False Security Is A Poor Excuse
Too many people seem concerned with the kind of false security that comes from having a day job. It’s disappointing to hear somebody with great potential say something like “well I just want the security of a regular paycheck”.
This is nonsense. Keeping a J-O-B you hate is self defeat, and there is no security in doing so.
Assuming a corporation or other entity can give you more security than what you would give yourself is saying a lot about what you think of your own abilities. There is no guarantee that the company you work for won’t close the doors or give you the boot next month!
I’m glad the world has employees because it’s nice to have grocery stores, gas stations, and book stores there when I need them. Not everyone is cut out to be an entrepreneur and that’s perfectly wonderful.
But those people who are capable of writing their own tickets and running their own ventures really irritate me when they start up with that whole “need a steady paycheck” crap. Here’s the deal…
Life is relatively short, and I’m not sure if we have more than one shot at it or not. I don’t remember being on planet earth before I was born in 1974, and I can’t be sure I’ll ever be here again after my body stops breathing.
On this note I’ll assume this is the only shot I’m ever going to have at being Timothy Aaron Whiston. Using this same logic I’ll assume that Mr. or Mrs. “would be an entrepreneur but I don’t trust myself to make a regular check” also gets only one turn at being who they are on this planet.
Why waste this time working in somebody else’s business when you have the skills and creativity required to do your own thing?
