I have great ideas, what to do with them?

I totally agree, not everyone wants to be entrepreneur, I know that, for one thing, that I don't want to be one myself, though I think in certain stage probably it will be the way to go, as away to spread the word and teach others what I do.

The people that I know take things personal, when they see someone their age or younger and live in a nice neighborhood or has the privilege to spend more time with the family, especially when you already know how my life was before, it wasn't too bad and it wasn't too good, I had my shares of struggles, made definitely sacrifices and I want them to them to learn all the pros and cons, God had a hand on all of this and it was not just me, I am no one without God grace, but there was also a logic happening as well, not just the blessings or the wishful thinking.

The funny thing is, I am selling anything to anyone and I am not getting anyone jobs, I want them to use same resources that I used and feel free to work on different projects for different companies as they see fit, this allows them a great deal of freedom and flexibility in their work. Yes, they are also at risk of being fired at any time if they do not meet the standards of the company they are providing their services to, but for those who thrive on variety and challenge, the independent contractor lifestyle can be very rewarding.

It's not that I care what work they do presay, the thing is these friends were my classmate, work mates, we used to hang out every weekend, most of them just like me, married with a family, and I just feel like they are worth more than what they are getting from the jobs, some of them are bankers, accountants, lawyers, and with their skills, they can provide lots of services to small, medium, family-owned businesses, I am not asking them to leave their jobs, but the stress I keep hearing, made feel like, these people and their families deserve more than just the 9-5 job.

I didn't leave my 9-5 job just like that, I kept it for 2 years while I am doing this safe transition to have this flexibility that I have now. I had the chance to be watching my baby girl growing every second, being here next to my wife while she is going through pregnancy, and so on. Just being there whenever I am needed.

I am not even talking about passive in come like many "Gurus" who have the skills to generate this passive income, I just want them to learn how to do what they are doing but instead of doing it only for the company they work for, do it for other companies who cannot afford to hire companies like yours.

Again, I just want them to lean that internet is not only FB and YouTube.

Thank for sharing your point of view. Indeed, there's nothing wrong with having a "Corporate Job" and I believe all jobs are important. My friends who are classmates and workmates, we have known each other for decades, they see the internet as social media and YouTube and nothing more.

Though, I am not getting anyone jobs, I want them to use same resources that I used and feel free to work on different projects for different companies and earn more money for their families, for sure it's up to them to choose their path, I just feel like it's time to know what they missing out there, I am not even going to ask them to leave their job, that will be insane. They just need how to do what they are doing at work but instead of doing it only for the company they work for only, they might as well do it for other businesses who cannot afford to hire companies like theirs.

I know it's not easy, it took me 2 years to feel secured enough to do this safe transition to be independent contactor, so have more flexibility and this life balanced they want.

That's a very good point. Thank you for sharing this. The thing is I am selling anything to anyone and I am not getting anyone any jobs, I want them to use same resources that I used and feel free to work on different projects for different companies as they see fit ty and challenge, the independent contractor lifestyle can be very rewarding, yes you can loose a project or two but who doesn't.

I am not even talking about passive in come like many "Gurus" have the skills to generate this passive income, I just want them to learn how to do what they are doing but instead of doing it only for the company they work for, do it for other companies who cannot afford to hire companies like theirs.

I liked the idea of the presentation, my only problem is, these are my buddies, they are not used that kind of talk with me. I guess in certain point, they will ask me where to start, and I don't mind to do so, again I am not selling, I just have several jobs at the same time and I can enjoy my weekend.

Thanks again, this was very helpful.

I know I've mentioned it before ... However I love the "Definition" of Success being: "The progressive realisation of a worthy ideal." That can be everything from The Pizza Delivery Boy ― who loves meeting up with his Dad for pizza and wants to share all that happiness by delivering pizza ... Or maybe the single Mom who has decided to me a World-Class Mom.

As I said before .. There are no unimportant Jobs ... Just unimportant People. (Kind of.)

P.S. When you can demonstrate that you're successful online ... That should interest most People.

I agree with you. Thanks for sharing this with me. It is a risky change indeed giving up a secured job with all the benefits they are getting. It took me 2 years to feel secured enough to do this safe transition to be independent contactor, so I can have more flexibility and this life balanced we are all looking for.

I just want them to learn how to do what they do but instead of doing it only for the company they work for, do it for other companies who cannot afford to hire companies like theirs.

It will take some time, maybe it will take them even longer than me, but while they are waiting, they will make enough money that will help them to decide which route they choose to take.

Thanks again Mr. The Man With No Name, if only I know your name so I can thank you!

Thank you for comment, it was really satisfying and straight to the point.

Indeed I took my time to evaluate things and putting in consideration the pros and cons before I take a leap of faith and answering the "What's in it for me?" kind of question.

Being independent contactor makes me has the freedom to work with several companies providing pretty much the services that I have used to provide in my long career with corporates with different niches, using set of skills I was able to develop along with way, which I am grateful for each company I have worked with, but when you realize that there is a cap I cannot pass, you start to question things.

You are right, they may have no interest in making such a transition such as myself.

Thanks again, I really appreciate your thoughtful insight.

Adam

Thank you for sharing with with me, I agree with you that probably I need to set down them and show them a real proof of making better income, and that's up to them to decide what's best for them.
