You should really quit your job on Monday. Yes tomorrow today . If you are working for a salary or wages and have no equity in the business that is.
And here’s why:
You are living someone else’s dream.
You are exchanging the days of your life to build the vision of someone else. You are not doing what you dreamed about as a child.
The reality is this: once you have a place to live and food to eat, the rest is ego. Chances are you are working in a job just to feed your ego. I know because I was this person for more than 10 years. I had jobs I didn’t like – high paying ones, to buy things I didn’t need, to impress people I didn’t care for. It’s a pointless treadmill which the government encourages to maximise consumption, generate higher tax rates and PAYE deductions and enforce control through a passive education process which says consumption equals success. We must remove this idea of the power structure from our minds and remind ourselves that real wealth is defined by the cool stuff we are doing, rather than the stuff we buy.
Quite your job, de-gear your life and do something of value. To further encourage this process I’ll leave you with one final thought I tweeted a while ago:
Cheers, Steve
