The Age of the Entrepreneur: How You Can Earn Money in the Jobless Recovery
In today’s economy, there’s a good chance that you aren’t able to earn money in a traditional job, even if you want to. While the experts are talking about the recovery from this Great Recession, you and I know that what they’re really talking about is a jobless recovery.More people than ever are being cheated out of the traditional ways of earning money today, all so a very few people at the top are able to keep getting richer every day.I understand the urge to try to go back to the way things were. But let’s face it. The days of 20 or 30 and out with a gold watch and a pension have been gone for more than 2 decades now. It’s time to deal with the world as it is, and that means looking into new ways to earn money for ourselves and our families.That’s why I’ve become a business owner. Only this time, I’m earning my money with a business that lets me work where I want, when I want. I didn’t choose this route just so I could have my freedom, though I’ll admit that’s a big part of it.After decades of sacrificing time with my family to earn the money to support us, I decided to ditch that mindset and find a way to earn our money and have my freedom.And you know what? It’s working. I’m earning money when I’m with my family, when I’m spending time working on myself, and even when I’m sleeping.Can you say that? Or are you doing the work of 2 or 3 people for less money than before so your CEO can turn a profit this quarter? Or worse, are you scanning the help-wanted ads yet again and breathing a sigh of relief because Congress finally approved that extension on the unemployment benefits you need to survive?You don’t have to live like that anymore. Thanks to the Internet, this is literally the age of the entrepreneur. We’re too smart today to trust corporate America or our government to take care of us.And if we have to take care of ourselves, we’re going to do it on our own terms. That means finding ways to earn money that don’t depend on a CEO’s decisions, don’t depend on government help, and don’t depend on the economy being good overall.I ended up with my own online business through a series of misfortunes. First, I was disabled in a work-related accident, and then when the economy tanked, the business I was working at dried up completely.But I’ve got to tell you, I wouldn’t go back to those old days or those old ways of earning money for anything.And the best thing about all of this is that I don’t have to keep my business expertise to myself. I’m not in competition with other online business owners, and there’s no reason for me to do anything but help you earn your own money using the techniques I’m using now.That’s because the Internet is the biggest market in history with 1.5 billion users and growing every day.If you want more details about how you can earn money without bowing and scraping at a traditional job, please visit my website. I’ll be happy to show you a career that is CEO, government, and recession proof. And even better, one that will let you put yourself and your family first while you still earn all of the money you could ever want or need.Bob Chappell
