Do you hate your job?

and people wonder where the jobs are going.. the people who would create jobs are finding the risk/reward analysis for building big enough to employ people doesn't pay at this point ..

I'm still a bit new to IM so I still work my day job, but I wouldn't say I hate it. I work at a grocery store and it does kind of suck. Even so, I try to look at it from the point of view that one I will be able to look back on it from a "higher place" so to speak. Thinking about what IM can do for me in the future once my business really gets off the ground actually makes me think I'll actually miss working minimum wage for some strange reason... Not that I want to stay there though - the second I surpasse what I make there with what what I make online I'm out and never looking back!

hmm, goooooooooood

A lady was on the Oprah show describing how she become a multi-millionaire.

She said she HATED her job with a passion. She worked for a maid service & said, "I hated cleaning toilets." She said she was miserable everyday.

Unable to find other work, she decided to be thankful for her job & she started "cleaning toilets" with a great attitude. She said once her attitude shifted to the positive, she saw the opportunities in that line of work & she started her own company.

She went on to build her own maid service into one of the largest home cleaning businesses in the North/East & sold the company for $38,000,000!!

Instead of hating your job, maybe look at the benefits it offers. Even if it's only that you are able to keep a roof over your head. (that is a huge blessing!) Or, that it gives you seed capital to start your own biz.

When I was in college I worked at UPS for 2yrs, & I didn't appreciate it. I made myself miserable with a poor attitude about unloading thousands of packages on the midnight shift. A guy I worked with loved the job & moved on to become a driver & with the good income he was earning he launched a Real Estate sales biz. He went on to become one of the most successful realtors in our city & UPS helped him launch his biz. ( It's all in how you choose to look at things...)

Life experience has taught me that no one can piss you off, make you miserable or unhappy, unless you allow them to! We make the decision to react negatively to their behavior.

A j-o-b is for a wage slave. With only a few notable exceptions (professional athlete, big money CEO, et cetera), nobody should desire or plan to remain in a j-o-b until "retirement" (which is a negative word, if one looks it up). Most of us need to begin our professional career with a j-o-b and that's fine, and necessary to our economy anyway. However, the objective for nearly everyone should be working one's way up to a status of self-employed, business owner, or "financially independent". That's an objective that, I think, people should tell themselves that they desire to fulfill by or before age 45.

We all know that the reality is that the vast majority of people aren't going to do this. Another hard reality: whether we like it or not, there is an hierarchy on the Earth. We want to be Warriors so that we can be in the top part of that hierarchy.

You're very lucky man.

It's great that you are able to be thankful for what you've received.

Haha I do exactly the same thing (listen to podcasts, motivational audios) on my ipod while at my dead end job It's not too bad actually.....for now.
