The Hand Dealt To Me

Have you heard the expression: “Multiple Income Streams”?

To most people on the street, it’s an alien concept – you get up every morning and go ‘To Work’ for someone  don’t you, like everyone else in the world, yes?

You work for someone who is providing a Service to the World, and people pay for this service. They pay so much, and the business has grown to such an extent, that your employer can afford to pay you, to help them run their business.

This arrangement goes well, while your employer receives more money than they spend. The problems start when this balance starts to tip the other way.

Then, some employers will start to explore new ways of making money, others will start cutting back on their expenditure. If it gets so bad, they will eventually dismiss their employees (you) and go back to running their business themselves.

This is terrible, because you are completely dependent on one employer, one salary one income stream. This makes you very vulnerable, very dependent.

So, why don’t YOU provide a special service that people want, and will pay for?

We are very fortunate to be living in a country that allows us to have an idea, implement it, and receive payment for doing so. In Eastern countries, this is not so.

So, let’s Capitalise on this wonderful opportunity, and go out there and make some money!

But what shall we do? What service shall we provide to our fellow humans?

The answer to that is: “What am I naturally Good at”. What hand have I been dealt?

I am opposed to education for educations sake. I loathe the idea of studying subjects that are completely unrelated to my life, and that I will never use again, just for a piece of paper called a Qualification.

I will fight for the right to study a subject that I already Love, am already naturally gifted in.

Let’s look at the Hand Dealt To Us, shall we? What am I naturally gifted in? What do I love doing so much, that I will stay up until midnight doing? THAT’S the service you should be providing to the world. That’s the subject you should be studying, something that will be Useful and beneficial to your life.

Am I a carer?

Am I hospitable?

Can I write a book?

Am I good at organising events?

Am I gifted at explaining things?

Do I have a knack at something that other people declare: Wow!

I have had such an idea. I have implemented that idea. I provide a service that people want. And I get paid for providing that service. This is my ‘work’, and I am my own employer. I get up in the morning according to MY diary. I book my own appointments. I go to Work according to my own timetable.

Today, I had yet another such idea. Of course, I implemented it immediately. It is another service I will gladly provide to the world. And I will again be paid for this. Who pays me? An employer?  No, the very people I serve. Now I have multiple income streams; I am no longer dependent on one job or one person.

By the way, did you know that JOB stands for Just Over Broke?

The World is missing us, it needs us to rise up and be revealed. Let’s make a stand, make a difference. Let’s not be sheep or employees. Let’s provide a service that is valued. Let’s do what we were MADE to do, what we are Naturally Good at.
