They say entrepreneurs, like us, only work half days – we just get to choose which 12 hours.

Har har HARRRRRDY har har!

But seriously, maybe there’s something to that.

There is something exhilarating about sitting in the Captain’s Chair, charting your own course, and steering your own boat.

I would know!

So while you laugh good-naturedly at all the jibes about how your boss is a jerk for “making you” work past 4:30 pm (or how nice it is of “your boss” to let you come into work whenever), keep your eyes on the prize and remember:

1) You’ll Earn Far More for Who You Are Than What You Do – as the star of your show, it’s your Celebrity Branding that persuades prospects to invest in you.

2) Wealth Rewards Risk and Wealth Rewards Speed – what do you mean, we need to form a workgroup and have meetings? FORGET THAT! Take the wheel, press down the accelerator, and confidently chug toward your results. Obstacles? Use the steering wheel to go around them!

3) Serve First, Serve Often, and Keep Serving – reciprocity is a powerful thing. People help those who help themselves and help others. Remember, the world goes around.

4) You’ll Experience More Adventure and Reward if You Stop Waiting and “Just Say Yes” More Often – you’re not toiling a year to get that 3% “raise” here. With the right, 2020-current skills, you can print your own money.

Are you ready to take the wheel?

It may be a shorter journey than you at first imagined.
