Who Are You Making Rich Everyday?
Yourself? Your Neighbor? Some Stranger?
Hey, we buy crap from any and everybody. We buy from restaurants, street vendors, the ice cream man, car dealers, clothing stores — that foreign food restaurant that may not have a great health department food rating but the food is bangin!
Time is money. And anytime you spend time on any endeavor, you are either making yourself money or you are enriching someone else.
Let’s look at your time.
- You wake up and consume breakfast from 4 or 5 different food manufacturers.
- Kelloggs
- Jimmy Dean
- Tropicana Orange Juice
- Borden’s Milk
- Aunt Jemima Pancakes
- IHOP – Burger King – McDonalds – Waffle House…
- Then you put on clothing from a number of clothing manufacturers made by a clothier who:
- 97% of the clothes and 98% of the shoes are made outside of the USA
- In the 1960s, 95% of the apparel that we wore was Made in the USA
- We drive to work in a car that was marketed to us and our perception of the perceived value is shaped by advertising and celebrity driven promotional campaigns.
- Tiger Woods (Buick), Charles Barkley, Blake Griffin (Kia Optima), Ricardo Montalban(Chrysler Cordova -w Corinthian Leather), Jlo (Fiat)…
- Then we go to work in a place that studies show that 70% of workers HATE THEIR JOBS.
- After 8-10 hours we go home and reverse the cycle with car – home (home furnishings-, Dinner, TV and then Bed
Two things that we would like to key on today in this (Home-Work and Home-Bed) cycle.
- Marketing as relates to television and time wasting
- Self Development – Self Study – Self enrichment – Self Support
When I was employed by others I would often ask myself “If my boss walked through that door this morning after having a bad weekend and fired the entire staff or just ME, what would I do tomorrow”. Every time I had that thought, it made me study something, listen to something on the internet telling me something, related to my intended purpose, or speak to someone who knew something different than I already knew.
- Do you want to take care of those you love?
- If you own a company you need to make at least $1m a year to even have a chance.
- 75% of all small businesses make less than $250k, not enough to attract great talent much less promote their company and stay on the cutting edge.
