Why don’t you get a job?

I believe almost every adult all over the world have been asked with this question.  A question that is both irritating and challenging, the question “Why don’t you get a job?”

This small world we live in is composed of different people with different reasons for living and different goals at hand.  Some are happy being employees, some are self-employed, some are businessmen, and yet others are investors.  However, there are also those who are jobless in every sense of the word.  But do you know that most of the rich and wealthy are actually jobless?  Better yet, do you know that they became rich by being jobless?

Perplexed?  Don’t be.  Let me explain.  There are types of jobless people - the poor & jobless and the rich & jobless.  On the poor side of the jobless town, we have those who don’t have a single cent to spend and are very very very very (add 1 million more very[s] here) frustrated with their current situation.  They will definitely grab and kind of job as long as it brings food to the table.  I know this because I used to be like this and I know a handful who went beyond the limits of law just to get money.  The poor & jobless are those we see almost everyday.  I guess I don’t need to exagerrate any further.

On the other hand, we have the rich & jobless.  They are rich because they decided to be jobless.  They are rich because they no longer work.  Don’t get me wrong, they didn’t become rich by being lazy.  It’s just that they saw the better part of being jobless and that is called freedom.  Why do I see that the truly rich are jobless?  Look at them.  They spend their time at their own leisure.  They play golf and travel the world for pleasure.  And yet they are rich.  You know why?  Because somebody else or something else is working for them.  Somebody or something funnels money into their pockets and they need not to worry about it all the time.

But, isn’t being employed a good thing?  It is, especially if it’s the only choice you have at the moment.  But being an employee can also make you poor.  This brings us to another type of person - the ‘employed & poor’ kind of person.  Note that employment does not guarantee you wealth.  What it guarantees you is a job and that job may or may not make you rich.  “How can being an employee make me rich?”, you ask.  Simple, by getting in your path to richness.

If you’re a business-minded person, then you know that tasks and deadlines always eat away most of your time.  That’s what a job is all about - tasks and deadlines.  When your job eats your time then you can’t focus your energies into building that dream business of yours.  In other words, you have to look for a way to work less and earn more and that can easily be achieved by building a business.

Furthermore, do you know that a businessman is not really jobless?  In other words, businessmen would only fit partially into the world of the rich & jobless.  A businessman still has tasks to handle and deadlines to meet.  Though they work a lot less and earn a lot more than the average employee, they still have some jobs to do.  The true rich & jobless are the investors.  Investors are the ones who really are jobless yet rich.  How do they do it?  Simple, they let their money work for them.  They invest in businesses and through this way, their money earns more money without them having to spend a single second worrying about how the business runs.  If ever investors do work, the only part of their body that works is their brain.  They think and decide - that’s what they do.  The rest of their schedule is whatever they want it to be.

So, why don’t I get a job?  Because in my case, a job will just cast my financial freedom farther from my view.  By focusing on building plans on how I could materialize my ideas, I may at the point suffer a bit more than the employed but I do believe that I will do better than most of them in the end.  I hope to come to a point in my life when I am driving my family to vacation singing songs along the way while my peers who laughed at me and asked me “why don’t you get a job?” continue to toil and work in the offices they work in.

Finally, I’m not in any way saying that everybody should do as I do.  If you think you should do the same, I want you to think a million times before you quit your job and jump into the fast lane.
