Two men graduate from the same school on the same day.
One follows the conventional path of interviewing for various job positions, sending out resumes, and eventually finding his way into an employment position.
The other decides to go into business for himself. He has a vision or an idea he wants to chase through life. A service he wants to provide. An impact he wants to make. And through confidence and belief in himself, he takes the challenge of being completely responsible for his own financial results.
The scenario is clear and obvious. The world is made up of two groups of people: those who live their dreams….and those who work for people who live their dreams.
This is not to say that employment is bad or wrong. Certainly our world would be a place of complete chaos if no one were willing to cook food, build automobiles, teach our children and build our roads.
But, it’s also true that entrepreneurs are the people who make the world go ’round. We provide the leadership, the vision and the possibility for the growth and advancement of the rest of society. And we get paid very well for doing it.
Ultimately, it all comes down to “service”. It was Earl Nightingale who said, “Our rewards in life are always in direct proportion to the amount of service we provide.”
Why does Jim Carrey make $20M for a motion picture? Why Sir Richard Branson one of the richest men on the planet? Why is Carlos Slim worth billions of dollars?
It’s because of two things:
A. How much service they provide
B. And the number of people to whom they provide it.
These are entrepreneurs.
They “get it”. They understand that every dollar they will ever earn comes from — and through — PEOPLE. There is no other way.
Entrepreneurship is a noble and profitable choice that has created every major convenience, luxury and advantage that we enjoy in modern society.
And the people who engage in it can become very wealthy.
And the best part about being an entrepreneur is that — in today’s society and technology — it’s never been easier for people like you and I to choose this path and see remarkable results in a short amount of time.
Two men graduated from college on the same day. One is living his dreams. One is working for someone else who’s living theirs….
….which one are you?
