Chapter 1

Is This Really Possible? Really?

Do you mean I can make money while I am still studying at school, college or university?

It’s absolutely true… you don’t have to wait until you leave school before you start making money. Lots and lots of people before you have done it and been very successful… while continuing their studies. Have a look at some of the Frequently Asked Questions in the back of this book.

And this book is not about getting a job at the local grocery store or fast food outlet, or even on the local paper round. Those activities are jobs; and while a job does pay you money and gives you a measure of security, it seldom leads to freedom.

Rather, a job leads to a kind of enslavement.

Don’t believe me? Ask around. Ask all the adults you know. Ask them a simple series of questions.

Do you like your work?

Are you paid what you are worth?

Does your work allow you to reach your full potential?

I am sure that you will find that a great many adults are not satisfied with their work. Some actually hate what they do, but they can see no way out. Others won’t tell you because they see that they are achieving the things they want in life, if ever so slowly.

If so many people are so unhappy in their jobs, why are they doing them?

Often, they feel trapped because:

It is all they know how to do.

They don’t have enough education to take them to a level where their skills might really shine.

The friends and family tell them that they are lucky to have a job and they should just put up with it and do the best they can.

The feel trapped by all the bills they face every month: the mortgage; school fees; groceries; the car repayments; the credit card; and so on. And so they feel unable to make the break.

Fear stops them setting up their own business.

In fact, I have seen a JOB described as Just Over Broke.

If it’s so bad, why do people stay in their jobs?

Because there is a perceived security in doing so. You turn up for work; you do a week’s work; and someone, somewhere, pays you for that week’s work. If you do that often enough, it becomes a very secure part of your life.

The advantage you have is that you are still (probably) at school, college or university. So you are unlikely to be working full time. You may already be working part time to help provide some income; but to do that you are probably giving up some of your weekends and a few of your evenings. And when it comes to exam time, you may feel like you are not able to give your best to your studies or your job.

So what’s the answer?

Find a way to earn your own money through your own enterprise.

That’s what this book is about; helping you realize that there could very well be opportunities just waiting for you, opportunities that return a lot more wealth than just a wage. And this leads to a very important point:

Wealth is NOT always measured in terms of money. Often, the experiences you gained, whether you are successful or not, are worth more than any money you earn along the way.

By running your own business, your own little empire, you will get to have a good hard look at yourself.

What sort of enterprise will you run?

What sort of profits will you demand?

How much are you willing to learn?

How hard are you willing to work?

Are you brave enough to ask for help when you need it?

How will you deal with success?

How will you deal with failure?

How will you deal with the idea that fires across your sleepy brain at 1:30 in the morning?

There are thousands of questions that will come up. The answer to each is as individual as you. While some answers are better than others, there are no right or wrong answers, unless you get to the wrong side of the law or of decent morality.
