Why Do You Work So Hard At Your Day Job

July 20, 2021 by Claude Fullinfaw Leave a Comment

What motivates us to work so hard at our day job?

FEAR! Fear is what motivates us every day to work

No one out there in the whole wide world asked any of us to work so hard at a living. Instead it is us who work out of fear of missing out. We have set high expectations of what we deserve and then strive all our lives to achieve those dreams. We don’t want to miss out or be seen that we are failures.

Now…

There is nothing wrong about dreaming and striving for good things that possibly can make us happy in this life. Its a great feeling to be able to strive for what we want. Achieving is a sign of growth. If we are not growing we are dying. Just look at nature ….

In nature if plants are not growing they are in slow decline, heading towards death.

So as humans we too should keep on keeping on and work towards our dreams.

One of the other reasons we work so hard comes from the example set by our society. Society has shown us that if we don’t work hard at something we will never achieve anything.

The first example we have in our lives is watching our parents work hard for a living from a young age. Parents instill this great work ethic into us. However in the 21st Century life has exposed us so many new possibilities/opportunities. We no longer have to just depend on hard work. We can for the first time use our minds instead and do very well. Just look at what people like Bill Gates (Microsoft) and Bezos have done in this world in their short life span. Ordinary people becoming extraordinary. So can you.

But before we move forward lets look at out lives in a day and see why we just don’t have any time.

A Glimpse Into Our Day!

How many of us complain that we don’t have

enough time in the day to do the things we love.
Example pursue a hobby,
take up exercise,
spend time with our aging parents, or
time with our new born baby.

Where has our time gone or being spent on?

So lets look what your day look like?

Have you taken time to look at what your day is each and every day, or almost everyday in the week.

Lets start with Sunday…

Sunday morning begins happy as it’s still the weekend. Off we head out for a family breakfast or invite a few friends over for lunch. Everything is happy and rosy until around 5pm when we start to be plagued with a feeling about work.

We must start preparing for work the next day. Even before the working week begins work has taken over our lives. The ironing of clothes, preparing meal boxes and getting to bed is foremost in our minds, dampening the beautiful day we just been just experiencing.

Most of us dread going back to work on Monday. In fact we have coined phrases “it’s hump day” for the half way mark of the week, or “thank God it’s Friday” or “Happy Friday“. We do we hate or dread work so much when it provides us with our livelihood?

Why cant each day be happy is my question.

Now lets move into Monday…

All night we lie in a semi coma tossing and turning hoping the alarm doesn’t go off at 4.30am in the morning (most people may wake at 5am). When the alarm rings we jump up from bed and the first thing we think about is work. Most often we forget to say hello to our loved ones lovingly.

Getting ready and what will the work load be like is our focus. Its not about looking out of the window thinking “Wow, its such a beautiful day outside. Lets enjoy every minute of it“. Isn’t that sad.

We get ready in a hurry, pack our kids into the car and hurry off to work. How many of us talk loving to each other early morning? Not many as we are stressed about what lies ahead at work. Work dominates our lives.

Our day moves along at a fast pace and we just hoping the 5pm chime comes soon for us to leave for home, freedom. But is freedom really awaiting us?

We are exhausted after the first day at work, Monday.

Well, we do leave eventually for home, exhausted. However, we are not thinking of having a great time. Its about preparing dinner, getting our lunches ready for work the next day and ironing our clothes. Get the kids into bed and tuck ourselves in with the alarm set for 5am. In-fact we repeat everything we did 24 hours before on Sunday. Isn’t this sad.

Now, the funny thing is this cycle goes on for each day of the week. The only excitement we have momentarily is on Friday afternoon when we leave work. Thank God, its Friday syndrome sets in. We are set free momentarily for the next 2 days we think.

Friday it’s party time. Most of us head for dinner to the local restaurant with family or friends or we get a takeaway and enjoy Netflix. Its the best feeling we have had for the week.

Then comes Saturday…

We have the shopping to do, the yard to keep clean and cooking and washing. By late Saturday we are exhausted. Maybe we will have friends over for dinner for one last fling at freedom.

Is This The Meaning Of Life…

To just work hard?

So my question to you is this how do you want to live your life. Why should we live this way all our working life. Certainly there is a smarter way. We just have to find it.

I shall blog my experiences here of what I have experienced and how I am working towards my freedom. You can too. If you come across this page come back and read other posts here that I have.

How Can A Mum Work And Create Passive Business Income Part Time

April 7, 2020 by Claude Fullinfaw Leave a Comment

How Can Stay At Home Mums Build A Passive Income Business?

I am going to share how a Mum can stay at home this week from her work and earn extra income immediately. And with very little effort. Called part time effort!

Are you listening?

The question is how can a mother supporting her young children be able to work at home and still care for her young ones. If you are a mum right now wanting more time for your kids is this important? Working from home? I bet it is.

For most Mums this may only be a dream. However if I were to tell you right now that this can be a reality this very week will you listen to me. It sure can be if you willing to stretch your imagination and look outside the box. Nothing is impossible.

Now earning extra income may be doable but what if you can make this extra cash more sweet but turning it into passive income. Let me mention that “are you are prepared to work?” “Prepared to put in the effort to earn?”

Why not learn how to make the income you get passive instead of linear. Wouldn’t that be nice?

PS: If you are not sure what linear and passive income is I shall explain this in another post this week.But for now linear is income you earn if you work. No work no income. Its related to time you put in. Passive income on the other hand is about doing the work once and getting paid multiple times. Which one is more exciting? Passive income sure is!

Here is a short story. I love stories!

Just a few days ago I was speaking to an acquaintance of mine and was talking to him about passive income. He said “don’t you need to have money invested to earn passive income?” I told him not so. Its just one way to earn passive income by having money invested. However there are different ways to earn passive income with little or no cash invested. His ears started to tune in as he not only wants to earn more money right now but has very little passive income to his name for the future.

So Mums, are you open to learn how to make more money this week? Better still are you open to know that you can turn that income into passive stream of money next month, next year and in the future. All by starting this week.

A bit about me!

So let me tell you a bit of myself now. I live in Brisbane with my wife. Like yourself I too was once looking for the opportunity to make extra income. Unlike many people I started to think what if I could make an income and if it could flow in each week in the future. I found a few opportunities and realized that there are companies out there that can help me get my dream. Today I do have two streams of passive income, both still growing and it allows me to work less in my day job and allows me to focus more on my passive income businesses.

I can show you what I do and you can #WorkWithMe on creating passive income while you #LearnWithMe.

Send me an email by using the contact form above and I shall share more. Looking forward to meeting you soon and #WorkingWithMe on realizing your dream of #MakingMoreMoney.

How Does Network Marketing Make Money?

April 7, 2020 by Claude Fullinfaw Leave a Comment

How Does A Network Marketing Company Help You Make Money?

Imagine you are sitting at home having a chat with a friend. All of a sudden this pal of yours says “can you recommend me a good restaurant? I want to take Susan out for dinner this weekend.”

To his good luck you have a favorite Italian restaurant you love visiting every now and again. You give him a very good recommendation.

A few weeks later this friend bumps into you again. He thanks you for the great tip and says he just fell in love with your restaurant too. He also says he started to recommend the place to other people he knows
My question to you is “Are you getting paid for sending business over to this restaurant?” I doubt it.

What if you got paid every time someone buys on your recommendation? More importantly what if you get paid a small amount every time someone else who is in this network of users that you created starts to recommend that restaurant too?

This is the power of referral marketing. This is network marketing at its core. You have created a network of users that now a company needs to sends its products out to. Each time a parcel is shipped out, you get paid a small amount of money called commission to reward you for the network you created.

The bigger the network the larger the demand for products. Hence potentially you can get a larger check if people buy.

This is how you earn through network marketing.

The Power Of Extra Income

August 7, 2018 by Claude Fullinfaw Leave a Comment

Extra Income Has Its Benefits!

I never looked at extra income in this light. Read this story of how powerful a small amount of money can be to you.

Here is a story of two business associates/distributors in a network marketing company. One day Anne comes into the office and excitedly shares that she is going to earn a check that week from her business.

Henry the other distributor was surprised to see the excitement in Anne’s voice. After all he was in the company for a while and had grown accustomed to seeing new people get excited over their first few income checks. He thought surely Anne must be a new distributor for the company. Is this her first check he thought.

Don’t Just Go By Face Value

Anne approached Henry and asked him to guess the amount she was to receive. “Maybe 5000 pesos” said Henry. (This is about 100 USD).

Anne said “it was not quite so. However its close. It was just 4500 pesos“.

Henry was more intrigued. Why is she so excited. After all 4500 pesos is not a lot of money.

Then Anne shared why she was so excited. She said “my monthly income from my day job was only 15,000 pesos a month. After I have paid for my expenses such as rent, food, transportation, toiletries, internet and phone, I only just have 450 pesos left as savings. It taken me an entire month working over 160 hours to just get 450 pesos in savings”.

However …

By doing her part time business for a few hours a week she was able to increase her savings ten times. She said “If I just keep doing a bit more this income will double in the next few weeks. I could never do the same with my regular job“.

The Lesson Learned Here Is …

Anne has worked over 40 hours a week and after a month she could only have 450 pesos left towards her savings. However working her part time network marketing business for just 5 works a week she has been able to increase her savings ten times in just one month.

The question here is my friends …

If you are currently working a job and finding it hard to increase your savings and want a way to do so why not do something that Anne does. With some part time effort you too can bring in an extra 4500 pesos or $100 USD too.

>> This extra money can increase your spending ten times.

>> This is the power of extra income.

Most importantly is the fact you do this part time and you can increase your savings many times over within weeks not years. That’s the magic behind this story here. You save time.

If you are impressed with this post why not share it with others.

I love to connect with you.

Want To Learn About The Power Of Leverage

August 6, 2018 by Claude Fullinfaw Leave a Comment

It interesting how we learn something everyday that’s new.

A few years ago I learned a lesson on the power of leverage. I had no idea about the Law of Leverage.

It was in the summer of 2014 while attending a seminar in Brisbane I was introduced to the idea of working smarter and saving time while doing so.

How I Learned That I Could Save 36 Years Off My Working Life Span

A Mumpreneur from Canada was the main speaker at an event I attended and she was sharing how we can shave years of employment if only we knew the secret on how to.

This intrigued me. As I love working smart.

Disclaimer: Now what I am sharing may not suit you and if that’s the case its perfectly ok to disagree with me. However, if you are someone like me who would rather work hard for a few years and have the rest of your life free to enjoy then the next few paragraphs may be worth reading.

I am going to explain two scenarios. One will be working like you do right now and obviously the second one is working smart.

So lets look at Scenario One

Do You Want To Have Leverage Working For You?

Imagine you do work and its a 50 hour week.
Over a year that’s 2500 hours.

If you were to work 10 years that will be 25,000 hours that you would have put into your employment or business.

Now if you are 20 years old and you work until 60 years old then the hours worked would be 100,000 hours.

What you must realize here is that at the time of retirement everything you see around you is the direct or indirect result of all the work you contributed to your business, community and to your customers. All the memories you gathered, the trips away on holidays and the successes you have seen throughout your life are a result on how well you worked in those 40 years or 100,000 hours worked.

Something To Ponder About!

What we see here is the fact you traded your TIME for everything you wanted in life. In other words all your dreams that came through was a result of working those 100,000 hours put in.

So the question is what if we can save 30 or 35 years off a traditional 40 year working life plan. What if we can do all this in just 4 years. Would that interest you a bit if you can get your dreams within 4 years rather than working for 40 years.

So lets get to scenario two now…

Scenario Two – Working With Leverage

Here we will look at working your present job.
However, we will take on something parttime to add some extra income to our existing salary.

So imagine just working an extra 5 hours a week on a special project called Project X.

What if you did find just 4 people who like you wanted to earn a bit more. And those 4 found another four people. Eventually if that group of people reached 100 people that you partnered with. Now with time this number will surely increase but for now lets assume its just 100.

So if those 100 people were to just work 5 hours a week we will have effectively 500 hours working for you. All all this is in one week.

Over 52 weeks it will be 25,000 hours as compared to your 2,500 hours you would have worked all by yourself in one year. You have increased your work output 10 times by working smart.

But it gets even better…

Over the next 4 years this output would have grown to 100,000 hours of work. If you look at the example above it took us 40 years to achieve the same result.

You have literally saved 36 years of working behind a desk.

This phenomenon is called Leverage. This is the Law of Leverage.

So the question you need to ask yourself is …

Do you have leverage working for you right now for you in your working life?
Are you working all by yourself for your dreams?
Would you like to work smarter and harder instead of just harder?

If you feel you want to speed that process up and want to work with a team of exciting and dynamic people then message me and lets have a chat how you too can shave a few years off the time you need to get to those dreams of yours.

Looking forward to connecting with you soon.
