Doing Business In Not Scary Not Doing Though It Is!
See I hear a lot of people say “you know doing business is scary and risky.” Really? How’s is that? So let’s say you are not doing the “scary thing” AKA owning your business and work for the man. Yeah I know the feeling. You just were about to get on you new Ferrari and stop by the nice wine bar to say high to a bunch of friends. You know just your casual afternoon. You put on your sports cackies, and a casual shirt. The breeze outside is nice gently gliding your hair. The sun is worm and welcoming. You decide to put that red top down. After all, why you have a red Ferrari if you don’t show it off ones in a while. You get in the car and just savor the moment. The smell of the leather and a new car it all puts you in a new dimension. You get your hands on the start button. It’s really exciting to think of the power available under that big hood. Heart pumping and tongue glued to the roof of your mouth you do it. You press that button with your hands sweating. The engine raves. The powerful throttle sound fills the air. You test your luck and just rave the engine one more time. You can’t believe it but us true! You pinch yourself to make sure it’s not one of those weird moments or dreams. BUT…it’s true you are living the life. The red color stops the eye of everyone you pass. In a matter of fact they are pissed cause of your possession. You rave the engine passing some cute girls. Every stoplight is your play zone. Couple of guys sit in the corner lane looking at you and giving a sign they want to race. You are thinking “today is not your lucky day.” You lightly spin the tires, the car takes off like a bullet. You can’t see the people that wanted to race. But something started to feel weird. The sun, the smell of new car, the racing engine noise…it all started to kind of fade. The experience became a little dull engine seems to be less powerful. It’s one of these things you know. You touch the will one more time just to make sure you are in the car. And then it happened. You woke!Yes like in your pjs! The dreaded alarm took you out of your sweet beautiful dreams. Like a little obedient drone you got out of your bed, got in your beat up car and headed. Headed for a two hours of traffic to see people that you hate and a place that you dread. You repeat the nonsense day in and day out. See that vicious circle of fear will not end by itself. It’s not that you are cursed or somehow destined to do it. Just. you are so used to it you don’t know any other live form exists.
So you have a choice. Be scared and shake at every single opportunity that can take you out of your misery. Tremble and just envy the “crooked” business people. You know people biggest fear is being scammed. You see, all these ads on tv at night and you are like “thank God I’m not participating in this nonsense and won’t be scammed.” Well you already have been scammed. The biggest scam is participating in the system. You know it. Go to school, get a good job, boats cars family etc… Well this magical formula is no longer valid. You can do it, but it’s an empty promise. The educational institutions in US are the only stores that can sell banana shells instead of bananas and still get away with it. I mean think about it. Would you go to the store and pay full price for just banana peals with no banana inside? I can hear a resounding “NO.” But that what people buy every day for their kids. Kids get big student loans to pay with “no delay” till they can’t stand it, but still repeat the snare and a chain with their kids. Empty expensive promises for $200-$300k. Learn a skill and practice it. Practice it more and more and become better than 80% of the people doing the same thing. You can stay small or expand as much as you want. Don’t be deceived the government don’t care about you, nether you should really on your employer. This doesn’t mean that people don’t love you or don’t like you. It just means that you need to take care of You. Learn the system, skill or fake it till you make it. But please don’t complain and compare with the souls that dare to be just a little braver than you are!
