What’s the word

Creating Your Own Thing

I don’t feel at ease unless I’m creating something. It doesn’t really matter what it is, I just have to be active. The thing could even be failing from start to finish and I’ll still continue working on it. People need to create and things need to be created. That’s one of the great things about music and animation. An artist can keep creating in the same vein of the same creature for years. With the good, there are some obstacles that get in the way of creating your own thing. The first obstacle is a job. Devoting your time and attention to a 9 – 5 robs you of your two most precious assets, your time and attention. When you are creating something of your own, you have to spend these two assets wisely.

Now, don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with having a job. Having a job can help you to decide what it’s important to you and what isn’t. Let’s say you start on a project that requires at least 3 hours of work per day for you to meet your deadline. However, you use an hour preparing for work, an hour driving to get there, 8 hours working, plus 2 hours of overtime. Then, when you get home you’ve got to clean and do chores, maybe run to the store and by the time all of that is done you have a limited amount of time left before you have to get some sleep so you can do it all again. Well, this is where you begin to prioritize things. Do you watch a couple episodes of Netflix or do you write a few pages of music? Do you eat the food that you’ve been daydreaming about or do you get a good workout.

Follow A Leader

One of the best problems that an entrepreneur can encounter is not knowing what to do next. Deciding on the next move is the entire purpose of our role. We lead entire groups of people on different levels. From brand new members of our team to those who have been around since the beginning, we lead. It’s an ever revolving responsibility that never ends. Sometimes we forget that we are the sole proprietors of our incorporations. The rest of our company works on our behalf but they aren’t us. They are hired to carry out tasks and make decisions in lieu of our presence but no matter how capable and responsible they may or may not be, the responsibility is still ours. It is always ours.

Study Other Leaders

When you take on the capacity of the leader, it’s ok to cheat from those who have done what you are doing. Once again, you will always find yourself in the position of having to decide what to do next. You are the master navigator for the vessel that is your company. In this same analogy, other navigators have taken the same route. Do what they did. Learn from their successes and study their mistakes. This is what you must do forever when you create your own thing.

Read books. Read different texts that tell how a person overcame an obstacle and arrived at their destination. I’ve always preferred non-fiction books that tell me about real people with real life circumstances who really lived. After years of studying other people and their problems, I have learned that finding the answer to your question is not the only necessary benefit of this study. You can also attain new ideas and inspiration. As a result, fiction can offer inspiration.

Assets Before Overtime

This is the GodKing Pharaoh talking to you about working, making money and starting a business. For the longest time, I’ve been a person who recommends and encourages working lots of overtime whenever possible to earn a few more dollars. Having an abundance of tools changes a person’s status. It also turns a small business into an important organization . If I could say that I have many any mistakes in my past, I would say that my first and longest running mistake was getting rid of things. I have had several cars over the years. Collect assets before overtime.

A car is something that I can easily replace so I would do exactly that. But, things would be so different if I had kept every vehicle that I’ve ever bought. Today, I’d have about ten of them all together. Having ten vehicles that I own today would have a huge impact on my capabilities statement as an individual and a business.

Cash Earning Assets

Don’t be confused, we aren’t collecting things for the heck of collecting them. We don’t want to create a hoard. For entrepreneur who is interested in collecting assets, you need assets that fulfill different roles. One category of assets offers specific capabilities, like travel. If you have a boat, you can navigate the waters. When you have your own plane, you can fly to a new city. If you have a tow truck, you can relocate your own vehicles. Another category of assets offers regular cashflow.

Let’s say you do own a jet with a 12 passenger capacity. You immediately have the ability to move yourself and 11 other people around the country. However, things begin to change when you rent that jet to other people and companies to use. Now, the jet is no longer a piece of equipment that you spend money on and use for travel. It now earns you income without you working. The concept is simple but there is something about this lifestyle that is really difficult to get used to. In order to become comfortable you have to change who you are.

Nothing about changing who you are is easy, it takes daily work and it lasts for a long time. This is why most people don’t easily drift into the life of collecting and managing assets. Your focus has to be redirected toward the long term and away from immediate gratification. We have a natural tendency to avoid what brings us discomfort and indulge in things that satisfy us right now.

Selling Your Time

I’m no longer interested in selling my time for small wages. A salary of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars is not enough compensation to keep me confined to a building or an occupation for 8 hours per day. I’m just not interested in it anymore. Let’s say that I could improve my situation and state the new terms of my employment. I’d require one million dollars every year for selling the company my time each day.

The downside to being a new millionaire is that I would still have to commit to a year of work before I get all the money. More importantly, the work that I’ve done for that year only pays me once. Allow me to give you an example of what I mean by that. I will get paid for the streams on songs forever. Simply, I create a song or an album of songs and upload them to a streaming platform. This is an example of how work can continue to pay.

Keep your day job, there is nothing wrong with working. Remember, this information is for the entrepreneur. We all start with employment and we all have to work our way toward a life that pays us with assets.

Build a portfolio of assets to climb your way into the good life. This is how you create the opportunity for your children to be born into wealth. With each passing generation, your money and your possessions change hands.

Living In The Loop

Chicago is a big city that comes with lots of benefits. Living in the loop is probably the best decision that you can make as a Chicago resident. The environment, the options and the quality of people in the area are all better.

Lonely People With Animals

The city is a concrete world. It’s not an environment that’s made for animals, it’s made for us. We need and want concrete to walk on and drive on. Every third person in the city is walking around with a dog. They urinate and relieve themselves right there on the sidewalk where we commute by foot. Some of the mist beautiful restaurants are in the area. Many of them have outdoor patios where you can enjoy the food and the weather. However, while you dine, just feet away a dog stops by and takes a squat. It’s absolutely disgusting.

Plenty Of Traffic

Vehicles are always moving in the area and people are always walking. If you are a social individual and you like interacting with a lot of people then this is your area. There’s an odd thing that happens in this area, people do not look before they step into traffic. Most of the time people don’t even look up from their phones while they are

Expensive Living

There are many luxury apartment buildings in the area and the prices duly reflect their value. With a simple housing search, you can find a single bedroom apartment that costs $2,500. That’s insane. It’s insane to me but some people love it. Here I am complaining about the price of a luxury apartment but I did the same thing in Los Angeles. I rented a nice little single bedroom apartment in the heart of the city and it cost me more than two thousand dollars. At the time, I liked it. Now, I have grown out of that mindset and now I prefer a house every time.

This is going to sound like a completely conflicting statement to the previous paragraph. Here it goes, rent the expensive apartment. If an ounce of your being desires to live in that overpriced studio apartment then go do it. Make mistakes. Find out what you dislike about paying $1,500 for 500 square feet of living space. That’s not all though, when you live the experience yourself you get to decide what you like about it too.

Extreme Heat In Chicago

The weather in Chicago is finally hot. The sun is beaming and the city is vibrant. Bikers, motor cycle riders and drag racers are filling up the streets with their menacing activities. Barbecue smoke and aroma fill the air on every corner as the city bursts into summer. If you’re in the city then you can see notices on your phone warning of extreme heat in Chicago.

The Heat Will Open The Hydrants

It doesn’t take long for locals to begin relieving themselves from the high temperatures by opening up fire hydrants. It’s an innocent response that the kids often have to the summer weather but it can also be a small nuisance. For those who don’t know, the Fire Department does not close the fire hydrants in Chicago. From what I’ve heard, they used to, but now the water department takes care of those. So, if the kids open up your hydrants and they leave them open, then you can call the water department to have them turn it off.

Everyone Is Outside Everywhere

If you are the social type then this is the time of year that you may enjoy the most. People are outside congregating on nearly every street and corner. You can see people sitting on their porches and standing on sidewalks. If you need cigarettes or drugs, you don’t have to go far for it. The drug dealers are situated in front of almost every establishment that has constant foot traffic. The are absolutely unrelenting and they work in teams, there’s always someone there. From the time the stores open until they close, the drug dealers are there, marketing their products.

Helping People Too Much

Being a leader is great and being generous is great too. However, there is a such thing as helping people too much. It’s ok to allow people to endure their own struggle. There is a difference between being someone’s help and being their crutch. You should know whether the relationship is mutual. Generosity should be reciprocated in order for the effort to maintain balance.

Learn The Lesson

This is a difficult lesson to learn but it is an essential one to learn. You have to accept that people must be left to solve their own problems or suffer through them. Everyone can not be helped. You can’t do it. Some people will always need a hand no natter what. At some point you’ll have to detach that life line that they so desperately cling to.

Be The Help But Not A Crutch

Help should be temporary. There is a point where a person should take over and begin livin their lives without the aid of another responsible adult. Sooner or later, they’ve got to be willing to take back control of the reins.
