Take this job and shove it!

I would love to see if anyone out there can afford to hire me, but my guess is probably not. So I will just keep working away in an industry that many people think is a scam. My friends and family members may laugh at me, but If our industry were a scam why would Avon, Mary Kay, and Nuskin still be around after decades and be billion dollar brands? Why would David Beckham wear Herbalife on his LA Galaxy Jersey? Why would The Orlando Magic play basketball in "The Amway Arena"? Yeah, it's all a scam. Why do so many of my friends make 6 and 7 figure incomes in this industry, yet you won't even look, because you think it's a scam. Why do so many women get to stay home with their kids, because of the extra income they earn from their network marketing business - oh yeah, I forgot it's a scam. Go ahead and think that way and stay at the bottom of the biggest pyramid in the world - The Corporate Structure. Watch your less talented friends get promoted because they are better ass kissers, watch your wife have to return to work 6 weeks after giving birth to your child, because she doesn't want to lose her job. Better yet cut your 2 week vacation in half, so you can show your boss you're a company man and deserve to be promoted, or out of fear cut your vacation short, so you don't return to having your positioned filled by yet another eager soul who's half your age and willing to work harder and for less than you. Yes, have your kids being raised by nannies or daycare providers as it's only 12 hours a day between leaving the home and returning to the home after commuting for 2 hours in traffic - it's ok by me. But personally, I'd rather build my own pyramid, instead of clawing my way to the top of someone else's or trying to run a business with a bunch of employees who earn more than me - ha ha. Besides, I suck at kissing ass and hate traffic.

Renew your Mind

The economy is crumbling, 2012 is coming and the world is going to blow up, cancer is going to get 1 in 2 people before they leave the planet, the food you eat is infested with pesticides. Ok, ok, I know I am being negative, but the point is - there is a ton of negativity out there and if you believe it, you will succomb to it. The only way to have a peaceful life is to renew your mind. Here's a few tips on how to renew your mind - so you can make a shift from all the negativity in our world:

  • Have very little association with negative people


  • Fill your mind with good books & music


  • Believe and trust in a God of your understanding


  • Spend time with you kids and love them


  • Love your spouse and friends "The Power of Love"


  • Don't watch the news or read newspapers

  • Pay close attention to the types of movies or TV Shows you watch (Garbage in Garbage Out)

  • Make a gratitude list, if you're not going to bed hungry every night you're better off than 2/3rds of the world
