I've searched and not found any relative threads to this topic.
would like to work for myself. Why? Every job i seem to take, I get bored after 2/3 weeks or resent inefficient employees/managers / those who work less hard than me (physically) / who are stuck in the slowlane/sidewalk mindset. Whilst I admire & appreciate a lot of the self-proclaimed "fastlaners" on here, and have learnt an enormous amount on here, I must be totally 100% honest and say that I find a little of the advice slightly condescending, particularly the "just do it" and "take action" threads. It's nice saying "just do IT" but how did you FIND your "IT"?. It's like saying "wake up at 4am instead of 8am and your life will change", but if you don't know what you need to do from 4-8am in order to make changes, you'll just sit there staring into space for 4 hours.
I have no issues with these words of "taking action", as someone who reads, eats/drinks healthily and exercises every single mof'ing day, but there is often very little insight on how their IDEA for their business came about, so they know in what DIRECTION to take action. Ideas don't come from fresh air, so I'm asking HOW these opportunities come about to you? How did your idea for your business come about? Did you have time for meditation / was it more physical exercise/ was it a relationship break-up / a relative passing away and something clicked that really made you FOCUS on a business.... ?
I have a university education & speak 4 languages (properly, not just 1 line), have lived in 4 countries yet feel lost to be brutally honest. I can't afford to not take a job, as some of you suggest as a way to "break the cycle of jobs" as the bills still have to be paid.
Thanks!! Sean
P. S. If you want an insight into my "WHY" (why i want to be successful)....I want to be rich enough to buy holidays for people who don't have the means due to circumstances they cannot avoid, (e.g. severe illness) but that's for another day.
