How many hours does the average employee work? Any guesses? Believe it or not, but it is just over 8 hours a day! That is at least according to the US consensus. Now, the people that I know are working 8-12 hour days on salary. We know that employers don’t like paying overtime, so hourly paid employees work less than those on salary. I experienced that when I was on salary as an employee.
When in there do you have time to go to the park with your kids, or watch their school play or athletic events? Will you ever get to see you children walk for the first time or say “Dadda?” When is there any time for improvement? When do you find time to relax, have fun, and enjoy the things that mean the most to you? Some might say they do all those things on the weekend. Ok, good for you. So you get two days, out of seven to have fun, spend time with your family, travel, improve yourself, attend events, and live your life. If you are currently doing this, you are settling! I will say it straight out. You are settling for what someone else has given you. They say I get five or more days a week and you get one or two, with a two week vacation, and you say DEAL!
I would personally tuck my tail in between my legs and say, “Ok, boss, I will be your slave!” That is really what you are saying!
There is much more to life than working. I believe in hard work, don’t get me wrong, but for myself and those I care about. Not for a boss. Let me introduce you to a 3 hour work day. That is what I do. I work 3 hours a day, Monday through Thursday. So what am I doing all day? Not working to make money. I make plenty of that. I am working on myself, my fun, my hobbies, my family, my religion, and it is my choice.
