everyone wanna be bosses no one wanna be workers, it dont work like that.
You're forefathers handwork made white people rich, the blacks who were able to build wealth from their work did it by working smart and out thinking others.
nah it actually does work like that. Putting in work and being a worker are two different things. A worker is happy to be employed, when you are putting in work when you get a role you are always thinking about what needs to be done to get to the next role/position. Or at least thats how I go about things. For example People will go form Junior Programmer to Programmer 2 and be happy, thats not a bad thing, but the moment you get that promotion you need to be thinking "ok now how will this title help men get to the next role ASAP". When you are comfortable in a role you begin to lose your mental sharpness. For example people get a "nice" job but when they are suddenly laid off they dont know how to look for jobs or do anything besides their job anymore. IMO you must always asses where you are in life every few months and see if it aligns with where you want to be for your end goal.everyone wanna be bosses no one wanna be workers, it dont work like that.
You need to read your history. Black business owners today are standing on the shoulders of the maids, bus drivers, and other blue collar workers who stood up and pushed for greater access to more opportunities to engage in entrepreneurship. The Civil Rights legislation of the 60's paved the way for federal, state, and local protections that many black business owners have today. This isn't a them vs. us thing, this is a 'we' thing. If you can't understand that, then you really shouldn't be in business because that rhetoric that you're spitting isn't going to attract the "dumb people" to support your business.
But what is cost? Is it time? What about the possible ROI?Not true, taking on least risk/most cost effective route doesn't = fastest way.
What makes something "hard"? Whats hard for you may not be hard for me, so if me and you do the same thing and you felt you worked hard, can you discredit me saying I dont think what I did was hard? All because you "worked hard" to do something doesn't mean that is the way or only way to do something. If I go to college, go to med school, and become a doctor, do my job for 20 yrs and become a millionaire and say "This was easy", YOU may think I worked hard, but I could think other wise. Paying dues ie.Time in a position is not necessarily working hard if your time in the role was a cake walk for you. Putting in 20 yrs at a company struggling is "working hard", putting in 20 yrs and not being stressed is doing your job.
Now whose fault is it that others are trying to pursue things they are not good at? The underlying message is finding your lane and prospering. Society tells us if we aren't struggling to make some "high wage" salary then we aren't worthy of anything. We live in a society where people aren't pursuing careers in things they want to do or love because people flat out dont know what the want to do with themselves.I feel we generally consider something hard if the majority can't do it with success.
Just because you find something easy, I would hope that you weren't so far removed to realize every one is not gifted to do what people consider hard. Hence the high pay rate STEM people get.
and on the same token, Just because YOU have the natural ability to do something, does not discredit people who have to "work hard" to do something. This is why I generally don't like to give advice on things, because there is a certain lack of context when you're not in some one else's shoes. You can't just simply say"look I found this easy, this is how I did it, and if you can't do it this way then you suck at life"
That's why great player's tend to be horrible coaches, they fail to realize that they played on a level that was absolutely EXTREME compared to what the average player was capabale of. It seems you're doing the same in this thread. "oh just work smart and you'll be fine" Not taking into context the industry, the person, etc
