DOES YOUR JOB SUCK SURVEY RESULTS


The results are in and it appears that 80% of the people who took the survey thinks their job absolutely sucks! That is a staggering amount of people who are miserable on a daily bases. Now that we establish that the majority of the population does not like what they do for a living, let's see how many of those people will actually take action to resolve this issue and gain financial freedom. In my opinon, if your job sucks, then your life sucks. The reason why is everything revolves around your job.

  • Where you live (people don't live in the hood because it's a fun place to be)
  • How much money you make (Good luck trying to be a multi millionaire working for somebody else's company)
  • What type of person you date ( I doubt if Halle Barry is riding around the ghetto in a 2010 Bentley looking for her soul mate who probably works at McDonald mopping up the number 2 some homeless person left on the bathroom floor. When i say number 2, I ain't talking about no Big Mac meal neither.LOL)
  • Health (Ever try to buy expensive health food on a budget?)
  • People who you associate with ( More then likely your friends and family are just as broke as you are. If you try to conjure up ideas to escape the rat race with these people then it will be a case of the blind leading the blind. Rich people can exchange ideas on how they successfully make money with each other and keep progressing)
  • Vacation (Your job dictates when and where you can take a vacation. It's very hard to visit Japan when all your credit cards are maxed out from paying living expenses and your checking account has $670 worth of overdraft fees. Let's not forget the fact that if your job denies your vacation request, you will be sitting right at your cubicle with a post card from Hawaii stapled to your wall, imaging yourself there in a beach chair with the breeze cooling you off.
  • Time (You most likely spend more time with co- workers then your own kids)
  • Stress (When you beat the hell out of your 2 year old for spilling grape juice on the floor or ramming a tuna fish sandwich in your DVD player, you are not really that mad at them. They don't even know what a DVD player is for crying out loud. You probably are mad at the fact that you were stuck in traffic for 3 hours and your kids are just an outlet. Everyday you are pushed around by your boss, co-workers, parents, spouse, creditors, etc. You feel powerless because a lot of these sources of stress take your power from you. That's why people turn around and disrespect the bank teller, the guy at the fast food register taking your order, waiters, and their own kids. They don't do it because these people are necessarily incompetent at their jobs or done anything wrong. They do it because they have power over these people and can fight back. It's a cycle that keeps perpetuating through society. I had jobs at the age of 16 where some idiot would bitch and make a scene because the lettuce on his hamburger was room temperature or his french fries weren't hot enough to give the inside of his mouth 4th degree burns. Next time you roundhouse your 12 year old son for forgetting to take the trash out or choke slamming your 16 year old daughter for accidentally erasing one of your messages on your answering machine, think about how earlier that day your boss screamed in your ear because you forgot to put 2 packs of sweet and low in his coffee. Think about how you could have told your boss to "kiss your ass" but instead you put your tail between your legs like you always do while he verbally cut your balls off with a rusty butter knife.Thats' the real reason why you are pissed at the world

GROUNG HOG DAY 2 COMING SOON!


Remember the movie Ground Hog Day starring Bill Murray? Do you remember how no matter what he did he kept waking up to the same repetitive day everyday? He would wake up at the same exact time, and see the same exact people, and engage in the same exact conversations in the same exact location for what seemed like an eternity. Does this remind you of anybody you know?

Since your life is exactly like this movie because you chose to conform and get a boring typical job, you can be in the sequel! The greatest thing about you making the sequel is you don't have to pay Bill Murray his $ 10 million for staring in it. You also don't have to get a large budget from Warner Brothers, MGM , or any other major movie studios! All you have to do is dust off your old digital camera or purchase one from Best Buy for a couple hundred dollars. After that, find someone to record your everyday activities for about a year. I bet your life will be just like that movie won't it. Wake up, drink coffee, get stuck in traffic, work for 8 hours, get stuck in traffic on the way home, eat dinner, watch TV and go to sleep. The next day do the same thing, and everyday after that for the whole time you film your life.

Congratulations you are now a star! See how you easily changed a negative into a positive. I suggest you take advantage of this opportunity while Reality Television is still hot. Can you vision your face plastered on those tall billboards? Ground Hog Day 2 starring __________ in theaters this summer.

Ground Hog Day and Office space are best movies that I seen that can accurately describe how I felt "working for the man everyday". I know how it feels like your in the Twilight Zone or some type of dimension that you can't escape from. Keep pushing forward and you will make it out of there just like Bill Murry's character did.

TELL THEM THE TRUTH OPRAH!





Have you ever notice how major public figures like Oprah, Bill Cosby,and Suze Orman never give you the full scoop on money? They never just tell their viewers point blank " you will never achieve the amount of success and obtain the amount of money I have working at a job and going to college". Don't get me wrong, Oprah and a lot of other TV Host offer a lot of excellent advice for their viewers but I believe they should show them the big picture that will change their overall life. From time to time I hear them give advice on how to pinch pennies and reduce bills which is great but that will only band aid the average person's financial situation. Bottom line, if you are not thinking outside the box and seeking ways to completely break free from the rat race then you are in BIG TROUBLE! Maybe Oprah, Bill Cosby and Suze Orman are too old school and have been rich so long that their tactics are outdated and they don't know what the hell they are talking about anymore. When was the last time they worked a 14 hour shift for $8/hour with their boss breathing down their necks complaining about an email you forgot to send out back in Sept 1995 AD or how you took a 32 minute lunch break instead of 30 minutes? How often are they stuck in traffic on the beltway with diarrhea, migraine, lack of sleep and a bad case of the swine flu and bird flu combined headed to a job they hate while roasting in a car with no AC during the hottest day off the summer that has broken windows that only roll down just enough to let the exhaust from the car in front of them seep in while the CEO of the company you work for is some where on a yatch in Bermuda drinking a glass of Colt 45 having sex with your favorite actress/model that you fantasize about every night while your currently arguing on your cell phone with your unattractive overweight wife (that you settled for) about how you forgot to take the trash out this morning with your kids screaming in the background? When was the last time they felt like clotheslining a co-worker for disrespecting them but couldn't because you are a corporate coward and don't want to lose all their income? Do they even know what it feels like to want to smash a coffee pot filled with piping hot Maxwell House against someone's Adam's Apple for making a racist remark or denying you for that raise or giving your promotion to some incompetent mofo who has been at the job less time then you have?

My advice would be to duplicate the actions that they take. For example, right now I have Suze Orman's book Women & Money in my hand (Had to get it from somebody so I can spell her name correctly). Suze has several books published that allow her to make residual income.Suze only had to write those books one time and it allows her to keep getting paid for something she did in the past forever! I wish her viewers would focus more on things like that for themselves as opposed to "Get rid of your cable so you can reduce your monthly expenses by $20 a month".LMAO". As far as Oprah, she has a TV show for crying out loud. She gets paid whenever they air a re-run not to mention that if she has a new product like her O magazine, she can reach millions of people just by showing it live on her show.If you had a bootleg music CD how much time would you spend walking around all the cubicles at your job trying to twist your co-workers arms in to buying it. How many people would you reach? How much cash would you make? See the difference? I actually like Bill Cosby and the messages that he is projecting. I think a lot of people reject his ideas because they want to do wrong and Bill says we need to change. They get defensive when someone speaks the truth. The only problem I have with Mr.Cosby is his message about education. He means well but I don't think that he understands how college puts you in debt and teaches you how to be a modern day slave working for other people. When he's standing at those podiums giving speaches at colleges, he needs to tell them how it's gonna take 60 years to pay back all those loans because a job ain't trying to pay someone fresh out of school sh@#! Ever been on a job interview and they tell you "I'm sorry but you don't have enough experience" after spending 5 years in school? How the hell I'm going to have work experience if I was school you idiot!


I also feel like people put to much faith in the government too. People are putting their selves in dangerous positions when they wait for the government to take action for them. I have tons of faith in Barrack Obama but I'm not going to wait around for his administration to pay my bills or any other form of government. Even if the economy was the best it's ever been in history, that's not going to automatically put money in my bank account.I have to take action to obtain my goals.I noticed how millions of people are waiting for the economy to get better so they can find employment. I don't know about you but I don't wait on nobody to put food in my mouth. That's one of the reasons I created this blog so I can enlighten people on what I know and also create passive income while doing it. I don't have to rely on the government or anybody else. With this blog I get paid with the google adsense ads displayed on my page.Whenever someone comes to my page and clicks on an ad they like, I instantly make money.With this blog I can make money in my sleep.I don't physically have to be at a job or even on line while they are clicking.Do you get paid in your sleep from your job? Hell no! I also have another blog www.makemoneyrapping.blogspot.com that allows me to make money just like this site. Currently I have 2 streams of passive income. Can you physically be at two jobs at once and make money? Bottom line, I wish I could send a blatant message to the masses about how to really make money and survive in THE INFORMATION AGE! These old school cats are still living and giving advice from THE INDUSTRIAL AGE and sadly numerous people follow this advice and wonder why they are aging while that rat race wheel is spinning faster and faster.
