Be a Market Maker.
So I came across an interesting article that spoke on the global garage sale.
And in it everyone fit one category based on behavior. Now that wasn’t what got me. What intrigued this entrepreneur was simply that some of us are in a class to lose. That’s right. Your class in this hierarchy may equate to failure or simply a lower status. Now I don’t mean you’re a nobody. What I’m saying is simply that the top is always better than the bottom.
The four types you might fit into are:
The Market Maker
The Fully employed
The Strugglers.
The Bitter bottom.
-The market maker sets the tone. They create the trends and are not only a step ahead but stand to profit the most. They stay ahead of the curve and dictate their terms. This is ideal. It is ultimately where we all aim to be if we want true freedom.
-The fully employed have control of their purse strings. For the most part they can semi- level the playing field and make sure they aren’t rooked. Aka- taken advantage of. They have enough cash flow not to be desperate and enough to beat out the competitors. It is for most an enviable position but in the grand scheme of things I’d say they are closer to paupers than even they realize. You see when you are doing well many people take their eye off the ball. And one calamity is enough to swoop in and cause a life change that they can’t recover from. Something like ninety percent (90%) of Americans are one (1) health-care crisis away from fiscal insolvency. Scary fact right? The sad thing is most people aren’t even aware of this fact. A sadder fact is that most people will succumb to these numbers soon.
Not sure this is where we belong my friends.
-The strugglers are the group of people who are even closer to losing then they will admit. These are the unemployed or underemployed of our great nation. They aren’t lazy or under educated or even lacking skills. They simply are so far back that their skills mean almost nothing. They barely make it check to check and are generally forced to over extend themselves to obtain even the simplest pleasures. They have to pay thirty to fifty percent higher interest just to get in the door for air conditioners, cars and so on. And we all know what 90 credit points can mean on a mortgage: 100,000 dollars over the life of that loan. Yes- one hundred thousand dollars. And that same statistic will apply to all of their purchases if they can make any beyond food and electricity.
-The bitter bottom are those who require the most assistance generally speaking and have the least time and or ability to contribute to costs, and cover their own expenses. For all intents and purposes of this article they can be labeled indigent. They require more help than any other dynamic and require help that they can’t afford, pay for or contribute towards via taxes. Now we aren’t knocking this group or the previous one. I’m merely illustrating the three groups that we all fall in to.
Now at some point we have to literally choose our direction. If you are simply content at your level you will either sustain at said level or sink to a lower one. we all need to rise to the next plateau and then surpass said plateau as well. Life is nothing more than simple challenges and tasks that we must move through and past. I’ve outlined the four basic groups. Now you must ascertain your group and then determine if that is suitable. If not let’s find a way to get you past that point. Even at the top we have to succeed. And we have to thrive. Life is not simply for surviving. It is for making it to the top and then giving back.
Get your mind in gear.
Decide your goal.
Then take the necessary steps to be more than you thought you could.
Seize your existence.
Exceed expectations.
