10 reasons you should never get a job

[Red Maverick II]

So in other words, business owners will NOT always make more than career professionals. It depends... on the individual



We're talking SUCCESSFUL owners and employers in the same field. I bolded this shyt and people still reading right past it.

How can you pay yourself anything if the costs of your business are more than the revenue it generates? That is basic accounting... and why businesses fail. Do you understand the concept of profit? You do know MOST businesses fail right?

Business Failure Rates: What Percentage of Businesses Fail?

Again...we're talking about SUCCESS. Obviously you cant pay anyone shyt if you don't make money. And nobody cares about failure cause its not profitable.

Most people can hold a job for more than 4 years....

Where's the evidence to back THIS claim? And it don't matter how long you can hold a job if the job market is shrinking.

Yea, the owners are getting more, but the players are still getting millions. And the owners get more, because they own rights to the league and put up the initial capital to start the NBA. So of course they would get paid more.

So what's the problem? You're agreeing to what I said which goes against your standpoint.

And yea, having multiple income streams > having one. Why can't someone be an employee, own real estate, have investments, maybe have some kind of e-commerce thing going, do that affiliate marketing bullshyt everyone claims they make tons of money from with no work, etc? You claim multiple streams of income are good, but knock having a stream of income from an employer

I'm not knocking anyone getting money by being an employee. I'm saying it aint as secure as they lead people to believe. And if you're getting money thru different ways, why the hell would you want to still be a worker when you could invest the money you're making to get you more?

And like I said already, most of you nikkas suck at your jobs and know you bring no value to your employer, which is why you hate having a boss. You live in legitimate fear of getting canned because you haven't put yourself in a position to create value. But yet somehow you think you will have the drive, ingenuity, skill and discipline to run a successful business, which is 100x harder than punching a clock... often for not much more money. Most nikkas don't know accounting,customer service, marketing, business management, TAX MANAGEMENT... most of yall don't even have a basic skill, idea or product to sell. The ones who actually have businesses are in here telling folks its not the cheat code to prosperity and easy living yall think it is. But go ahead and keep buying that dream instead of making the most of the situation you're in.....

I never said the shyt was easy bruh. Now you just reaching. Most employees aren't paid to create value, they're paid to do what they're told, over and over again.

All that shyt about running a business can be learned.

I'm gon keep gettin dis bwued We livin that, 10th percentile household life over here

If you're happy where youre at then much repsect to ya. What I and the other cats in here pursuing entrepreneurship isn't for you then.

When I hit the lotto i'm gonna be , until then I'm gonna be at this 9-5 posting in the coli...........damn I need a new come up

 

[Roid Jones]

*hated job*
*quit*
*hustled and chilled for a few months*
*started own business*
*feels better, makes more, hasn't been woken up by an alarm for as long as can remember, spends more time with girl, family and my boys, doesn't have to wear some bytch-ass suit (b-ball shorts and vest in summer, working from laptop outdoors >>>) and doesn't have to listen to colleague's fukking stories about their kids*

fair enough to those of you who are content with working for and answering to another man, but I wasn't.

How did you do it, I mean getting that monthly income is cool, but damn I don't want to be Mr Smith at my job who has been there for 25 years and keeps wishing he did something else

 

[john goodman]

Me: there's a lot of money out there

Idiots on the coli: you're lying! The only one that's cutting checks is the boss man! Email me your business plan and give me free consulting services or you're full of shyt!

There's opportunities everywhere... Any time there is change going on there is a chance to make money... It's all about finding an inefficiency in the market and making it efficient... And having access to capital whether your own or others.... That's what should be on your mind

 

[Akata Man Bromo]

art barr ruined this damn thread for me with that weird posting style... fukk there was some good info in here too

We're talking SUCCESSFUL owners and employers in the same field. I bolded this shyt and people still reading right past it.

You still miss the point. How can you ensure your business won't fail? Do you think anyone starts a business in the hopes that it won't succeed? Thats not even to say people shouldn't go into business, just to say that ALL business owners don't come ahead. Your first post claimed that was the case, now you are backpedaling

Again...we're talking about SUCCESS. Obviously you cant pay anyone shyt if you don't make money. And nobody cares about failure cause its not profitable.

So you're saying success is guaranteed?

Where's the evidence to back THIS claim? And it don't matter how long you can hold a job if the job market is shrinking.

O and the job market isn't shrinking, there just aren't enough qualified applicants for the jobs that do exist.

In other words, u want a job, get the skills you need to work in manufacturing, networking, IT, computer sciences.....

Companies are hiring

So what's the problem? You're agreeing to what I said which goes against your standpoint.

There is no problem. When NBA players don't get what they want they strike. They are playing now so I am guessing they are happy with the pay they are getting So this is a moot point

I'm not knocking anyone getting money by being an employee. I'm saying it aint as secure as they lead people to believe. And if you're getting money thru different ways, why the hell would you want to still be a worker when you could invest the money you're making to get you more?

Being an employee isn't 100% secure, who said it was? My point was, and still is, starting a business is LESS secure. You are an employee, your company goes under, you get another job. You don't lose any investment, you don't take any losses. You are a business owner, your business goes under, you lose some to all of the money you put in it. If you took a loan and have to declare bankruptcy your credit is ruined. Not uncommon for clients or even employees to sue you. And businesses fail way more than people get fired. I have seen medical offices go out of business.

I never said the shyt was easy bruh. Now you just reaching. Most employees aren't paid to create value, they're paid to do what they're told, over and over again.

Why do you think bosses tell employees what to do? Just cause they like to throw their weight around? Most of the jobs I worked at, I was billable. Meaning my hours were charged to a client of the company. So the shyt I was doing.... was creating value for the company

Companies would go out of business if bosses just told people what to do w/no regard for making money. So yea, long and short of it, employees are directed to create value, at least by forward thinking managers

All that shyt about running a business can be learned.

What if you don't learn fast enough? And couldn't it be learned... working for someone else without the risk of losing an investment of your own

If you're happy where youre at then much repsect to ya. What I and the other cats in here pursuing entrepreneurship isn't for you then.

Yea I am good with what I'm doing... I didn't come in here for advice. I am here cause a lot of you "fukk workin for da man" ass nikkas just love to spread misinformation. I have been working since 2005. My family owns businesses. I know both sides of that game very well. Telling people they should "never get a job" is just piss poor advice- especially coming from a kid who has never had a real job + supported himself to begin with

You got a thread full of nikkas who don't want to listen and don't know what they're talking about.... potentially influencing people's life decisions. Yea sorry I have a problem with that.

All of you Coli-Thrillionares:

A better measure of success would be to post a picture that shows you living your lifestyle. Where do you wake up? What is your view? What do you wear? What do you drive? What kind of situations do you find yourself in? What kind of social circles do you find yourself in? What kind of women do you date?

Nobody doubts what I have to say about making money because it's clear that I'm actually doing that. The same can't be said for some knucklehead claiming to be in urban realestate development on one end, but concerned with hustling eBooks on another. Really, breh?

Oh, and screenshots showing deposits from Amazon? Again, this is just an evolved version of those Google cheques from those "Aye n!gga, look how Google just broke me off $20k. Why don't you get you some? Peep my eBook, n!gga," ads from back in the MySpace era.

Post a car, a nice pad, you with a hot b!tch, dinner on a rooftop... golf photos, SOMETHING, ANYTHING real to show that you're not just blowing smoke up our asses. Financial success is usually followed by material gains. And no, I don't mean to say you have to be blowing all your cash on frivoles sh!t, but yeah, there's no way you're pulling in the kind of money you're talking about without having something nice on deck to show for it.

Otherwise you cats are just a bunch of eBook hustlers that sell eBooks that teach you how to sell eBooks. I'm sorry, but I've seen that sh!t being marketed to the lazy fvcks that post on these sites from way back. I'm talking pre-hack AHH days. This sh!t isn't new.

african, who is you that a nygga gotta prove something to you cuz? why can't a nygga be up on a hustle that you dont know about? i sell tangible goods in several categories (and im gonna expand into 10 categories when its all said and done)on amazon - you know? shyt people can hold in their hands and use. fukk a "how to make money hustlin" ebook. i got two kids looking up to me nygga. im on automatic hero status. i cant sell people no dreams or take advantage of naive muthafukkas with a lil bit of money and a whole of hope. i sweat off my labor from working for myself and i make a lot more than you do working for crackers. why cant you accept that? i bet you one thing though, you cant match this american express screenshot though my nygga. if you aint platinum you cant even acess this part of the american express website. i might fukk around and put a 2012 toyota sequoia platinum on my card cause i can do that. so once again, fukk with that!

You can spend half your paycheck on an apt. You can buy expensive clothes with a credit card. You can spend too much money on a luxury car (you don't even have a car). You think you are special because you hang around middle class white people and can't relate to black people. None of the shyt you posted is an indicator of success, its all appearance.

ALL that matters... is your NET WORTH. And you sound like the kind of dude... who makes a little money, but is in the red to LOOK like he makes a LOT of money.

Nobody doubts what I have to say about making money because it's clear that I'm actually doing that.

Based on pictures of material goods you don't even have to own to be around? Why don't you post a screen shot of some account balances?

Post a car, a nice pad, you with a hot b!tch, dinner on a rooftop... golf photos, SOMETHING, ANYTHING real to show that you're not just blowing smoke up our asses.

Most wealthy people live pretty modest lifestyles... you can't accumulate wealth when you spend all your money trying to show people you have it.

Here's a fun link... you would think the richest people in the country would drive nothing but top of the line European shyts, right? I mean people pulling millions annually...

The Cars Of The Filthy Rich And Infamous | The Truth About Cars

These motherfukkers are driving Camries and Priuses. Meanwhile I bet your first car will be a fukkin 7 series that will run you into the poor house...

People who REALLY GET MONEY... don't spend so much energy trying to look like they have it. For all the dumping you do on the hood... you have a certified HOOD RICH mentality...

This nikka kills me man. Whats your net worth, and how often do you travel... outside the country? What % of your income are you putting away, annually? Whats been the return on your portfolio? This nikka wants to talk prosperity in pictures... and wonder why nobody takes him seriously

I never seen some one write so many sentences and still say nothing.

at this infomercial esque generic advice.

You might as well said " if you hungry , eat food"

You trying too hard to sound like you know what your talking about. It not a good look.

It's called having a big picture outlook... I can tell you're not a businessman, you're an employee and that's cool, do you

 

[The Nigerian]

i made 6 figures last year pre-tax. i highly doubt I'll find something w/o a job that pays me that much and allows me to relax as much as i do currently at work.

plus i got health insurance. i'd be willing to NOT have a job if i could do a proper risk assessment and weigh the pros and cons.

but all these bloggers do is state the obvious, get you riled up, and not provide answers. [/CENTER]

Dude, I'm currently in a sketchy neigborhood picking up my Honda Civic that the police stole right off the street claiming I "abandoned" it due to the fact that I didn't drive it for a week and a half. I have to drop $600 cash to bail it out.

Luckily, I found a place that's a 20 min bus ride away from my apartment to park this thing for $75/mo. Owning a car in this city is a gad damned liability like I've been saying this whole time. At least I can use tax free cash to pay for my CTA card easing the burden I have to shoulder just in getting to my vehicle to use it.

As for my financial standing I'm doing better than the average 20-something. I mean, I got in SIRI as soon as I heard about the Liberty deal a few months back.

Finally, regarding the notion that wealthy people live "modestly" thats just a lie that a lot of wealthy people say about themselves to people who don't know them personally. Within their circles they're always trying to one-up each other. It's pretty pathetic to witness first hand.

Oh and yes, I see you trying to hate on the fact that I look superior to you but really, just acknowledge that I look great and keep it moving. I know it's the fashion around here to make sh!t up but blatant hating is never cool. Just because a black male looks good doesn't mean he's "hood rich."

But youre not a business man. You don't own a business first off and second, you're not a man. Your just a kid in college who hasnt deal with the ruthless business world or being a adult living on your own and providing for one self.
