Move Ahead Faster, More Surely
You can start at the bottom in a large corporation today and rise to the top—if you’re lucky and if you’re willing to wait thirty to thirty-five years. By the time you reach the top you may be so weak and so worn out from the competition with other people that you can’t enjoy the results of your labors. Worse yet, you may work for years, giving all your energies and time to the company. Then your department may be reorganized, or merged with another, and you may be demoted, discharged, or laid off “until business picks up a little.”
You can move ahead ten times faster, and with much greater satisfaction, in your own business. Why spend thirty years waiting for the big promotion when you can earn as much, or more, in your own business within three years, or less? Hundreds of top executives say to me every year “If I worked as hard for myself as I do for this company I’d be a millionaire many times over. Yet, what do they pay me here? Peanuts!”
The older you get, the more Important It becomes that you move ahead fast. A business of your own has the ideal advantage of combining fast success with a disregard for age. Try It and seal
