Open your mind and take a brief journey with me....

Let's pretend that corporations didn't exist. Let's pretend you were doing the following first....
• Owned your own business.
• Made your own hours.
• Do something once, get paid continuously after your initial effort.
• Significant tax benefits because our founding fathers set up the original laws of this country to benefit business owners.
• Built relationships with people of your choice.
• Helped people by sharing things with them that could improve their lives.
• Spent as much time with the people most important to you as you wanted. (family & friends)
• If you decided to take a vacation, you just took it whenever you wanted.
• If you or someone you loved got sick or needed time off, you took as long as you needed.
• Whether you went on vacation, took a sick day or just decided to relax, you still got paid.
• You surrounded yourself with people that wanted you to succeed.
• You had mentors that would guide you to success.
• You personal development would be nurtured in a way to maximize your potential in every aspect of your life.
• Money would not be an issue in your life, even health care would be covered.

Then someone comes along and introduces something to you called a "corporation" and is offering you this new thing called "employment"...
• Set hours per week, usually 40.
• You only get paid while you are working. Get paid for one hour once. Can not make more money than the hours you work.
• No extra tax benefits.
• Time away from family and friends.
• Work with people you don't know or particularly care for.
• One or two weeks of vacation per year, provided it is pre approved, if at all and not during certain times of the year, especially the holidays.
• Vacation will likely be an unpaid vacation for many.
• Weekends may be required. Sometimes nights too.
• Unhealthy work environments common. (smoking, toxins, dangerous equipment, etc.)
• Limited number of sick days per year and doctor's note required in some cases.
• Salary capped. No getting paid what your worth
• Raises are seldom and often don't match the rate of inflation.
• No job security. (It's a right to work state, corporate downsizing so shareholders will be happy instead, someone will work for less, the boss doesn't like you, the corporation went out of business, etc.)
• Benefits taken away and there's nothing you can do about it.
• Office politics dictate whether you will receive a promotion. Rarely will your talent be the deciding factor.

Which one are you going to choose? People helping people or being leveraged by some corporation in order to increase their profit and pay their shareholders huge dividends? Would you rather build lasting relationships with people or continue to deal with a job that ultimately leads to barely getting by, year after year?

It's up to you. I've made the decision. I'm here to help when your sick and tired of being sick and tired. Decide. Commit. Succeed.


Take Care & Stay Healthy,
