Be Your Own Boss

Monday, August 10, 2015


What do you want to be when you grow up? A princess? A firefighter? A policeman? The president? Ask me that now and I'll answer that I want to be my own boss.

I want to work for myself. I don't want to work for someone else. To grow someone elses' company because I need a paycheck. To simply work to pay the bills. To afford a living. Work 9-5, 5 days a week. To be a slave to myself.

This is colonial thinking. Spoken from people living in the ice age.

The new age is now. It is the future. The future always surpasses the current. Whatever you do now, as long as you stay true to your goals, you will be the better version of your past.

Whatever you want to do--it doesn't necessarily mean go to school and graduate. It is simply to be smart. Use your resources. Millionaires are created from motivation and habit, not education.

Don't let the baby boomers and generation x tell you otherwise. Don't let your parents stop you from going above and beyond.

Don't let them tell you your 401k plans, you tell them your own plans.

Sorry mom and dad. I'm going to do this my own way, and it's okay if you disagree.

Be your own. Yours only.

Happy hustlin'. -ej
