Working To Make Someone Else Rich
Working to make someone else rich. That thought hits me like a ton of bricks. I have been doing that all my life. Why? Maybe we have been conditioned to work for someone else.
Growing up, we watched as one or both of our parents left home to go to work. That was normal. It happened each & everyday. We expected it. That’s the way life was.
As I’ve gotten older and realized I have been working for years making someone else rich, I also realized I HATE IT! It’s time I worked to make myself rich. Why Not?
I’ve seen others do it. Pro Athletes, Movie Stars, Musicians and the list goes on and on. I did some soul searching and thought “Why Not Me?” Who says I have to work a lifetime for someone else? Why can’t I work for myself?
I’m tired of waking up early to an alarm clock, being told when to be at work, when to take a break, when to go to lunch, when to be back from lunch and when to go home.
It seems the more you do for someone else the more they want, so my Wife & I decided to start our own business from our home. We still work outside of home for now, but I look forward to the day when we won’t have to answer to an alarm clock or a boss.
I still work hard, but I’m working at home to build OUR DREAMS, not someone else’s. In fact, I look forward to coming home and working OUR business. The decision to start our own business was not an easy one.
We searched for a number of months before choosing one. This is a company that provides services that we all use almost all the time.
I have a friend who is very successful in this business. In fact He and his family once took a 7 week vacation. That may be hard to believe, but it’s true. What company or job will let you do that? I can’t think of any.
Working our business does take effort on my part, but I focus on our dreams & goals, not on the hard work. In fact it’s fun. I can work as long as I want to and take a break when I want to, with NO BOSS watching over me.
Do you have Dreams & Goals you would love to see become reality? It is possible. Why not build your own future now? Work to make yourself rich and retire when you want to. Do what you want, when you want, with whom you want, for as long as you want. If you are ready to make a change in your life, click on the link below. Make the decision that life doesn’t revolve around a boss. Be Your Own Boss!

Your Comfort Zone
Everyone has a comfort zone. It could be a favorite room in your home, a friend’s home, your office or wherever. We all have our own comfort zone. With most of us it’s our job. We go to work, do the same thing over and over everyday.
We work our jobs, but most of us hate our jobs. For the most part we work for the same company, the same boss, doing the same job or task month after month, year after year, for 5, 10, 15 years or more. Most of us will retire from the company we have worked for, for years.
We might get a pension or retirement package, but will it be enough to live on comfortably for the rest of our lives? Most workers will retire when they reach their mid sixties.
Not to be morbid or anything like that, but how much longer will we live past our mid sixties? Social Security, if it’s still around in 10 or more years, won’t be close enough for us to live a comfortable life after we retire. Most of us will have to get a part-time job, just to make ends meet.
If we do get a part-time job, is that really retirement? Here’s an example. My own Dad retired, but took a part-time job at Walmart as a door greeter. He really wasn’t retired, he just worked part-time.
I am an aluminum boat welder. I’ve been welding for over 7 years, so I guess you can say that’s my comfort zone. The only thing about it is, “I HATE IT!”
I hate working for someone else. Having to get up early, drive to work, work until they say I can take a break, when I can go to lunch, when to be back from lunch and when I can go home. Some comfort zone huh?
If I were a betting man I’d say it’s probably the same with you. I’m tired of it, so my Wife and I started our own business from home. After looking for a business we would be comfortable with we decided to start a business that helps people who don’t have insurance or any kind of medical benefits.
To us, helping others, now that’s a great comfort zone. We are looking forward to helping as many people as we can. With the cost of health care these days, people need insurance. If they can’t get insurance, we have an alternative.
How about you? Would you be willing to step out of your comfort zone and help others? I promise, it won’t hurt and I’m sure you’ll feel good about it.

I’d Rather Fight Than Switch!
Back when I was a kid, I remember a saying that went something like this,“I’d rather fight than switch.” I think it had to do with cigarettes.
As I’ve gotten older, I look back and think about the times when I could have done different things in my life. Maybe a different job, place to live, car that I owned, etc.
I sometimes wonder if my life would have been different if I would have made a switch, rather than fight making that switch. Back when I was younger, I worked as a cook in a restaurant and I was pretty good.
My grandfather told me I needed to do something better, something that paid more. I didn’t want to hear that so I just kept cooking. A few years later the restaurant closed and I didn’t have anything to fall back on. He was right.
Looking back I wish I would have applied myself to learning something that I could make a career out of, but I have to admit, I was lazy. I just took whatever I could find.
Now that I’m older (and hopefully wiser), I have finally found a business that I can call my own. I have a lot to learn, but I am applying myself and trying to learn as much as I can.
I have a great teacher, coach, mentor, whatever you want to call it, I’m learning. Back when I was younger “I’d Rather Fight Than Switch,” and I was WRONG!
I have realized that I should have taken my grandfather’s advice and made a switch to something better. I guess better late than never.
What I am doing now, is helping people who need help. There are people who don’t have any health benefits, prescription benefits or dental benefits. The business my wife and I are in offer a way for people to get the care they need at a discount of what they normally would pay.
I regret having the “I’d Rather Fight Than Switch” mind set back then. I look forward to helping as many people as we can.
If you would like to help others, you can. It’s never too late. Just click on the link below and you can find out how to make a difference in other people’s lives as well as your own.

Air
The other day at work, my lead man told me a story he heard on the radio. I’ll be paraphrasing here but this is the story: A young man went to meet with a successful old man to ask him what the most important thing a person needed to be successful.
They started walking when they stopped at a pond that the old man had on his property. They sat down at the waters edge. As they talked, the old man suddenly grabbed the young man and held his head under the water.
Finally, the old man pulled the young man’s head out of the water and asked him, “What was the one thing you wanted most when your head was under water?” The young man said, “Air.”
The old man then said, “Whatever it is that you want in life, success in your marriage, being a parent, being a friend, whatever it is, you have to want success as much as you wanted air.”
That got me thinking. When you have your own business, you have to want success as much as you want air. The desire to be successful has to be so strong that, in the words of a friend of mine, “To get what you have never had, you have to do what you have never done.”
We all pay a price to have what we have. We go to work and pay a price for our boss. We give our bosses 8-10 hours a day of our time, and we get compensated for our time with a wage. Why not give ourselves at least 5-10 hours a week, and work for ourselves?
Why not build our futures instead of our bosses? Why not work for ourselves and become successful with our own business so maybe we can retire years before we have to? And I mean retire comfortably.
Ask yourselves this question, “Is my time worth more to me, or more to my boss?” I’m sure we all feel overworked and underpaid. Why continue going down that same road? Why not change direction and go down your own “road to success?”
Maybe we don’t want success as much as we want air. Do you want success? Would you like to fire your boss? Would you like to work from home and make more money than your boss? If you have the WHY, we have the WAY. If you want financial freedom, click on the link below.

Why Listen To The Doubters?
The Doubters! The people that run you down, make fun of you and laugh when you fail. It doesn’t really matter who they are, friends or family, they always seem to be there to see if you fail, then say, “I told you so!”
Why is it that when you start to do something you have never done before, to make a better future for yourself and your family, you hear, “You can’t do that,” or “That won’t work, or “I know so and so who tried to do that and they quit,” Yada, Yada, Yada.
They always try to talk you out of doing something you believe in. Something that will change your life. Maybe they have good intentions, but they end up making fun of you. In my case it’s one of my brothers.
I’m in a position where I HAVE to look toward the future NOW! I also don’t enjoy working for others who probably don’t even know my name. So, my Wife and I started our own business from home.
We still work for others outside of home, but we work our own business in the evenings and weekends. I never thought I’d say this but, I have fun working from home, knowing it will pay off in the end.
I REFUSE to let anyone steal my dreams! I want my Wife and I to be able to retire as soon as possible without ever having to worry about money and how we are going to pay our bills. With our own business, I know that my dreams will become reality.
Do you have dreams of your own? Of course! Everyone does. Have you ever thought about how your dreams will become reality? Do you really want to work harder for someone else, or would you like to work for yourself, and be in control of your own future?
Age is NO excuse or obstacle! It doesn’t matter how old you are, anyone can do this business. Take control of your future now by clicking on the link below. You’ll be glad you did.
John & Caroline work their home business so they will have the freedom of time and money to spend with their children and grandchildren.

What If?
What if someone told you about an opportunity to make money working from home? Residual income. Income that would enable you to quit your job, fire your boss and work when you want?
What if you had all the time you wanted or needed to do whatever you want or need to do? What if you didn’t have to punch a time clock, answer to a boss, come and go when you were told to? Work overtime when you were told to.
I could go on and on, but I believe you know what I’m talking about. I’m sure you face all that I described and then some. I know I get tired of getting up early, going to a 10 hour a day job, coming home exhausted, and doing it all over again the next day.
What if you could change all of that? What if you could work for yourself, at home and make more money than your boss makes? Would you still get up early, go to work, come home tired, or would you like to get up when you wanted to, work from home and enjoy the freedom of having extra time?
If all of this sounds too good to be true, well it’s NOT! I know of an opportunity that can give you the freedom that you may be looking for. You can work your own hours and never have to leave the comfort of your home.
You CAN make more money than your boss, and not have him or her breathing down your neck, wanting more out of you. No more going out in the cold in the winter, cleaning off your car, letting it warm up before you leave for work. No more fighting traffic trying to get to work on time.
I’ll stop here with all of the scenarios, and let you add your own, but I do have very good news. There is an opportunity that I have found that can change all of the bad into the good.
Have I peaked your curiosity? If so click on the link below and find what you have been looking for.
