The Top Ten
Reasons Working for Someone Else Is Not Smart
[Editor's
Note: I received the following via email from a fellow home-based
entrepreneur; it was credited to one Doug Firebaugh. (Thanks, Doug!)
I reproduce it as I received it and apologize in advance to those
of you who do not live in the United States. And especially to those
who live in Bangladesh!]
**Reason #
10:
You'll spend 90,000 hours of your life working for someone else so
you'll
get a gold watch and a really cool part-time job at Wal-Mart as a
greeter.
**Reason #
9:
Working about 40 hours a week, you'll spend 2,000 hours a year working
for your employer. In exchange you'll get 80 hours of vacation time
absolutely FREE!
**Reason #
8:
It's been a rough day. You're home relaxing, watching "America's
Most
Wanted" on TV and, to your horror, you realize the babysitter
you leave
your precious children with every day is on the FBI Top Ten Most
Wanted list!
**Reason #7:
You get up when you don't want to, drive someplace you don't want
to go,
and make a living working with people you really don't like.
**Reason #
6:
Would you be wearing something different if they didn't tell you how
to
dress?
**Reason #
5:
Your company may think it's really cool to let you go. "Newsweek"
Magazine
says firing people has gotten to be trendy in corporate America.
**Reason #
4:
Asking for time off is too much like asking your parents for permission.
**Reason #
3:
Good News. You've survived the downsizing. The bad news is that you
have to go home and tell the family you're being transferred to Bangladesh.
**Reason #
2:
Elephants work for peanuts - why should you? Shouldn't you be paid
what
you're really worth?
**Reason #
1:
Yes, the Number 1 reason why working for someone else is just plain
dumb: this is America and you don't have to! Yes, America is still
the
land of great opportunity but it's just not in the same place you're
used
to looking. You know, people who work half as hard as you do, and
are
earning great part-time incomes, taking dream vacations and even making
fistfuls of money. What's your excuse for not building your own successful
business?
What have
you got to lose except a BOSS?
[Editorial
Comment Department: Perhaps we can add another reason to this list.
Why work for someone else, when you can work for yourself doing something
you LOVE – sharing the joy and excitement of travel for fun and
profit?
If you still
haven’t made the decision to become a home-based travel agent,
why not make today the day. CLICK HERE.]
