and it weird like if you ask it a little
kid what do you want to be when you grow
up isn’t it weird that the answer is
never judge I mean often you ask little
kids and they go a doctor a lawyer or an
engineer as if those professions are the
pinnacle of all professions you know I
want to meet a kid who goes like butcher
you know you ask a kid what do you want
to be in the future and they go
something like a baggage handler at the
airport now that would have been an
interesting kid but I can remember when
I was a kid I I never wanted to do an
ordinary thing you know because when
you’re a child your brain simplifies
things you don’t really think of a
profession being a profession per se you
just look at people who do it and you
think whether you want to be them or not
so I used to look at for example I had a
friend whose father is a famous rich
doctor but I never liked him I mean the
dude was always busy and his house
smelled like kinder nido milk I never
liked that so I didn’t want to become
that I remember wanting to become
someone interesting you know happy and
interesting and I remember very clearly
that I wanted money even at a young age
because I come from a poor family so we
struggled a lot my father is working
class man you know he pushed through
life he worked 70 80 hours a week so
money was an issue so I remember one
thing to have money in my life and one
thing to do something really interesting
so I set out to do that but just like
everybody else reality slapped me in the
face you know the first job that I got I
was studying so I didn’t have enough
money to continue my study so I decided
to get a job entry-level job through a
connection you know it was data entry
for an airline
so I sat there typing away you know it
was cargo available so very boring job
so I kept doing this for two years
I remember feeling really depressed
after a couple of years because I think
you know most of you can relate that if
you do something you don’t enjoy
I mean who enjoys data-entry I don’t
unless you’re on drugs you’re high and
sitting there typing you’re never gonna
enjoy it
so that’s what happened with me I
started feeling depressed but people who
are depressed they they often don’t know
that they are depressed I mean unless
they get a professional diagnosis or
they stop being depressed only then they
know that I was depressed for a long
time so I was doing this job two years
and I got to a point you know it’s the
same thing every single day extremely
boring
the stress that I have to work five days
a week every day about ten hours
finishing a thick pile of variables that
wasn’t pleasant at all
so I remembered when I was being a kid
and I said to myself well this is not
interesting I mean it’s it’s getting me
some money but this is not interesting
so I tried to make it interesting
because I wanted to fulfill that dream
when I was a kid
interesting and money those things I
wanted to fulfill through an entry-level
job so I did what I had to do I saw
pattern in numbers I saw that certain
commodities are being shipped at certain
times of the year so I concluded a plan
it was really not rocket science it was
pure observation you know I saw a
pattern movements of certain Goods at
certain times of the year and I proposed
a plan to my boss luckily enough he took
me seriously and I said you know what
let’s give it a shot so we offered
special discounts to certain commodities
at specific times of the year and
hallelujah at worked so the company made
more profit and as a result I got a
promotion and I was I was so happy for
about like a couple of days and then I
was depressed again because that’s what
happens you do a boring job and that’s
what happens to you but you get sucked
into it
you get sucked into this bubble of
comfort knowing that tomorrow is nothing
extraordinary I mean it’s just is gonna
be just like the day just like the day
before it is extremely convenient to go
and do the same job every single day
because you know the outcome
there’s no challenges you know what’s
gonna happen to you right and I see many
of you are students I mean I see young
faces maybe you can’t relate to this but
picture this you’re studying something
like biochemistry and by mistake you
stepped into a lecture about corporate
governance and you’re too shy to get out
so you just sit through that lecture
which is two hours now imagine doing
this for 10 hours every single day it’s
it’s not fun it is extremely depressing
but for some reason people don’t change
people who do boring jobs they keep
dukedom thinking that tomorrow may be
different so the equation is that I
trade in now in order to have a better
future but if you think about it future
is a tall concept it’s always now isn’t
it it’s it’s literally always now the
future never arrives what are you gonna
do you’re gonna keep doing the same job
every single day for 20 years so what’s
gonna happen to you within those ways
you’re an accountant you do your job
well you become the head of your
department and then what what’s gonna
happen well I mean what is the best-case
scenario if you stayed doing your boring
job every single day the best-case
scenario is that you keep doing what
you’re doing at a larger scale and you
get paid slightly more you never become
rich never so what are you supposed to
do then if you have this problem if
you’re going to do your job every single
day bored not having enough money and
keep doing it this is I’m sorry that
there’s no good way to put it this is
extreme least bit because if you’re
doing it for the money well you have to
notice you’re not making that money that
you want to make and you’re doing
exactly the same thing hoping for a
better outcome but there’s no better
outcome we all know the best case
scenario I mean look at your father for
example you know most of us we have
fathers who worked 30 years in the same
company or doing the same thing that’s
it this is your future right there when
you’re a kid you look at your father do
you really want to become that mostly
kids say no I want to do something
different so what’s stopping you then
why don’t you tender your resignation
today you go and you say you know what
that’s it I’m walking out I want to do
something else well often people are
scared because they don’t want to lose
that money but that’s not really the
reason because what you’re doing this to
make money but you’re not making enough
money so the very reason you don’t have
money is because you’re doing it do you
see the circular argument here it’s it’s
a vicious circle and it sucks you in
nothing is challenging about this
there’s nothing interesting about doing
something you don’t enjoy so what is the
alternative you do something that you
enjoy but most people just like when I
was a kid I never know what I wanted to
do I don’t know what I like I thought
there’s something wrong with me because
all the other kids they had it figure it
out I mean I want to be a doctor I want
to be an engineer I didn’t know what I
want to be so how do you know what you
want to do how do you know what really
really attracts you you get it you get
to try it on there’s no there’s no
better way to do it you got to
experiment think so the first the very
first step that you need to do is you
quit your boring job once you do that
you go and you try something different
and something else and something else
until you find joy in something that you
do
and then guess what you will make money
because if you do something that you
enjoy you do it well and a well done job
pays you a lot of money you would be
surprised
I mean people pay money for a well
rendered service it’s really that that
simple money making is not rocket
science you just do something that you
enjoy as a result you will be rich the
other day I had a plumbing problem in my
house so I called the plumber and the
plumber came he didn’t do a good job the
same problem occurred I called another
plumber and the new plumber came and he
was I tell you it was the most beautiful
scene I’ve seen in my he made love to my
sink I mean he did the job perfectly it
was flawless
he enjoyed his job there’s nothing wrong
with that what’s wrong with that what’s
wrong with being a plumber and you
enjoyed plumbing you can do that and in
every aspect
guess what mine I know bloggers they’re
not even talented you know they just sit
at home wearing a sweater typing away
you know with like to read those dusts
on their t-shirt and they make more
money than five engineers so what is it
about your boring job that keeps you
coming every single day think about it
what are you doing what do you achieve
doing that job quit it what’s stopping
you what is stopping you isn’t it lovely
to go to sleep not knowing what tomorrow
is gonna bring to you here you go
so that’s what you need to do the first
step you quit your boring job second
step you try different things go ahead
try be a plumber be like that plumber
try something you know when you enjoy it
you keep doing it and it doesn’t feel
like a job anymore it’s your lifestyle
you become that guy which you look up to
when you were a kid
so for me my experience was I quit my
boring job I was scared to death
I really was so afraid I was never that
afraid in my whole life because I was
relying on that money I quit my job and
I started a business with a couple of
beautiful individuals now we have a
multi-million dollar company so I guess
what I want you to do is to change don’t
be afraid there’s nothing to lose here
what are you going to lose your studio
apartment you’re not gonna lose that you
can do anything else you complete there
are food critics on the internet you can
do that it’s there’s only so many
options so the disconnect from reality
you go about your day every single
morning and you have this feeling that
it’s not you who is doing it like the
your consciousness is somewhere in your
head we often feel that don’t you like
when you think about yourself you think
that your self is located somewhere in
your head and that is a disconnect from
reality there’s no physical place for
your consciousness there’s only your
experience so if you have a bad
experience every day you’re depressed
you can stop that you have the option
just stop it stop it find something that
you love do it you do it well it brings
you money so in conclusion I just want
you to know that it’s really warm and
fuzzy feeling that when you change
something that you hate so much it’s
liberating and you go to bed and you
don’t know what tomorrow holds and it
conducted yourself as best as you can
and you become rich as a result that’s
all it doesn’t matter what rich people
do I see those text books you know
people go and read like the daily
routine of Steve Jobs it doesn’t matter
why does it matter I mean like Warren
Buffett the guy eats breakfast at a deli
he pays like three dollars for a meal
that is not what it’s like rich that is
his experience it
doesn’t matter what they do there’s no
secret they just do what they love can
you name one millionaire who’s doing
something they don’t enjoy guess what
they don’t exist they all do something
that they like that’s it
this is the money-making equation folks
solve settled so those were some of my
ideas I hope they were worth sharing
