How to Get Rich—Works Best if You’re Unemployed
It’s hard to get rich if you’re working. Your time is used up slaving for someone else and that means you have no time to develop how to get rich.If you’re unemployed, you have an advantage. First, you have some time to think. You have time to plan.Most importantly, you have time to understand that the reason you’re laid off is that you’ve been seeking the wrong work and what you’ve been working at the last ten years will never get you rich.If you’ve been terminated as an administrative assistant, the a foolish thing to do is apply for jobs as an administrative assistant.Why pursue for a job that got you laid off in the to begin with and had no possibility of having you get rich?
Realize that the reason you don’t have a job is that people don’t need what you offer! I don’t say this to make you feel bad, I say this to tell you that it’s time you offered what people want. I see lots of hard luck stories on TV and in the newspaper.People out of work because no one needs what they offer and these people don’t offer what others will pay for. Would now be a good idea to start offering what people want so that you can always make money and get paid and get on the road to get rich?
In a moment, I will share with you what others are always willing to pay for.But first, you need to realize that you can learn a new skill. You do not learn new skills by going to school.I see thousands of unemployed people going to school to learn a new skill—a new skill that no one needs in a weak economy!The skills that have true value are not taught in colleges or vocational schools. All of these classes have value ONLY if someone will hire you. It’s much better if you don’t need anyone to hire you.It’s much better if you understand how to get rich yourself or if you have a know-how that people will ALWAYS desire no matter what the economic conditions.
When I go to my job, I see this gentleman pushing a garbage can on wheels and in the trash can are all the tools to clean windows. If you put this guy in a suit, he could easily be a corporate vice president and I would not be surprised if he lost his job at such a position. But does he stupidly apply for more jobs as a corporate vice president so that the same thing would happen to him again, so that he could get laid off again and repeat the cycle of being at the affect of the economy or another person’s business?You can’t get rich in that manner and this guy knows it.To continue, this gentleman goes from store to store downtown, and offers the business proprietor to wash windows. I am certain that he earns 0+ per day as there are thousands of stores in the downtown and if he charges a small fee (e to ), he gets plenty of business. He may not know it but at least he is on the path to get rich.
He won’t get rich cleaning windows but watch what can occur. He asks each store owner if they would like to have him come back and wash the windows in two weeks. Enough store owners say yes.So now, he hires an unemployed person for an hour and has him wash the windows for the retail stores that desire their windows washed every two weeks. Our entrepreneur continues to visit new stores and get more new “accounts” and in a few months, has 4 people working for him and is earning 0,000 a year and will never, ever be beholden to anyone. He will never be laid off. And he can develop his business as big as he wants because he can go to the next city and replicate this success. If at some time in the future there is no demand for window washing, then he will clean toilets or clean houses or paint or do whatever it is that people want. Does that make a lot more sense—to offer people what they want rather than to keep sending out your resume offering businesses what they DON’T want?Start thinking of yourself not as an administrative assistant or a loan processor or an elementary school teacher or whatever it is you got laid off from, but as a provider of things and services that people want. Let me tell you what people want.
If you happen to have any skill at fixing things, great.People always need things repaired in their home or work place and everyone they call is unreliable. You could be the first reliable fix-it professional.You would quickly get hired again and again.The last worker I hired to fix stuff in my office showed up late, left with work undone and was overall not productive.Will I call him in the future? No. Will I have a need to have things fixed? Yes.
Are you a people person? Then go take the Sandler Training and learn how to sell. If you can sell you will always have work and can easily get rich. You can walk into any business, even in this poor economy and tell them you will see their products and services and be paid commission only.Plenty of business owners will retain you in a flash.If you can genuinely sell, a know-how that even most sales professionals don’t have, you will have money in your pocket every day. Want to earn more? Just sell items that are more expensive and earn larger commission checks.
I am writing this just before Christmas. In the next 2 days, lots of people will be driving to their relative’s house for the holidays.If you buy 0 of flowers down at the flower mart in the a.m. and set up at a busy intersection, you could readily market those flowers for 0. People will see you and think “we should bring some flowers to Aunt Martha.” Just look around and ask yourself “what do people want?” The more answers you have for that question, the more ways to get rich and you can leave your old life of unemployment behind.
