In my town of London, Ontario Canada there has been a lot of plant closings including Kelloggs which make the well known cereals like Rice Krispies, Frosted Flakes and the old standby, Corn Flakes. I'm not sure why the plant is closing other than economic factors in the breakfast cereal industry.
Doesn't matter I guess.
Anyway...
I read some articles about the closing of Kelloggs and some people who I knew personally who worked there for 30 years were whining and complaining about the closing.
So here is my take on that bullshit.
These people seemed to think that Kelloggs owes them a living for the rest of their lives. No, they don't. They gave you a gift of employment including benefits to boot. if you've been with a big company like Kelloggs for many years, you've been making a solid wage and that has given you the
opportunity to search different ways to make extra money in a business, or take training to get a different job to help you advance. people have to stop thinking like others who get a government check. Like they're entitled to lifelong money without having to earn it.
A well known speaker named Jim Rohn had a mentor of his ask him, " Mr. Rohn, why aren't you doing better financially in your life?" Well, this is all I make. This is my paycheck. This is all the company pays. " No that's not true" That's all they pay you". Jim thought, That's a different way of looking at it. His mentor also said, isn't there jobs with your company that pay 5 to 10 times more?
And if you qualified, wouldn't it be worth it? Jim knew he was right. I'm going to leave a link to that
video for you guys of Jim talking about this.
Think of ways you can make extra cash on the side. No, not an internet business.
Think about a hobby you enjoy and could turn into a small business. Remember what I said about money you use for a small business; Use your own money and money you can afford to lose.
Just because you have a talent for woodwork doesn't mean you'll want to do it as a business, or even make money in it. You have to understand that, and if it costs more for materials than what you're asking for the wood work, well you'll lose your shirt.
I run a small litterpickup business. It costs me for brooms,pushbrooms and a "Catchall" which is a poly vinyl bag with a metal handle on it for the purpose of scooping up cigarette butts, litter and small pieces of debris. The costs are very little, and I can write off my material expenses as well.
I saw a need for something no one was doing even though it's boring, and turned garbage into extra cash. And it helped create value for local business. I am now in the process of approaching trades people who work at construction sites and pick up their small pieces of debris. For example Carpenter's. They always have sawdust and small pieces of wood that are always cluttering up a construction site. Why not offer to do this for 13 bucks an hour? Or I can pay someone minimum wage and I pocket a small royalty.
They would work 20 to 40 hours and I get 3 bucks an hour and make 60 to 120 bucks a week. Not having to trade my time for money.
And it doesn't cost me much.
Simple. And I like it better than regular cleaning work which is very physical.
But going back to Jim Rohn.
He also said some other very profound things. "It doesn't cost too much" You just can't afford it".
Or, "Profits are better than wages". Think about it, while you work making a living you can work part time making a fortune or taking training to get a better job.
Just a few thoughts guys. It would be well worth it to pursue.
So, view Jim's video and get back to me. You'll love being in biz or a better job guys.
WEll worth the pursuit.
Much success
