Work From Home

Working to Build Businesses

Many people think that you retire when you are old; they think that retiring at a young age, like thirty, is an impossible or highly improbable thing to be able to do. This is perfectly natural, for retirement to them is living off a pile of money.

This is a ludicrous outlook on retirement. To save up enough money to live off of will take almost an entire lifetime! No wonder people think you will be old when you retire! Some people have very lucrative jobs and live frugally, so they can afford to “retire” this way at a younger age, but it still takes a very, very long time.

Do you want to see a better way? Examine your work. What are you getting from your work? Probably just paychecks. Are you building anything? No! Instead, you are shaving off pieces of these measly paychecks year after year, all the while hoping that you save enough by the time you are too old to work that you have enough money to live on until you die.

Instead, you could have been building something, like your own business, and you could retire within a few years. This does not mean that you will be rich; it means that you are free. Retirement is not living off a chunk of money, hoping that it outlives you; retirement is having an income that comes to you whether or not you are working.

To retire rich, all you have to do is keep building these systems. As long as you spend building your business is as rich as you are going to be. Within five years, your business can be large enough to generate an income to live a decent life. If you want a higher standard of living, build a bigger business.

Everybody should be doing this after college. You go to school as a child, and then you go to college. After graduation, you get a job and start building your business at night. Within a couple years, you do quit your job and work on your business full time. In a few more years, you retire; you are free. Retirement is not where you sit and do nothing. Retirement is where you are free to do the things you love.

People, when given the opportunity, will be productive. It is natural. Can you imagine how wonderful the world would be if everybody was free to work the jobs that they loved? Oh, the productivity that there would be!
