Recently I keep hearing people around me complaining about work. I can fully understand… Given the pressure and the lack of direction in my office, I can understand that people want OUT! I too feel the pressure and lack of direction. But as I sat through and think about how unmotivated I am here, I also think of how I can change my mindset so that it is more empowering rather than discouraging.
I too do not wish to work, but what I am looking for is to have the ability to achieve financial independence through passive and residual income. And my goal for retirement (regardless of age) is to do what I love because if I can do what I love doing, be it a job or not, it is not work. This is what many people want to achieve but how many can really live such a dream? I do not know. What I do know is this is what I am working for. I am going to build my pipleline so that water runs for me not now, but in the future.
So instead of saying ‘How I Wish I Don’t Have To Work’ I will say ‘How Can I Spend More Time To Be With The Ones I Love And Do What I Love’.
The latter is definitely more empowering and propels me to put in more effort now and to enjoy my rewards later.
I would like to introduce you to this book that I am reading. It is The Parable of the Pipeline by Burke Hedges
Here is a review from Amazon.com
By Scott McKenzie (Louisville, CO United States)
The Parable of the Pipeline: How Anyone Can Build a Pipeline of Ongoing Residual Income in the New Economy (Paperback)
The parable in this book is an eye opener. The story is well done and interesting. The story was helpful in opening my eyes to the work mindset which had been ingrained into me since a child. Learning about building pipelines, which is residual income, was excellent. I highly recommend this book personally and for business building.
The problem for many people is that we are trained to work a job and have not learned how to own a business. This book teaches principles on business ownership. The story is told in such a way to help us shift from working our whole life and having little in the end, or becoming a business owner and getting financial freedom. This book goes along well with Rich Dad Poor Dad and Cash Flow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki – cheers
So, if you are interested to check out Burke Hedges’ The Parable of the Pipeline, you may purchase a copy from Amazon here
