Why Your Wage Will Keep You Poor or Miserable, or Both!

By Perry Lai



This may come as a surprise... but you have been lied to for a very long time. You may have been one of the most promising young thing that stepped out of your college, and have dreams of becoming successful. You had read that riches and achievement is within your grasp as soon as you set foot into the world of wages.

But if you are not happy where you are now, it simply isn't your fault. You may have been slogging for 60 hours a week in a J.O.B., and still cannot find the money to give your family the lifestyle they deserve. Or you just want the opportunity to live life by your terms, and not answer to a boss that has only one thing on his mind, to work you harder.

In the next 5 minutes, I will share with you some solutions to your predicament.

To leap, or not to leap.

Everyone has a fear.

When you are on the verge to decide you want to earn a profit than to be paid a wage, this one fear would crop up. How can you start something you have no experience in? What if you fail? What if you run out of cash, and have mouths to feed?

Let me assure you a couple of points here first.

You can rest assured that there are plenty of businesses you can start while still working in your full time J.O.B. In fact these businesses are turn-key and only require you to put in time so see a result. I will share more with you about turn-key businesses later.

The term turn-key, means a system is in place for you, and all you have to do is to follow their proven system of success, you would eventually see a profit. Think Macdonald's. Every franchise of Macdonald's is run in the exact same system. In fact, according to studies, the best franchises are run by rich farmers, and the worst, academics. One of them knows to follow a system. Imagine if you decide to harvest in winter instead of summer!

You may also have a fear that the business you choose to buy into, may not be your passion and you fizzle out after a while.

Not to worry, there are so many industries to choose from nowadays in the internet age. And also, interest and passion can be developed. Many wealthy internet marketers as wealthy because their passion is in marketing, and not in the product they market! Your passion may be just to earn an income that keeps your family comfortable. That could be a strong enough driving force, don't you think?

Let me confirm your suspicions here.

No, there are no get rich quick schemes if you want to make money ethically and fulfillingly. In every opportunity you come across, effort equity must be paid. You either pay by time, or by cash. Either way, you are never guaranteed of success. You are, however, guaranteed of support and mentorship when you seek it!

Before you jump into a brand new opportunity, find a forum or mentor that you can ask questions about whether it is worth your time.

Yes, there are also people who got their hands burnt in ventures they committed to. That is why you must first find out if there is an exit strategy. If you are going to commit a huge some of money into some opportunity with little or no promise, you may want to run away from it as quickly as you can, it spells scam all over!

Always find a low start up income opportunity, then choose to invest more when you feel confident, or start seeing results. Again, beware of smooth talkers, convincing you of results. See it for yourself first.

Finally, you can look at your neighbors, and be glad you are in control of your life.

Let's face it.

There are people out there who love to see you happy and succeed. On the other hand, there are probably more people out there who couldn't be happier if you failed in achieving your dreams!

If you watched "The Pursuit of Happyness", there would be a line that would absolutely strike you.

"Don't let somebody tell you you can't do something, not even me. People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it." - Will Smith as Chris Gardner.

Hold on to your dream. Because I am sure someone would want to steal it.

But remember, success is the sweetest revenge.

Ultimately, it is freedom. The freedom to choose what you want to do, when you want to it, with who you want to do it with. I took a leap from a regular pay check, into a US$30k debt. Today, I wake up when I want to, and I work because want to. Oh, I forgot, and I also get to tell my friends, see, I told you so! I had no experience in business whatsoever. But the fact you are reading this now, means that I was able to market my message beyond the shores of my hometown of Singapore. Imagine if you had as much passion as me to succeed, how quickly would you start earning money from a business of your choice?

Start your search for freedom today. Starting with this article.
