Nobody Gets Rich Working For Someone Else - The Entrepreneurs Mindset

Nobody gets rich working for someone else. This is something I feel far too many people fail to grasp. I see people thinking I'll get educated, work hard and I'll become wealthy. It doesn't work that way. Almost nobody gets rich working for someone else.

If you truly want financial freedom and even better yet wealth, you need to strike out and do something on your own. Now that could be starting your own company, it could be investing, it could be getting into real estate and buying properties, but it's almost gurnateed you will never get rich strictly or solely being an employee of someone.

Nobody Gets Wealthy Being An Employee

Now of course there's always exceptions to the rule. Look at Mark Cubans internet radio/television company where employees had a stake in the company and everyone down to the janitors got rich. Sure those things happen at start-ups, but that said most people working at startups doin't do it for the pay, they do it because they know there's a chance getting in on the ground floor and helping to build a company they will be rewarded for doing so.

You don't have to leave your job to start a business. I'm a big fan of what people refer to as "side hustles". Now a side hustle to me and I think to most, is a business someone can startup in their spare time that requires not a lot of startup capital or equipment and something someone can do while working a full-time job. Now occasionally side hustles may turn into a full time full fledged business to where you can quit your job, othertimes they may just be some supplemental income, however that supplemental income is money you can put into investments or put to work for you so that you can get wealthy that way.

Now don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with working for someone else and having a career, but don't fool yourself thinking your going to be financially independent or wealthy  being an employee because it rarely happens.
