Private Entrepreneurship as Foremost Key to Wealth

In his book “How to Be Rich” J. Paul Getty states that “the first rule is to be in business for yourself.” This is the only way you can make money and make your money work for you. Of course wealth grows the fastest when your money works for you. The fastest and most dependable way to wealth is through self-employment. Salaries were designed by avowed capitalists to keep workers permanently dependent on their employers. In extreme cases, just to keep the workers alive and whole enough to work and earn their wages. There are no salaries designed to make anybody rich. The key to wealth therefore is found in self-employment. In self-employment, your earnings are in direct proportion to your efforts. You can therefore plan, project, execute, evaluate, direct and attain desired results all within a specific time frame. In summary, you are always in control of your progress. Achievements therefore are easily attained as projected. This is what makes the difference between wage-employment and self-employment. This is the point many youths and unemployed people find difficult to appreciate.

        
Are you currently employed and unhappy with your employment? Are you underemployed? Are you looking for a job? Do you want to make more money in your current business? This article will be of immense help to you if you take pains to appreciate what it is saying. Do not be deceived, businesses are not scarce and will never be scarce. It is only ideas and jobs that are scarce. They have been scarce and will continue to be scarce until people resolve to do something about the way they think. If you can do something about how you think and what you think about, you can do something about your ideas. Your poor status and unemployment disposition can therefore be changed. This article is very apt in that quest.

To succeed in self-employment and private entrepreneurship, you need leverage, a solid and dependable leverage. “Give me a point of support and I will move the world” declared the great physicist Archimedes when he tried to demonstrate the usefulness of a lever. An ordinary bar with a fixed support can move the world if the support is strong enough. This support is what Archimedes needed as leverage for the Herculean task of moving the world. The good news is that you are not Archimedes and your problems are not as big or as heavy as the world. You therefore need a smaller leverage. This article hopes to ginger you up to acquire your own leverage. You too can make it just like those you currently admire or even envy. You have a right to respectable work and decent living. I believe it is a right and not a privilege for you to live a good life. But first, you must decide to do something about what you do and how you are doing it to earn a living right now!!!
