The
truth is that an employee has absolutely no control over the security of his
job yet most people view a job as safer than owning a business. Why? It’s because someone else is responsible for
the money! Someone else holds the calculator, someone else has to monitor
the profits and loss, makes the decisions, and losses are someone else’s fault
therefore not to be worried about.
Trouble
is this complete lack of control gives the exact opposite of security.
People
think a business is less secure than a job because in a business they’ll be
solely responsible for any failure. In a traditional business there are huge
costs, long working hours, and no guarantee of earning any money at the end of
the month.
Luckily,
Network Marketing is not a traditional business!
With
plenty of businesses failing today after years of being profitable, the belief
that business is riskier is not totally unfounded. But the unemployment
figures, certainly in recent recession years tell a different story.
All
that has to happen for you to lose your job is for someone higher up in the
company to look at some unfavourable numbers and decide that layoffs must be
made. You could lose your job at a moment’s notice, and you get no say in the
matter! In reality, you could get fired for reasons not related to your
screwing up in some way, though it is often hard for someone to admit that. In a
business, nobody can take your income away. Nobody can limit how much you earn.
You aren’t forced to work with people you don’t like. In a job… everything can
vanish before your very eyes.
Thinking
that a job is more secure just means you are outsourcing the worry and business-sense
to someone else, and keeping your head down in order to collect a paycheck. And
sometimes, for some, those paychecks run out!
Do
you know that 60% of people admit to being unhappy with their jobs? Your income
is secure… right up until you’re no longer needed. Then you’re on your own. You
get no say over who you work with, how many hours you work, if they fire you,
when they fire you, and how much your time is worth. This means that business
owners and the self-employed working from home get far more control over time
and income than employees.
If
someone else gets to decide on all the important elements of your income, you don’t
have as much security as you might think…
If
you still think job security exists, take a glance at the newspaper, in almost
any part of the world, on any day of the week, in any week of the year. You will
be able to read stories of job losses, company closures, effects of recession
and economic downturns, and rising unemployment. These things are happening
every single day, and if you’ve not been affected by these issues then you’ve
been extremely lucky.
How
long will your savings sustain you if you lost your job tomorrow? Before you
know it you’re selling off things to keep going and before you know it
creditors are at the door, on phone, the bank is calling too… then you realize
you have to keep working in order to stay afloat. It’s like you’re in one of
those hamster wheels, you either keep on running or you fail and go bankrupt.
You
need to seize control of yourself, because you can’t rely on your job to
provide you with financial security!
You
can begin by earning some of your income outside of your job, even a small
portion. Have multiple streams of income, that way your financial prospects
would look very different. When you’re able to turn your time into profits and
not just wages you’ll see all kind of possibilities you never considered
before.
Looking
for security is wise, but the only security we can have is our ability to make
profit, either for ourselves or for someone else. No matter what you’re being
paid on the job, if you generate anything less than that your pay in value for
your boss, you’ll be gone. If you don’t generate more profit for the company
you work for than the value of what they pay you, you’re simply not going to be
kept around like some charity case.
Remember,
the only security we have is our ability
to make a profit, either for ourselves or for someone else.
We
can only rely on ourselves. It’s the only
security we have.
