I’ll be discussing the first shift I made to stop trading time strictly for money.
This is an important topic for me because it truly embodies the meaning of being an entrepreneur.
It’s making that decision to make a living in a way that’s different from status quo.
We’re taught to go to school during all of our young adult lives to do exactly that; trade our time for money.
I’ll be explaining in depth about the choice I made to veer away from those traditional teachings, and what it took to decide and ultimately commit to finally stop trading my time for money.
Let’s get into it!
The first shift I made to stop trading time strictly for money
I had plenty of different moments that could qualify for meeting the requirements of this shift. I could probably go with mentioning the temp jobs I would take. In a way it was contracting work, but another indicator that proved I was on my way was deciding to sell merchandise for a brand I would manage at the time. The point was that my effort put into a moment that could be duplicated essentially was the beginning of a new way to earn.
Did leverage ever play a factor in my experience?
Leverage absolutely played a factor in my experience, because it revealed to me that what I see up front doesn’t total up to everything that’s available.
I learned from there that bringing something to the table is different than absolutely nothing.
I would also learn how to distribute benefits this way.
They would be tough calls at times, but I would have the responsibility to balance attention in one sector over another.
