Overcoming Employment Servitude

Habits are hard to beat. Being employed is a form of habit. Once we are "hooked" on it, it is difficult to break away. We become dependent on the paycheck, living from paycheck to paycheck. It becomes our "hopeium", hoping that we will rise through the ranks. For most of us, we are no more than employed slaves doing the biddings of our "master". Employment with slave wages is the most prevalent form of servitude in our modern world today. It is a legal form of exploitation.

I know these are strong statements but it is the truth. How else do you explain why morale amongst workers is so low? Everyone it seems want to leave their job but is afraid to. You cannot blame them because the economy "sucks" and opportunities are limited unless you are highly qualified in areas of the economy that are in high demand.

The question is, why is it so difficult to free ourselves from this employment slavery? What is it that makes us literally bust our chops for our employers knowing our rewards are minuscule, in the process makingthem rich. No doubt there are some benevolent employers out there and if you are lucky to be employed by them, I am happy for you. For the rest of us stuck with indifferent and heartless employers, what would it take to jump ship?

If a business opportunity with a tested successful formula is presented to you......would you bite? Would you at least investigate if it will work or would you just brush it off as a scam and continue with your voluntary employment servitude. If you are miserable at your work place there is no one to blame.

What makes an entrepreneur? What makes him/her see opportunities while others see obstacles? What makes him so willing to take risk so he can stay independent?

Do you have the answer?
