Hate Your Job?
Millions of Americans hate their jobs. If you ask them they will tell you that they are unhappy with their pay, with their boss, with the work conditions, with their hours, with the job expectations, etc., etc., etc.
How did they get in this situation? Why did they pursue a job/career in which they would not be happy? Is it possible that they didn’t know what was ahead when they made this career choice?
Let’s take this one step at a time. Why are people unhappy with their pay? Is it because it is less than they want or is it because they know they will never make what they want in that particular job? In other words, would a person be willing to accept a smaller salary for a period of time if they felt that salary would increase over time? When asked most people said yes, accepting a smaller salary for a period of time was acceptable if a greater salary was indeed possible.
Why are most people dissatisfied with their bosses? Is it because they don’t want to be controlled or is it because the boss is a jerk? Let’s face it, some bosses are jerks! And, most of us don’t want to be controlled.
As far as the work conditions go, most of us would prefer to work in the same or similar conditions to our home. We want to be and feel safe and comfortable.
Although some people consider themselves night people, others are morning people and still others are mid-dayers. Whichever an individual is, he/she is more alert and responsive during those particular hours. Each of us will be more productive if we are working during the time that we are more alert.
During a hiring process there is usually a discussion about the job duties and responsibilities. One problem that often arises is that over time new expectations are added with little or no regard for the individual’s abilities. This can lead to unrealistic job expectations.
With these explanations it is easy to understand why so many people hate their jobs but what can be done about it. Working day after day at a job one hates must lead to frustration and unhappiness.
So how can one overcome all of this? The solution is so simple. Start Your Own Business! You will have unlimited earning potential, you will be your own boss, you will design your working conditions, you will set the hours and you will decide what you can do and what must be outsourced. This is the dream job!

Dear Eileen,
More was gained from my 90 minute consultation than from years of wading and wandering through the available information attempting to find a plan. I felt understood as a unique individual. The information and ideas learned were both inspiring and practical regarding opportunities I'd already wondered about plus many more I'd never considered. There is clarity in the immediate steps I'm now taking doing things that I enjoy plus I learned of many resources I hadn't known existed to look into during the coming weeks and months. Now, I have the beginnings of a flexible, workable plan and the awareness that I really can create the life I want to live and have the means to support that life.

Hi Eileen,
What a great idea! It's fresh and new and definitely has a lot of potential. I've never heard of anyone doing anything like that. And my husband could help me with the business cards as we have a computer program for that. Yes, I would definitely have to get a portfolio put together. Hmmm......there are a lot of possibilities with this idea. Thanks so much for the suggestion. I will definitely think about it. :-)
