Work one time, get paid forever!

"My friend is going to college for five years to become a professional. 
At the end of those five years, he graduates. Then he will start his career. 
Another friend is building his network marketing business for five years. 
At the end of those five years, instead of starting a career, he will retire."

Start a business and you have a job!

Learn how to start a business ... from somebody who has a job?

STORY: An graduated with honors for a business degree over ten years ago. Nothing in business has turned out well for him. I wondered, "Is it because he never learned to spend less than he earns?"

Seems so basic. Yet this consistently limits his possibilities for success.

Some people will always spend more than they earn, no matter how much they earn. It is impossible for them to have a balance in their bank account. They feel compelled to spend it.

Nam Do replied to the post, "Maybe you can't really learn business from people who have jobs? Maybe the university he went to will give him a refund because things aren't working out?"

Ouch. That is pretty pointed, and pretty accurate too. I know many people who insist on refunds on their distributor kits. Yet, they fail to hold their universities to the same standards.

An oversimplification to a bigger problem, but still, this is something for us to consider. Do we hope for a guarantee in life? Or are we going to be responsible for our choices and actions?
