Million Dollar Career Tip #11
Hi, I’m Martial Arts Master Bill FitzPatrick and this is Million Dollar Career Tip #11
Having a JOB — matters
Making money — matters
You MUST make enough money to
Pay your bills
Spoil those you love
Save enough to buy your 6 properties
The particular job DOESN’T matter
If you graduate from Princeton and are sitting at home on your ass playing Angry Birds, you are screwed
When you are unemployed, pretending you are doing something positive by going to the gym every day — does NOT count
As a tough Action Principles Champion, without any bitching, moaning, whining or complaining, you simply commit to doing what needs to be done
You do it for yourself
You do it for your family
You do it because it is who you are
Work one job — work two jobs — cobble together three jobs
Work 50 hours
40 hours for your present life
10 hours for your early retirement, your dream life
FULL STOP
Get a job
Get your foot in the door
Network you way to an interview
Sell yourself
Do NOT be shy
You are a fast learner
You are a hard worker
You are a team player
You are a problem solver
You are a person of values and principles
You are a motivator with a positive mental attitude
If the interviewer chuckles at your boasting,
This is what you want
You MUST stand out — stand apart —
Be remembered
You want the simple chance to prove yourself
Put yourself forward —
Ask to be hired on a conditional basis
Make the GUARANTEE
In 90 days, your managers will be singing your praises
Just give me 90 days to prove my words aren’t JUST words
Tell the interviewer that by hiring you —
that he or she will LOOK GOOD
Make them laugh –
With an ENTRY LEVEL job,
From DAY ONE — you are alert and aware
you figure out the ways of the company
you figure out who are the POWER players
Yes, you work your ass off
and make ALL of your co-workers look like slackers
This is YOUR job
This is NOT a popularity contest
MOST average co-workers are NOT ambitious and are only working hard enough to NOT get fired
You figure out what it takes to advance
If you are working hard but NOT getting the rewards you earn —
you have three options
1. Get another job where you are appreciated
2. Become a commissioned salesperson where your income is directly related to your effort OR
3. Start your own business
So, even if your present job is shoveling shit —
IF you are being paid enough to
Pay your bills
Spoil those you love
Invest
This SHITTY job is a GOOD job moving you forward toward the attainment of your goal —
a comfortable early retirement
Simply, this shitty job is a WORTHY MEANS to a comfortable early retirement
AND, accept the FACT
VERY few AVERAGE people will understand what you are doing
AVERAGE people may scoff because you work at Wal-Mart or CVS or mow lawns or drive a cab or bartend
Let them laugh
You will have the last laugh in 20 years
As my student YOUR goal is to make an eventual tax deductible donation totaling $285 and become an Action Principles Champion. If you can start by making a contribution of $5 or $10 now — that’s a start
and thank you — get back to work
