Employees are everywhere. If you are looking to get out of your job, you are an employee. Most of the people you know or deal with daily is employees. There is nothing wrong with being an employee. The problem is that most of us never knew what the alternatives are or that they have a choice. In fact, there are some serious limitations to being an employee but most of us just go along blindly assuming that it is the best path for them. Since most of our associations are with employees and our education system is geared to creating employees, most of us buy into the employee mindset early in life. We model our parents, our neighbors and out peers.
It’s the limitations of the employee job market that is causing more and more people to ask if there isn’t a better way. Jobs aren’t secure and long lasting like they used to be and the pay and benefits aren’t keeping up with inflation. Then there are the taxes.
Whatever the reason that has you surfing the web looking for other ways to develop income, you are here because you want more out of life. You want to know what alternatives are open to you and what it takes to do them. Your first stop should be Robert Kiyosaki’s Cash Flow Quadrant. Robert can teach you all about the four ways that you can make money. Just to get you interested here is the elevator pitch version.
There are four ways to make money today: Employee and self-employed make up the left side of the diagram with 95% of the people and 5% of the income. Self employed is similar to employee in that self-employed people trade time for money. You are limited by the number of hours each day. Business owner and investor make the right side with 5% of the jobs and 95% of the income. Business owners develop a system that generates income without the direct intervention of the owner once the system is set up (think toll bridge as an analogy). Investors are people who already have money. It’s where we want to be but to get there we become business owners. Now the question is pretty simple. Which side do you want to be on?
The problem is that our education system is designed to create employees. It’s an industrial age system creating obsolete products now that we are in the information age. If we don’t even know what we don’t know about other business opportunities, how can we make decisions that will provide financial security for our families over the next 50 years? If we don’t know that there are other kinds of business we certainly can’t know how they are different. It is this knowledge that allows individuals to build a business system that can grow and produce income without their active participation.
Why would anyone choose to trade time for money on the left side when they can create an income generation system? It is because they don’t know how or where to find someone who can teach them.
Now that you have heard the elevator pitch version of the Cash Flow Quadrant, get a copy and read all the details from Robert Kiyoasaki. Then come back to JOB and plug in.
Knowledge is key and that is what you will find at JOB. If you want to make the move to the left side of the chart, let’s get started.
