  This went on until my wife Susy said she was presented with an opportunity.  Because I love her I supported her and faked optimism.  Well fake it til you make it baby, hope is once again alive!

We are business owners.  I don’t care what your brother says, what BadaBing@Yahoo answers says (knuckleheads know how to use the Internet now - just so you know).  We’ve been part of this awesome company for over a year now and we’ve seen the power it has and the good it can do for people.

So, can you be successful at this business?  Can we?  Well I think to be successful at this business or any business - it all boils down to 4 things:

1.       Belief in the system

2.       Belief in oneself

3.       Hard work

4.       Persistence

EMPLOYEE E YOU HAVE A JOB	BUSINESS OWNER B YOU OWN A SYSTEM AND PEOPLE WORK FOR YOU
S YOU OWN A JOB SELF EMPLOYED	I MONEY WORKS FOR YOU INVESTOR

Ask yourself, where am I on the above chart.  Then ask yourself, where do I want to be.  If you answered on the right, maybe I can help.  If you are a sharp individual open to exploring new things feel free to contact me through this blog to see if the opportunity might be right for you.

(I’ve used this before but I like it) So to steal from Dr. King – Throughout it all I’ve had a dream. The flame may have flickered but it never died. Now I live to feed the fire. I pray that if you ever had a dream that you keep searching for it. I also hope that you search with YOUR eyes, YOUR ears, and YOUR heart. Yours are the only senses that you can truly trust.
