Anyone ever tell you to get a job? Have you ever said those words to yourself? I have before, but not any more. I’m going to share with you just a little bit of the outlook I’ve developed over the last few years…relating specifically to getting a job.

You see, I have rejected the system. I’ve done this for one simple reason: It doesn’t work for me. So, why not adapt to it? I am pretty flexible. But I’m not going to adapt to that way of life. Why should I let someone else’s seemingly arbitrary idea of how my life should play out run my day to day existence? I reject the system.

What about you? How do you feel about a “job?” My mom — well rooted in the Industrial Age — is alwasy asking me about benefits and insurance. What’s the big deal? Why should I have a job to get health care? Do I really need some corporate “parent” to take care of me? My mom always asks, “what about benefits?” when I tell her about running my own company. She’s always talking about health insurance.

For those of you wondering, yes, there are plenty of ways to get affordable health care without resorting to getting a job or going on welfare. But that’s a topic for another post, so I’m not going to go into it now.

What I want you to do is to change how you think, and how you react to certain situations. Don’t count on some company to take care of you. Instead, take care of yourself. You’re not a child any more. In our society, we have become dependent on some institution — someone is always going to be there to take care of us. They give us a check, they give us health coverage, they give us this and that…but for what? A just-barely-enough paycheck?

I reject the system.

Change your mode of thinking. When times are tough and you need some money, don’t say, “I need to get a job,” or, ” I need a better paying job.” You should be saying things like, “I need to start my own company,” or, “I should expand my product line to increase my monthly cash flow.”

What I’m suggesting to you is self-reliance. Take care of yourself and dictate your own future.
