Do you really just want to survive? Honestly though, even with a job it is often difficult to survive.
Here is my advice from a life lived as such:
- You can live without a job, but you will not achieve anything without work. You can choose when you want to work, but without automated cash generating assets you will not be able to avoid working.
- Dreaming and thinking will become your biggest enemy if you do not learn how to listen first. Perhaps you believe that you have this skill, but you don’t. Dreaming and thinking are internal conversations that often drown out the voices of profit and opportunity.
- If you are to survive, and in fact thrive, learn to identify value and profit. Value is the perceived distance between a problem and its solution. Profit is the multiplier of people that have this perception. If one person needs to milk a cow without using their hands, and you can build a machine to do so, there is value but no profit. If 15000 people need your machine, then there is value and profit.
- Never, ever sell anything purely for profit. If there is only profit and no value you will lose the only real value you have in life: your good name.
- Finally, learn humility and learn it fast. Humility is not the opposite of arrogance nor it is “thinking less of yourself.” Humility is the skill of thinking less about yourself. Your value in life is a function of the value you create for others. You can only do so if you are focused on others.
Use
from this what is appropriate, and let me know how it goes - a life
lived on your own terms is by no means for the faint of heart!
