It takes money to make money. Duh. But How do you make money when there is no money to start with?
I was broke. In debt. No capital, no cash...
The only leverage I had was my time and my work (this is why millions of people keep wearing the handcuffs of hourly wages.)
When I was 24, my life was going for about $11 an hour. People all around me talked about “the security of a steady paycheck” as though steady and unchanging were a good thing. False illusion, as it often turnes out. People stay in the box because it’s safe there. And then they talk about needing to think “outside the box.” Ah, the irony of it.
But I, like you, have found an escape.
I understood that if I wanted to slip the handcuffs of hourly wages, I had to figure out how to be paid according to my abbilities and my accomplishments. Shift from “How long did it take you do this?” to “What is your acomplishment worth?"
People paid by the hour are paid for their activities. People paid royalties, license fees, and sales commissions are paid for their accomplishments. So I had to change!
It doesn't matter how long it takes to sell a house. We only get paid when (and if) we get the job done. Blessing and a curse. Rewards for results only, sure, but it beats the hourly handcuffs, if you ask me. By a mile!
Bottom line: Change makes us uneasy because we cannot see the future. BUT, financial death is the destination of those who refuse to change.
Are you ready for a change?
