Not every 9 to 5 job is a living hell. Many people love going to work everyday. They enjoy their co-workers, get paid a good salary and have a healthy work environment. But like many of you, I had jobs that I felt were sucking the life right out of me. I was underpaid and unappreciated. It really became a chore go on the air and perform every day. Some of you know exactly what I'm talking about because I've heard the stories about people driving in traffic literally in are in tears dreading walking into the office.
But at some point you have to stop bitching and hoping for things to change and take a long hard look in the mirror and ask yourself, "What am I doing to change my circumstances?" Yes, I believe in the power of prayer just like I believe in the power of positive thinking but prayer is not a plan!
The truth is most companies are only interested in one-thing…profits! And they'll suck the life out of you to get that money! They don't give a damn about you, your health, your dreams, or your family, just get the job done… and while you're at it, do the job of two or three other people so they can save even more money!
And once they have bullied and worked you like a slave they’ll come up with an excuse to fire you so they can bring in the next sucker to take your place for half the price.
So, the question is, what are you going to do to take control of your time and of your life? If you want more you have to do more, study more, and surround yourself around with people who are just as pissed off as you are!
I know it's not easy figuring out what it is you want to do. But if you spend every moment after you read this commentary reading books, watching business videos, talking to other entrepreneurs and get rid of anyone in your life that doesn't grow you, I promise you that tomorrow you'll be closer to your dream than you are today! ~ Michael Baisden
