Re: To have a career or to have a business
Dear Lawren,
I'm William Tan from Singapore. Me and my team are in the Health & Wellness business which founded in the 1992.
We travel the world as a part of a successful international business. Now operating in 14 markets, we offers the opportunity to build a successful business, see exotic locations, and discover exciting cultures as you work a business that is truly global.
I truly understand the kind of stress level you are going through. And you must have woken up after seeing people have been down-size, retrenched.
It's true and it's the fact, companies cannot just sell away their machines, equipment, or even down-size their factories. Cutting people's head is the most effective and cost saving for the company to survive through recession.
As you can see, there is no such thing as "Iron rice bowl" or "Job Securities" now. Have you ever thought of, when you are in your 40s or 50s. What will happen to you if you are the one being down-size? Will your savings last you and your family and how long can it last?
And I agree with you, we are not taught to be business owners. Schools only teaches us how to get good grades then get a good job.. (Is it very familiar to you, well it is the reality). Sadly to say, many people as employees have lack of financial education...the network is very low as an employee, he/she basically exchange this precious resource called "Time" for money.
Some of this group of employees decided to come out to start their own businesses aka self-employed. They spend large capital just to start a small store, stall, company of their own, employ staff, etc...etc...etc. It is true that they can earn better income than an employee, but they have lesser time for themselves with their families too. When they have business they work long hours, when they do not have business, they work longer hours to get more business. Basically, they are chained to their work and have no time freedom.
I also want to share some brief information about big business. They get income with or without work, this called leverage or residual income. The earning power is very huge because they have a system. For example Bill Gates walks away from Microsoft for a long holiday, he still get his earnings without his present in the company. Imagine MacDonalds, their system works so well even thou they hire students just to prepare the burgers and fries. And is this familiar to you? "Sir, do you want to upsize?" Customers just spend a little money to upsize their meals generates millions of profits for MacDonalds every year. That's what I called, the "System"
And it is the reality now and the future, the rich are getting richer. The poor will get poorer. The value of money is becoming smaller due to inflation. And because the rich have financial knowledge, they use money to create passive income for them. They buy assets, invest into stocks, do wealth protection and the poor will simply put their hard earn money into banks without knowing their value of money becomes smaller over time. Warren Buffet is a very good example, he use money to make money.
The above statements are general information which I learned from my mentor and successful business leaders.
I'm glad that you will give your children financial education and to have a career or to have a business. It's really up for your decision and your dreams who want to achieve.
I wish you good health and all the best for your future endeavors.
Lastly, to all Business minded people or leaders, Entrepreneurs and people who want to start their own business. Do contact me now.
