I remember back in high school when the Apprentice was on and Trump’s 5 laws were stated (i forgot the other 4) but one of them that stuck with me was ‘YOU ARE POOR BECAUSE OF THE POOR CHOICES YOU MADE IN LIFE”. and I took it to heart.
and one of them was “you cannot get rich working for someone else”. Yeah, that one I used to make my own company.
I started my own business 30 years ago. Decided to see if I was as smart as I thought I was. I’ll never be rich but have had a comfortable life. Most important, I’ve been able to train my clients so that our efforts are collaborative and provide positive results for both of us. There is absolutely no way I could work in the corporate environment any more and certainly would never want to.
There is a niche out for everyone providing they have the self-discipline, some creative abilities, don’t mind hard work and sometimes long hours.
