You vs. The Corporation

If you’re like me, you’re sick of corporate America! I have a really hard time with unrealistic expectations put on people. Here’s an example.

A person I know is a manager for a smaller entity of a very large corporation. He is allotted only so many hours to schedule his employees. He is a man down, meaning he is one employee shy to run the business properly. He’s not allowed to pay any overtime to his people & he himself is not allowed to work more than 48 hours per week. There is a hiring/wage freeze. The place is allowed only one employee at a time, who is responsible for keeping the inside up as well as the outside, the restroom too, which is accessible only from the outside, as well as stay on the register to care for the customers. Might I add, there are lots of customers since the place is very busy with not much “down time”. The secret shopper shows up during the busy time and is expecting a picture perfect environment. A percentage of the score is lowered for EVERY infraction and don’t think for a moment that the manager’s boss isn’t all over him for every one of them. Corporate institutions make more and more impossible expectations from their “people”. Those who “do” meet all the criterion are either lying on their reports or breaking some company policies. It’s impossible to meet the expectations and not! I think you get the picture. It may even sound familiar.

Can anyone wonder why there are so many stress related illnesses when most folks work this way? …when the bottom line is MORE important than those who are actually doing the work and creating profits?…when the worker is constantly in fear of loosing his job for no real reason other than getting someone else to the same job for less pay?  I have worked for companies where they wanted higher turnover so they wouldn’t have to increase wages for loyal employees.  It was actually cheaper in the quick fix, to constantly train new people.

I would much rather work for myself, take responsibility for my own actions (or inactions), be responsible only to me and those I choose to. If I’m going to have stress, I’d rather it be self imposed instead of have it imposed upon me.

After a couple of years of learning, experimenting, testing, I now make a living online. Even during my learning days when hardly any income was flowing my way,, I felt so much better about my life. I was creating my own reality, not allowing someone else the power over me. I developed respect for myself and others who do not fit into the expected, working a J.O.B. (Just Over Broke). Don’t get me wrong, I work, and sometimes long hours, but it’s something I create, enjoy and desire to share the new found freedom.

What do I do? I teach people how to make money apart from having a job. I teach how to make money with your own business. It doesn’t matter what that business is or if there is no business yet.

Sound interesting? Check out this video my friend Frank made. He explains it all very well.

How You Can Find the Financial Success You're Seeking

Not long ago, I received a question from a customer that
went something like this (I've edited out the personal
details):

"Tony, I would really like to ask you a question and
hopefully you will provide me a very honest answer."

"I see many different opportunities available everyday via
the mail, email, media, promotions, ebooks, etc."

"Tony, I have a family to support and I want you to know
that I am a born-again Christian and have a very good
personal relationship with Jesus everyday of my life."

"My problem is that I have searched and searched and I
continue to search for a way to earn a good living for my
family so my wife can quit working. HOW can I truly find the
prosperity that God promises and wants for his children?
What can I do in life?"

"I just got fired today after trying in-home sales and not
meeting my monthly quota! I am NOT a high pressure salesman,
but I do want to provide people with a good product or
service. I really need to find a solution! Is it to start a
website and provide info or products? I would GREATLY
appreciate your honest answer!"

This question really boils down to...

"What can or should I *do* in life to find the financial
success I'm seeking for me and my family?"

It's an excellent question and one I'm asked practically
every single day in one way or another.

In his book "The Personal Power Course", Wallace D. Wattles,
best known for his classic masterpiece "The Science of
Getting Rich", wrote:

"... you must know what you want to do. First, choose your
business. Choose the one that seems most in line with your
tastes, and which will require the use of your strongest
faculties. Select for your life work the thing you most WANT
to do. Do not become possessed by the idea that you must be
fixed by circumstances in some business or profession which
you do not like, and barred out from the one which you WOULD
like. Even though you are making money, you are not
successful so long as you are doing something you do not
like to do, and not doing the thing you want to do. The man
who feels that he is misplaced is neither wealthy nor
successful. Perhaps the most essential part of wealth-
culture consists in finding the place where you will be
happy in your work. If you are not happy in your work, you
are a slave."

And, therein lies the key...

If you want to get rich, however you define rich for
yourself, it's vitally important for you to decide what
*you* want to do based on what you *like* to do.

Here's the deal...

You can get rich in *any* business or profession.

Let me repeat that...

You can get rich in *any* business or profession!

Don't believe me?

Just take a look around you and you'll see there are people
who got rich in *every* conceivable business and profession.

No further proof is necessary.

So...

Since it's obvious you can get rich in any business or
profession, why not chose a business or profession which you
like?

You see...

Most people have this backwards. They put the "cart before
the horse", so to speak.

They decide they want to get rich and immediately start
looking for a way or ways to make more money without any
regard whatsoever to what they like to do or, just as
important, what they *don't* like to do.

In other words...

They look for a business or profession to get into based
purely on the money they think they can make.

Now...

This may work for some.

However...

It's never worked for me.

Whenever I've done anything purely for the money, which is
exactly what I spent the majority of my life doing, not only
was I absolutely miserable in the process but every single
time, without exception, I failed!

So...

My "honest answer" is this...

First...

Ignore *all* the so-called "opportunities" floating around
out there. More often than not, these so-called
"opportunities", regardless of whether they're online or
offline "opportunities", are nothing more than the
opportunity for someone else to get your hard-earned money!

Second...

Sit down and decide what it is *you* like to do.

Third...

*Think* of a way or ways to earn money doing what you like
to do.

Although you may have to develop some abilities, skills, or
talents to earn money doing what you like to do and/or you
may have to temporarily do something you don't like to do to
earn money while you're working towards earning money doing
what you like to do...

Ultimately...

Doing what you like to do, combined with constructive
thought and constructive action, will bring you the
financial success you're seeking for you and your family.

In my studies in forming my own mindset for making money, I came across a very unique author.  Ted Gambordella is his name.  I found him through The Mentors Club (which I highly recommend).  He is a holder of several black belts in martial arts as well as a staunch Christian.  This is a big plus in my book because it says to me that he’s gone beyond “Churchianity” by being open minded enough to study spirituality  from different perspectives.  Anyway, what he says in his book makes 100% sense to me.  Let’s start off with a quote.

The authors of these books warn us that if we don’t maintain this PMA (Positive Mental Attitudes), we will surely
fail to become successful.. These books are very popular, but why are there so many of
them? If the PMA theory worked, wouldn’t one well-written text be enough? Browse
through any book store and there is an entire section on PMA. You may attend lectures
and seminars or buy tapes on PMA, but you will still be broke, and probably become
frustrated as well.
There are enough problems with PMA to fill a library. This book touches on the
most obvious. More importantly, this book will explain how successful people got that
way, and how you can use the same power to become successful. This power is the same
power that runs the universe. It is called an Obsessive Mental Attitude (OMA). There is
only one reason you have not become successful. It is that YOU HAVE NOT HAD AN
OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL THAT YOU PURSUED WITH AN
OBSESSIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE.
Let me say something that is very important that you understand as you read this
book. Many of you might be thinking, Oh, sure, Obsession is the real secret of success.
Great, I KNEW that already, so what? But you don’t know that; you didn’t know that. If
you are thinking that, you don’t know that at all. What you in fact knew about the mental
secrets of success is all wrong. You believed, and have been led to believe, that the
mental secret to success is to begin with a positive mental attitude, maintain it throughout
your effort, put in the hours, do the work, and you will succeed. That is simply not true;
it is wrong from the start. You may begin with a positive mental attitude, but you cannot
stay positive, put in the hours, and do the work, so you won’t succeed. The proof is
shown in the number of times you have tried in vain to succeed using their program for
success, despite your best PMA efforts.

I too have been falling into that and even actively promoting it!  I still do as I find it to have a positive influence on my life but so far, NOT in the areas I want it to  ie.  making enough money to retire on.  I’ve got only 5 years left for that and I spent all of my previous savings for retirement moving to my current location to care for my elderly father who recently passed away.  WOW, that was a long sentence!  NOW I must become OBSESSIVE!  How about you?  How do you become obsessive about making money or anything else for that matter?  See if what Ted says makes sense to you:

Only when your “dream” is an Obsession will you make it your
possession.
Let me ask you to fill out a better list, instead of writing a list of the things you
would do, if you were sure you could not fail, or if money was no object. Make a list of
the things you would not like to lose at any cost, in fact make a list of the things you
would sacrifice for to keep, and make a list of the things you would die for. This is a real
list of things that you would work to get, and are working to get, and will work to get,
and it doesn’t matter the amount of money necessary, or the time or effort necessary. You
list is your personal list of your Obsessions. For some it may include children, and for
the millionaires it will include your work. For all it will include air, food, water, health,
freedom, security, happiness, a home, etc. The other stuff, the stuff on your “dream PMA
list” is not on this list, and that is why you don’t have it.

With an Obsessive Mental Attitude you will NOT be influenced by either a positive or negative thought.  They will be deflected but you remain steadfast on what your obsession is, your focus.   NOTHING can or will stop you.  You will not give up when discouraged because you will get what you are obsessed about no matter what!  Think of any really successful person you know.  Do they possess this quality?  You bet they do!

I hope this has helped you see that you are NOT a failure.  You need only to incorporate obsession to achieve your desires.  Hmmm,  Now the question is “How badly DO I want what I want?”
