We need to talk about the elephant in the room. It's clear --- the facts are right there screaming at us - the country is in a recession and things are going to get tougher for the working class. Yes, business too is hurting but what is the first thing they do? They lay the workers off, cut positions, cut hours, etc, but they are still in business. Even those businesses that do close their doors, the owners usually walk away unscathed. We are in a global economic melt down, and the people responsible for this mess, are being rewarded!
The $700 billion bail out ... yes it's a "bail out" ... no matter what they call it can be summed up as follows:
1. You and I will pay the tab for the multi-
million dollar CEOs greed and mistakes
2. You and I will pay the tab for the $700
billion in increased taxes and higher
inflation.
And with the additional $150 billion of tax breaks thrown in, the politicians can now claim they only voted to hand over $700B of your money because they wanted to cut taxes ...trying to buy us with our own money!!
But who's getting all these tax breaks?
Surprise, surprise ...the businesses get all the tax breaks ... not the
9 to 5 crowd. The working man always gets shaft while the business man always comes out smelling like a rose.
So the lesson you need to learn from this catastrophe ...the system is NOT in favor of the working stiff ... it's geared towards the business owner. The only way for you to get ahead in this "system" is to become a business owner too!
If you're tired of always being on the short end of the stick... then take control of your life and enjoy the many tax breaks and other goodies the government doles out to the business owners.
Become a business owner too!
Owning your own business can be an exciting and rewarding adventure. There is a tremendous feeling of accomplishment when you land your first client or make that first sale. It is the kind of feeling that you just want to keep getting over and over again
What does it take to be successful in this field? Ambition, personal drive, motivation, desire and perseverance are the forerunners. Without these, all the skills and experience in the world will not enable you to succeed. However, combine those with your personal skills and experience, and you will have what it takes.
Are you a self-starter? You alone are the one who will make this business a success or failure. The amount of time and energy you invest will determine just how successful you are with your business. Are you motivated enough to make things happen? In the beginning stages, a business will require a tremendous amount of hard work and long hours, often without immediate results. You need to be willing to invest that time and await the results with confidence.
You must be self-motivated and enjoy working with others. You have to discipline yourself right from the beginning not to get sidetracked watching soaps and sleeping in. After you are established, your workload will not permit this anyway.
Remember that success takes time. Very few businesses are overnight successes. It takes work, rethinking of ideas and carrying out your plans. Think of success as a marathon, not a sprint. There are no limitations. The more you put into the business, the more you will get out of it. You control your paycheck.
