God deliver South Africans from looking for a job
My prayer to God is to free South Africans from thinking of earning a living by getting a job. I know a lot of you would not even to hear what I’m trying to say..
Here me out. Here’s the thing
Employees trade their time for money and work in a system that is created by entrepreneurs. An entrepreneur creates a system that brings together people and (ideas that adds value to others), thus providing jobs for employees. Employees are paid fixed salaries because they are not paid to create anything. They are just paid to work with a system that is already created.
Entrepreneurs create work and employees look for work because they can’t create it themselves. Entrepreneurs create a number of clients that the can tap into at anytime. When one client leaves, the business owner still has other clients to tap into. Mean while if the employee loses his/her job, there’s no other options to tap into, except to stay home without a job. Entrepreneurs create value and a system to distribute that value to other people, while an employees within that system.
For that reason employees will never get the freedom to earn an income they want, at whatever time they desire for themselves. Their time is controlled by an already existing system, and most employees get stuck in this system by creating debt in the form of mortgages, cars etc.
Looking at the bigger picture, are you really doing what you like in your job? If you are doing what you like, what not create your own freedom of how and when to do it?
Remember entrepreneurs create what they like doing(in a form of a business), and they run it at a time that suits them best, which means they have the freedom to do what they like at the time that is best suited for them.
Can you now see the benefit of being an entrepreneur?
You can however break from the rat race of a 9-5 job. Here’s a few tips of what you can do to start preparing yourself for taking the leap into business:
- Spend less than you earn and save 10% of your salary every month.
- Develop self control and keep your needs and low as possible. Instead of buying lunch at work, you can bring your own lunch.
- Get out of debt as much as you can. Do you really need a car? Do you really need to buy new clothes, or go out on a drinking spree with friends? If you have to sell your car, remember that it’s because you have a project you are saving towards, which is breaking free from employment and starting your own business.
This is just but a few tips I can give to break free from employment. People who start their own businesses get enough income to meet their basic and comfort needs and do whatever they like with their own time.
Of course it will take time. Anything of quality takes time .
This article is in no way trying to discourage people from looking for jobs. It is aimed at people who keep saying they want to be rich, or they want to create wealth for themselves. I truly believe that getting a job is meant for one to save from his salary so they can buy things they like cash, start businesses and never have to be engulfed in debt. As mentioned before, wealth can only be created when one is doing something they love and have the freedom to have the income they want to pay for their basic and comfort needs. Now note that the main variable here is Freedom. With employment, one does not have the freedom to manage their own time. Their time is controlled by their employer because they traded their time in exchange for employment.
I hope this Article will encourage you start thinking like an entrepreneur and to take risks to create your own work/business.
