Re-Thinking the word "Job"

It's easy to fall into the money trap. Times get tough, the economy buckles down, oil prices start soaring, inflation rates start sky rocketing, and words like "recession" start being batted around the financial media outlet like water in a desert.

It doesn't take too long for the "chicken little factor" to take effect, and before you know it every Tom, Dick, and Harry are all singing in unison, "The sky is falling, the sky is falling". The dooms day critics are quick to point to the sky as well. Why? Because it has been foretold in ancient literature that our days on earth our numbered. It's the beginning of the end or just simply put.....it's over. Finished. Done.

In times of financial stress the norm will proclaim the importance of "holding on to your job". The 'average Joe' will go running to work a 60 hour work week, facing traffic jams, constant mis-management, constant review and minimal vacation and for what? All for a small salary and benefits. The same benefits that ultimately stab you in the back when you try to use them. You know? The famous 80/20 health plan with a $2,000 deductible. The same plan that sucks $500-800 out of your pay check monthly. The same plan that covers you for your once a month $60 doctor visit. But it's all about playing it safe.

How safe is corporate downsizing? How safe is job lay-offs? How safe is your minimum wage job at the expense of lazy management? Playing it safe, quite frankly, is playing to lose. It's time to stop playing the victim in the game of "Chicken Little" and stand up for yourself and break free of the financial poverty that binds you! It's time to stand tall and stop making someone else rich and start making yourself rich! It's time to stop wasting your time and having a job rob you of your precious time and start taking back precious minutes for yourself and your family.

It's time to join the winning team, and the other 28 million home-based business owners who are taking advantage of financial freedom, time freedom, and tax advantages. Don't go work a "job"...your life is too valuable and short to be the peasant for the next guy. Time for you to think for yourself and reap the rewards that you so richly deserve!
