tl/dr: Read the 2 books from my other post. Find a job/career that helps people or society. Get paid more. Live cheap. Use left over money to invest. Start making more money. Read dumb story when I tried to work for Radio Shack. Laugh.
(Long Version):
After reading the books I mentioned from my previous blog post Making a million: step 1 I began to study deeper into investing in stocks, business structure, and talking to everyone.
After opening a brokerage account, talking to about 200 people, and starting the business plan to my first business I began to formulate a plan that touched a lot of angles I was seeing.
What is your value to the market? This answer and taking a journey to solve this will make you money over and over. Now fast forward 10 years I had failed multiple times in multiple ways trying to answer this question. Don’t let failure dissuade you. Create back up plans, minimize the effects of failure, and don’t forget your lessons learned.
Let’s go back to the beginning again.
I was in my early 20’s and asked myself the question “What is my value to the market? What can I do to bring value to people?”
I hadn’t really started to think like an entrepreneur. I had a couple computer certificates, started at a community college, and I couldn’t get a job doing anything that I was trained in.
Radio Shack turned me down! I laugh at what the manager told me, “You’re over qualified and I don’t see you sticking around.”
I just wanted some money so I didn’t live on the streets and I could continue to go to school. I had a lot of foul language I wanted to tell him. He didn’t know I was one of the hardest workers around. He didn’t know I was a farm-hand that knew how break apart computers and build them back up. He didn’t know I fed chickens before the sun rose and tended to tomato plants in blistering July 96 degree heat.
I thought again, “What is my current worth to society? What kind of value can I bring people and my family?”
I’m ethical, compassionate, and love Science. Less than one week later I changed my major from a computer programming degree to a medical one.
The Medical Field remains a great way to get your foot in the door to start making money $40,000 to $60,000 in 2 to 3 years. I leveraged my money working in the medical field with an Associate’s Degree to then invest more and more into the stock market, then it opened doors to real estate, and now I can purchase houses with cash. I’ll talk more about this later and I plan on showing videos on the specifics including some of the current stocks I invest in, but that’s for a later post…
Choosing a job or career that will bring value to other people’s life will make you money. A receptionist is not going to make more money than a nurse. You have to choose an area of work that will give you more chances to make money while helping people in some way. You might be a great marketer bringing an insurance product to people you really believe in. Your passion and drive will make a difference.
You should also research the job and turn over rate. I hate to say, but in the past I wouldn’t remember Nurse Aides' names. Their job, pay, and respect causes a turn over rate of less than a year. I knew 75% of the people coming in the doors for a job at a nursing home or assisted living center wasn’t going to be there by next year, but I’d see some of them again literally down the road at the next nursing home or assisted living center.
Finding a job in something that will turn a tidy profit, help people in some way, and become a stepping stone to more lucrative sources is vital. After you do this you should return the favor. Don’t let greed consume you. After I worked in the medical field I then helped others get the exact same job I had using old connections from hospitals, schools, and other facilities.
I don’t believe in competition! I believe in cooperation and that there is enough market space and money out there for everyone.
