I was born in Dongnao Island, another small island in Pingtan Island. This island is very beautiful. The fifth issue of Where is Dad Going to Play was filmed on my island.
It's really a beautiful island now, but I didn't feel it when I was a child. Because the traffic is inconvenient, I have to take a boat every time I go to the county seat. Unlike the current ferry, the ship swings back and forth 90 degrees, but I'm scared. Every time I throw up at home, I wonder if the boat will sink ... I'm so scared!
I am luckiest to eat seafood at the seaside, and I am also very happy to have fish to eat in times of material shortage. There are probably two kinds of life by the sea: 1, fishing, and 2. Each family raised funds to buy a transport ship together, and some people dug tunnels.
My father lives by fishing and transporting. This kind of work is to live at sea, facing the sea and facing the blue sky. Family members who have worked on iron boats for a long time are in poor health. Sailing at sea is not like driving on land. When they are tired, they always have to stay up late and drive to their destination. They eat less fresh vegetables and suffer from liver disease.
These are inevitable hardships for them, and this is the nature of work.
I think the most uncontrollable factors, such as typhoons and storms at sea, although you will know the weather forecast before going out to sea, you will always meet a harsh boss who will deliver the goods to the destination one day in advance and let you sail.
In the stormy waves, no matter how many tons a ship has, it looks very small. The second brother encountered a typhoon during a transportation, but it was still far from the shore, and there were still two days' journey from the destination. Knowing that the typhoon was coming, the boss told the captain to move forward.
At first, everyone felt that the danger was approaching, and the waves rushed into the forecastle, trying to anchor in shallow water first, but the captain wanted to continue. Finally, the crew forced him to anchor with a knife and waited for the typhoon to pass for two days at sea. Escape safely.
Both my elder brother and my second brother are doing this job. They always say that they are afraid to leave the ship, but they keep going. They must raise their wives and children at home. Of course, this kind of work is difficult to take care of. It's not up to you to go home once a few months for short trips and once a few months for long trips.
As for me, I was probably influenced by my mother's words since I was a child. My mother always said, "If you want to succeed, you have to go out and develop outside." Although she doesn't know what "outside" means, my simple understanding is that under no circumstances should you return to live on this island. It's futile to live on this island all your life.
After studying to work, I really want to make money quickly, but I don't want to study. My grades are not good either. The first job in life went to the factory and stayed up all night to work overtime. The money I got was pitiful, a few hundred dollars a month.
Later, I didn't want to stay in the factory, and I felt that my old aunt was working beside me. A job without challenges doesn't suit my personality. Later, I contacted the marketing of clothing companies and the sales of the financial industry, and jumped out to start my own company, but I felt that it was hard and anxious to start a company. When you are working, the hardware conditions and responsibilities of each department are clear, and the company is ready for you. You just need to mind your own business. But when you first tried to start a company, besides considering your own survival, you had to make employees profitable. Otherwise, who would come to work in your company?
At the beginning of your business, you must always consider the cost. You don't have much cash flow on hand. If you can stand the test of time, you can do it yourself, but you will also lose sight of one thing and lose important business. A company still needs a foothold at the beginning, but the business is done by people, so it is very important to recruit salesmen. It has artistic management, which was simply a "literary word" for me at that time. My simplicity and rudeness depend on the result, allowing multiple employees. I still go my own way. I feel that I am working hard to succeed. Why not? That confrontational heart makes the tension in the office stronger and stronger. In addition to these, you have to cope with the daily expenses of the company, industrial and commercial taxes, which makes you physically and mentally exhausted and helpless!
I met a friend from the same trade some time ago. She is sharing it with us. She is a manager of the company. As soon as the employees saw her coming to the office and having a good cup of tea, they went out one by one and ate by themselves. Everyone went to play at the weekend and didn't call her. She thinks management is a good failure. She said that the company spends money to hire employees, but some employees are unfamiliar with the business for a long time. Once, I couldn't hear the salesman communicate with the customer on the phone. I grabbed the phone and told myself. She obviously felt that the salesman was shaking all over, and she scared the employees behind her to avoid her. In fact, it is not easy to stand in your own position! There is no right or wrong!
I can understand her feelings, the company needs to survive, and everyone wants employees to do their best. Not necessarily what you expected. You really think differently for each position. The mentality of migrant workers sometimes really falls into stereotypes. I finished my work in eight hours today, and I don't have to think about whether I am more diligent or not. I have started to run away from the company after work.
It is not easy to work in every position. Starting a business is to work for yourself. The first to arrive at the company, the last to leave, sometimes the capital preservation is counted as one month, and sometimes the surplus point is enough to pay your own salary. In addition, the product is unstable and will dissolve after one year.
Talking about these experiences is to sort out your thoughts with yourself. Why did our efforts come to nothing? We are in the E, S, B and I quadrants, and we have been working hard in the E and S quadrants!
It is difficult to solve the problem of financial freedom with or without this job.
Career will face the following situations:
As an employee, we have to go out to work and earn money to support our families. Everyone is like this. We think this is normal, right?
Job responsibilities, whether basic employees, managers or professionals, will encounter the following problems:
1: When you stop working, your money is gone. Whether you fire your boss or get fired, your skills can't keep up. In short, your work stops and your income stops!
2. Time is gone, money is gone, physical strength is gone, money is gone,
Time limit, everyone basically works 8- 10 hours a day. Before the age of 20, I basically studied at school and worked until I was 60. During this period, he will work for about 40 years, but he can't keep up with his body if he wants to work. He doesn't work longer than he does, but now his life expectancy is longer. One day, we may live to be above 100.438+020. Then you can imagine life after 70. ......
3. Market customers are ultimately owned by the company. When we leave a company, almost all the customers who have worked hard before can't take them away, which has nothing to do with us.
4. Because we are employed and the tax is personal income tax, our income is diluted. Just shout "tax honor".
A job, leaving home to work, the family can't take care of it, this kind of helplessness, who doesn't want to give children more companionship. Healthy spiritual growth!
But employment means that you can't be the master, and you can't help yourself! Is this the life we want? Don't say that everyone is the same, we are all alive, but whether we are awake or asleep! To live awake is to know that the pain at the moment is pain, not paralysis!
With the development of society, the era of employment has passed, and a job can no longer meet the needs of life. Many people start businesses. Prepare to start a business!
I will live longer in the future. I am still young and have a chance to change.
Then, summing up these traditionally visible results, why did I choose the career of Melaleuca?
(There are Melody's business model, four systems, and ten characteristics. The previous articles will not be elaborated here. )
The first reason for engaging in the career of Melaleuca is to be a host. Be the boss!
1: Let me have a career and Melaleuca will help me start my own business.
Melaleuca has been very mature in R&D, production, service and logistics distribution for 33 years, so we don't need to do these things. All I have to do is change my daily necessities into Melaleuca's brand, and the hardware company will do it for you.
In the traditional entrepreneurship, it is already difficult for us to do one. Melaleuca has done all this for us, and Melaleuca is helping us start a business.
2. Not only a career, a big career, but also a successful enterprise (the system makes money for your work)
We are reading the book "The Road to Financial Freedom for Rich Dad". There are four quadrants in the book, of which quadrant B is the system. When there are 500 customers, it is an enterprise. Making melody today is not the concept of making a little money, but building a system. After the system is successfully built, the system will work for us, make money for us and subvert the traditional time and physical limitations!
When we have 500 customers, 1000 customers, we have three heads and six arms, which are all handed over to the company for service.
Our job is to establish a group of market customers, which will eventually be owned by us and the company. Suppose our city has 65,438+0,000 customers, which will always be ours and can be passed down from generation to generation.
4. Our income comes from the continuous consumption of market customers, resulting in continuous income.
Product positioning People's livelihood must be daily necessities, so there is recycling consumption and recycling consumption. Brush your teeth and take a bath no matter how poor you are. The company consumes customized quantity once a month, and each member continues to buy more than 340 products of Melaleuca every month. Just like insurance companies pay monthly fees, there will be a continuous cash inflow if they continue to spend. We will feel at ease.
We have a clear source of funds and a clear time!
Our income depends on the number of customers in the market. A customer has about 30 yuan RMB. (For example: 500 market customers *30 yuan = 1.5 yuan/month! There are 10000 members, one is 300000) How many members have seen our ambition!
Only when the income time is clear and the income amount is clear can we plan our finances well and feel at ease. Peace of mind lies in determining the income, the income this month and the income next month.
6; A customer is worth about100000 assets.
Membership income, sustainable! He is not a one-time business!
7; You own the market, you own assets, and your income comes from assets.
Assets are just like the interest you get when you deposit 20 million in the bank, which is about 1.3 million/month, and that 20 million is there. Your monthly interest is the return on assets, and we also pay dividends at Melaleuca 1.5! Melaleuca's 20 million assets will not only accumulate, but also multiply.
This is the difference between traditional employment, entrepreneurship and Melaleuca entrepreneurship. The business model itself has rich factors, not how powerful the individual is!
