Some of The Forces Keeping You In The Rat Race by mentorandfriend(m): 9:08pm On Jun 13, 2016
The Rat Race is a very crazy place to be in. It is a wearisome cycle of routine; and as Kim Kiyosaki puts it, Unrewarding routine weakens the spirit.

Business mentor, Andy Turner has this to say about the Rat Race:

The Rat Race is a situation in which one day, we wake up and feel as if we're trapped by our own circumstances. It's a frustrating, hard-to-break lifestyle that usually forces us to stay in jobs we don't always enjoy due to the multitude of financial obligations hanging over us.

In fact, most of the people you see in town, with seemingly good-paying jobs often feel very close to poverty because they're caught in the Rat Race. They know it. Most people are a paycheck or two away from financial ruin. As a result, they tend to stick with the same jobs for fear of being poor.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE FORCES KEEPING YOU IN THE RAT RACE.


Business mentors, Robert Kiyosaki and Andy Turner do this better than anyone I know; so let me attempt to give you a description of what I learnt from their books and webinars about the forces keeping you in lack and poverty.

1) Education.

Education has shown us a model of life like this: Go to school, get good grades, get a job, work hard, save for retirement, and live happily ever after. Most times, you don't get to live happily ever after.

School never teaches us how to declare independence from the Rat Race and from the paycheck.

If all you'll live on in this your life is on the paycheck, then you'll be in the Rat Race for a long time to come. You'll keep praying you don't lose your job to the uncertainties and chaos that is governing humanity. This is not a good way to live your life.

2) Fear .

For some people, their biggest fear is in losing a job. To minimise the risks that come with not having a job, they enrol in online classes, looking for methods to keep their jobs, outsmart co-employees, and suck up to their boss. At the end, you'll never still control the risks so long as you have an employee who has the power to fire you.

This fear paralyses your initiatives to think outside the box. All you focus on is how not to lose your job.

3) Hatred for extra work .

The business of creating passive income will require that you put in time and effort, and in due time, it will reward you for that time.

TAKE ACTON TODAY.

I just made an attempt to summarise these three books below in few sentences. You can get them and read and start planning for a future your children will be proud of.

Why We Want You To Be Rich by Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki.

Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki.

We have to know that getting and keeping a paid job is not the only option available to us. Entrepreneurship is another great option and we need to start talking about this better option more than ever before.

Yes taking action despite all your fears is a major key to breaking through. And I have something you should just take action on now.
You don't have to be broke or remain broke. If you can get a right opportunity, your status will change.
Try this one, and you will never be poor again.
