little for a lot? A lot for someone so little.
Do what you desire, not what you're told.
Do what inspires you, not what will make you money.
Do something you enjoy, and inevitably you will get good at it. money comes later.
Seriously, why must people give such a bad rap to companies like primerica and amway, and everything they call pyramid "Schemes"? get rich quick "schemes". everyone equates that with something illegal and the only reason I can find at the heart of all of their best explanations is what Max Weber wrote about the The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism:
Only through strenuous work is one granted a true place in heaven. (the good life)
You are compensated in direct proportion to how much work you put in.
anything that doesn't fit these guidelines is WRONG. or so it goes. (and so goes what I remember from my expensive education)
Guess what friends, you can "get rich quick" doing anything if you know how. The only reason less than 1% of the world's population have control over 98% percent of the money in the world is because they know what you don't. they know the secrets of making money, and keeping money and it's in their best interest not to tell you.
THe big secret is that those "schemes" take a lot of a different KIND of hard work. whether you believe it or not. mostly they require people skills, direct contact, interpersonal relations... hell, it's a lot like selling a car to be honest, and I've been aquainted well with that, and with Amway through my parents growing up, and Now Through Primerica, and when you think about it, car salesman make HUGE money off of you. and it takes a certain kind of person to pull that off. In no way am I cheating anything by finding financial freedom at the age of 25 - You just have to believe that "hard work" doesn't necessarily take "time", or physical strain... as anyone who has written any kind of test can tell you, or who has had to make a choice that involed someone's safety or possibly their life; some of the hardest work in life takes only a second, or even a few hours and can leave you far more exhausted than eight hours of manual labour could ever do.
It also takes very little effort to go with the flow. doing something that has not been done, or is beneficial but done very little, is therefore worthy of great compensation... Using this logic.
... but no one sees it that way. Somehow there must be something you don't know - the truth is you have to work hard for very little compensation at first, in order to work harder as things go along until suddenly things break free and you are making huge amounts of money, for very little effort. I assume that most people miss out on how difficult it is during the former, and therefore assume that it's wrong. maybe it's both. either way it's frustrating.
Now I'm tired and I haven't really done anything. see. all I did was try to explain my frustrations and it was hard work. I only burned about 110 calories writing this STUPID post but I feel like I've run a mile. and in a sense, I have probably done something far more difficult than all of the work I'm going to put in tommorrow cooking at Red Robin.
