People give up freedom for consistent income
Iam not surprised to hear that so many people are bored in their jobs. Several studies out of the US have shown that most heart attacks occur on a Monday, when people are returning to work. People are waking up in the morning and dreading going to the job they hate.
As an entrepreneur, for me work is about creating something that you want to wake up and do every single day. There is a quote by Friedrich Nietzsche: “If you know the why, you can live any how.”
So, if you believe in your why – why you want to work, then you’ll be more likely to overcome the things you have to do to achieve it. But if you don’t believe in the why then you have no purpose.
Being an entrepreneur is really hard. Having a cozy job is consistent. That’s the key – consistency. That’s the big difference. As an entrepreneur, you have moments of incredible highs and incredible lows. People in jobs know when that payment is coming in and they know when their bills go out. Confucius said: “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” I’ll add to that: until the bills come in. That’s the hard reality of life. You can find something you love and do it, but wait till those bills come in.
Like everything else in life, jobs are about compromise. So, for a cosy job, you are giving up freedom for a consistent income.
It is very rare, but there are some people who find a job that they love that also lets them make an income. But that is clearly not the majority. From Mr Damu Winston An entrepreneur living in Dubai
