YOUR PROFESSION AND YOU:
Professionals, regardless of their fields, be it medicine, law or accountancy, face a “no-win” situation today. They are either making a lot of money because of their talent and experience in that field but have no time to enjoy the same with their family, or they end up having neither money nor time at the end of the day.
You as a professional may be having an income that is much higher than those doing a job, but, you have to constantly update your knowledge to maintain that income and work long hours.
Usually, the more money you make, the lesser time you have to enjoy that money. Long vacations become a dream and even when you manage to go away for a week or two, the constant fear of losing clients, does not allow you to enjoy even that short holiday.
You are earning solely on basis of your ability to work/perform. Consequently, you cannot be replaced or substituted by your spouse in your absence so you cannot even afford to be sick for a long time. This leads to insecurity about your income source which is a very risky one, since it is entirely dependent on one person – YOU.
YOUR BUSINESS AND YOU:
No matter how much you would like to believe you are the owner of your business, it is not true, because you don't control your business, your business controls you.
You face day to day hassles with regard to increasing competition, constant expense of updating know-how and technology, your stock, debtors, creditors and thinning margins of profits etc.
If you desire to free yourself from these mounting pressures, you seriously need to take a look at this unique business so that you can appreciate everything it can give you, which you would never otherwise get by continuing your present business, within the next 2-5 years.
YOUR INDUSTRY AND YOU:
Running an industry means constant stress due to workers unions, fierce competition, rapidly changing customer preferences etc., and stress can lead only to ill health.
Apart from everything else you may gain by running an industry, after years of hard work, one thing is assured – it definitely gives you stress-related health problems.
Investments in shares and other related securities go bad overnight, adding further tensions. Insufficient, unreliable and sometimes even corrupt employees are another major part of this deal.
Family life, of course, is almost non existent and consequently the fun of making a lot of money and being famous in totally lost...
You certainly did not study and work so hard for this day to day endless drudgery, did you?
Inspite of the above mentioned drawbacks, why do you work so hard in your job/business or profession?
You do it to fulfill the dreams of -
a) Securing your family while you are fit and fine.
b) Material luxuries – a better home, car, personal possessions – Home Theater/DVD players.
c) Higher education for your children in India or abroad.
d) Discharge of debts – personal or business.
e) Vacation abroad.
f) Charity
g) Peaceful financial retirement before 60 years of age.
h) Pursuing hobbies, sports or other personal or spiritual goals etc.
How many above mentioned dreams do you actually, successfully realize after putting in 35-40 years of your life's prime time in hard work? Not too many right.
