There is one particular form of snobbery that could actually save your life and inspire others to save their life, too.

Let me explain…

I’m going to use two examples.

1.) Food.

I consider myself a food snob. You might be like, “I don’t wanna be one of those”.  Just maybe, yes, yes you do want to be a food snob without demeaning other people. Let me share why…

If you’re a food snob you’re gonna care about what you put into your body. You’re going to make informed decisions instead of just going along with whatever you’ve been programmed.  You’re not likely to be an obedient consumer that’s going to make drug private health insurance companies lots of money.  You’re not likely going to make very evil crooked corrupt people rich at the expense of yourself so they can have more while you have less.

So pay attention to what you eat.

Instead of the deep fried double wide have immune boosting food. Have your anti-inflammatory food. Have your plant based whole foods and your natural GMO free food.

Why?

Because you’re gonna FEEL better. You’re gonna BE better. You’re gonna LIVE better and you’re not gonna be a sucker for the drug and private health insurance companies anymore.

You’re not gonna be a sucker for people that make their living and their extreme riches at the sheer willful ignorance of their consumers.

I’m not going to be that person either.

I’m not any better than anybody else however my actions I believe are far better than the actions of most people.

You’re better than a deep-fried double wide greasy whatever.

You’re better than that behavior.

You’re not better than the people who engage in that behavior. You’re just better than that behavior and it’s worth it.

By the way when you become a food snob, an extra added benefit is that you get to elevate your taste buds. You actually get to enjoy food more not less. It’s a common misconception that people who eat healthier don’t enjoy their food as much. No, you get to enjoy food more not less.

2.) Money.

I’m a money snob, too.

Did you know that if you have more money you can give more?

Did you know that there’s going to be tens of thousands of people that are going to die this year because they don’t have frickin food and healthy drinking water?

Can you believe that crap?

Did you know that money could save their lives by getting them those things that they need?

Did you know that?

Did you know that there are certain kinds of income types that most people have no clue about because it’s not taught in school or in media?

There is ordinary earned income which you’re already familiar with because it’s the only one taught in school.  Ordinary earned income is job or self employed income that enslaves all of it’s participants to the dollar.

There is another type of income that is opposite of the ordinary earned income nonsense.

It’s called PASSIVE and RESIDUAL money and it’s not just different it’s flat out superior vs the inferior ordinary earned income.

Passive and residual income can release somebody entirely from being attached to money so that one could live free in real security and stability for their family without ripping themselves off everyday by working out of neediness for a paycheck.

Did you know that those income types exist?

I do.

I learned about it.

I became an absolute money snob when I learned about it.

I’m better than ordinary earned income.

YOU are better than ordinary earned income.

It’s “ordinary” because it’s common and you can’t de-couple your time from it or you lose your ability to pay bills and eat.  That’s so risky and unstable that all job titles should be changed to, “professional gambler”.

You are not better anyone else.

I’m not better than anyone else.

There is a nuance to be recognized in snobbery.  Being a people snob is never acceptable.  Being a food and money snob based on behavior with food and money can save your life and empower you to save other peoples lives.

Not all money is created equal.

Not all food is created equal.

Not all habits are created equal.

People are created equal.

People consciously decide to be conscious thinking people that taps into their free thinking critical faculties or people can make no decision at all which in effect you’ve decided to live your life by default and when you live your life by default, not thinking about the food you’re eating or the income type you’re making, the consequences are the results.

If you don’t critically think to make worthwhile nuances and discernment you live by default. When you live by default you’re constantly being pushed and tossed around like a rag doll by your circumstances and other outside forces you have no control over.  Become consciously aware of your behaviors so you can refine them. Becoming a food and money snob can allow you to correct those behaviors and find better ways.

Those are just a couple of examples.

I hope that expands how you think about snobbery and how there are different kinds of it.

One form of snobbery is useful while another form of snobbery just means you’re a jerk face to other people.

You can use the better kind of snobbery as a mechanism to save your life and inspire others to save theirs, too.

So be a food snob. Be a money snob. Go for the better foods, the better money types, know why you’re doing it and start becoming a more free and critical thinking human being.

Never become a people snob.

You’re better than those behaviors that hurt you and others around you.

Make the decision to draw a line in the sand and decide that life is worth it.

Life is worth being a food and money snob.

If you enjoyed this please share. It’s very contrarian thinking to mainstream ideas so share.

I also have my fire your boss dot xyz website and my tom birkenmeyer dot com website.

I have thousands of pieces of content all to do with health, healing, freedom, financial freedom, and how the real rich measures there wealth by their time not their money. But they connect the dots between being financially free and time freedom. They know the difference between different income types and that ordinary job money is inferior to passive and residual money. They consciously think about what they put into their mouths and what they put into their brain. They consciously think about how they deal with stress and how they enhance their personal lives. They don’t trash their relationships for the sake of becoming successful because that’s not success.  Success is Yes and Yes.  Poor is either or.

Share this and become a snob with money and food but never a snob with people.

If I need to cry I cry.

If I have a bad day I show it to whoever is there with a positive aim to heal.

If I do something dumb it’s out in the open where I want it to be.

When I score a victory through the ashes of something that started poorly it will be on display so no one can have permission in my example to be a quitter.

Ya know what doesn’t inspire anyone to do anything?

Playing small.

Afraid to dream.

Afraid to make mistakes.

Quitting.

Excuses.

Ego tripping.

Everyone already knows how to act like a loser they don’t need you or I showing them.

Let’s show people how to be human, how to THINK BIG, DREAM BIG, cry, make mistakes, learn, grow, don’t keep it from people…

I hope my sharing all this stuff inspires you to be unafraid to be unreserved about all of who you are, too, and to dream bigger than you have before and just be unreserved completely about the process of making your beautiful dreams a beautiful reality.

Put it all on display the good bad and ugly it inspires people.

Too many people choose happiness or money.

Choose BOTH.

YES AND YES is rich.

One or the other is Poor.

Feel free to share.

I still don’t have it 🙂

My doctor didn’t tell me about the healing power of Simply eating more plants and Less meat and Dairy.

Maybe he was on the secret payroll of Private health insurance and drug companies to play dumb with the quality of my life?

My joints and muscles feels so good that I literally spring out of bed each morning even if I’m feeling emotionally sad I can physically bounce around at any time with great energy Even first thing in the morning when everyone else is sore and achy and popping pills.

The same organic plant-based products I use I sell also.

The same ones that help me grow more youthful as I get older in years.

I had my dad and mom use the same stuff.

My dad lived another 9 plus years because of it according to his doctor.

My mom I still have hopefully for many more years.

But Tom I love my job when you love what you do you are free!”

Love of hard work and dedication is a wonderfully positive moral character trait and is different than a job which is a preconceived notion commonly confused with work.

A JOB gives you an illusion of safety. Hard work is the actions that you partake in to continue your physical, emotional, spiritual and mental development. A JOB is external, hard work is an internal character trait.

For my Curious friends… The only income that creates freedom of time is passive and residual. So Google research it if you’re interested in being a free human being. I have lots of blog posts and videos about it if you’d like I’m happy to share what I’ve taught on the topic matter.

But, some people are!

Most people feel just fine living out the status quo designed for them by somebody else and the only time they tend to get agitated is when someone points it out.

I might be wrong for pointing it out! Who knows. I certainly like pointing it out though 🙂

I think a lot of us tend to take things way too seriously when it’s not supposed to be and we take things way too lightly when we are supposed to be taking things more seriously.

Just maybe the best thing to ask for is to learn when to take life seriously and when not to.

I’ve been guilty of this just like anyone else. Sometimes I’m guilty and Incredibly dumb at the same time lol

What I’m getting out of life so far is to love, be loved, make lots of money openly and proudly, express yourself without reservations, freedom without the expense of someone else’s freedom, reciprocal relationships whenever possible, learn to become closer to each others Souls than our physical bodies, get away from ordinary earned income, make lots of residual and passive income, and make lots of money brazenly in the face of anyone who dare hold a negative energy towards money so stupidly so.

Yes all of these things is what I’m getting out of a meaningful life so far. I can’t wait to see what else I learned in my next 40 years or however much longer I’m here for.

I have an extremely difficult time connecting with people.

My people skills are all but nonexistent.

I have no idea what to say to people in Social settings and I don’t like how that feels.

I don’t wear my lack of people skills with a badge of honor.

Still, I learned how to build a business from scratch in my precious minutes of spare time and haven’t needed a job since February of 2010.

There are always going to be people who want to get healthy, make better money, have more control of their time, be with their family instead of pictures of their family, become financially free, there is always going to be a need for more people to start their own personal businesses.

My people skills are so poor that MAYBE only one person at a time will be inspired to contact me about how they can get involved.

Thankfully I was able to do this only one person at a time.

I think that’s why this is so good because it’s one person at a time even in short increments at a time.

When I started I only had about 20 minutes a day that typically had to be broken up into 5 or 10 minute increments at a time.

A registered nurse recently did it in only 2 minutes at a time on her potty break at her job.

I’m in the midst of writing a new course I’m going to call the 5 minute potty break trainer to help people who want some help at retaking control of their time.

Shy and socially awkward people are typically the ones who do really well here which surprised me because I thought only the outgoing and socially advanced people could do this.

If you want to get involved feel free to private message me.

If you have no debt whatsoever, none, are you free?

No you’re not.

You have these bills that keep showing up every month.

Therefor you have Residual bills.

If you don’t have residual money to cover those residual bills you’re not free.

What if you stopped showing up at your job?

That turns off your income obviously because you stopped showing up.

So the income is going to turn off but you still have these bills that keep showing up every month and you have no debt.

Your time is still coupled to your income which means you don’t have time freedom.

So, that’s not to take away from being debt free if you are debt free.

No consumer debt, you own your house outright no mortgage, no car payments, no credit card debt and so on and so forth that’s awesome! Not to take away from that at all!

If you want to be a free human being where you’ve got your time de-coupled from your income you need residual and passive income.

You have residual bills so you might as well have residual income to de-couple how you spend your time from your income and then at last you’re a free human being unshackled from the chains that bound you to the dollar.

You could actually be in debt.. Let’s say you’re a million dollars in debt (extreme example but to make a point) but you have an annual residual income of two million dollars.

You’re a free human being!

Versus somebody who has no debt and has no residual income but they have residual bills.

The person with a million dollars of debt with two million dollars residual income is actually way more free than the person with no debt and no residual income.

I hope that makes sense.

If you have any questions please feel free to comment below, private message me if that’s more comfortable I don’t care I’m open and honest.

If you are debt free celebrate it but don’t confuse it for financial freedom or being free because most debt free people are still chained and shackled to the dollar or they can’t pay their bills and eat.

I’m offering a point of view that is way outside the box of what just about anybody is thinking about.

If you love the concept of being a free human being, free with your time, time freedom to be able to do what you want, it doesn’t matter if you love your job and you live a life style that doesn’t interfere with your job.

If you can’t de-couple your time from your income you’re not a free human being with how you’re going to spend your time.

The only thing that can give that to you is residual passive income and it’s something that can be built up in anybodys spare time.

One of the hallmarks of residual money is it can be built up even if you’ve just got twenty minutes a day like my start was when I started at only twenty minutes a day. It’s all I had time for in the beginning.

I know people who’ve done it on the potty!

I’m actually writing a five minute potty break trainer.

That’s what I’m going to call it.

I’m teaching people how to build residual money in 5 minute increments.

I got inspired by somebody who did it in two minute increments. But that’s a bit extreme.

So it’s possible even in two minutes at a time but I’m going to do at least five minutes at a time.

Everybody gets at least a five minute potty break at work so.

I’m really looking forward to having that published and that will be out soon.

Feel free to ask me about that as well if you wanna be on a list of people that I make aware of as soon as it gets published.

It’s going to be a great training.

Browse around my website.

I have Thousands of videos and blog posts about anything to do with health, wealth, freedom, natural healing and organics and all those kinds of things.

Hope you enjoyed this post.

Bye for now.

I FEEL emotional pain.

I feel happiness and sadness in the full scope of that spectrum of emotions.

I feel DEEPLY but WITHOUT stressing most of the time if not all the time.

There is a worth while discernment to be made between emotional sadness that we respond to with stress and emotional sadness that we respond to without stress.

I think it’s HEALTHY to have a full scope of emotions that you FEEL deeply.

The worthwhile journey is to learn to feel all emotions stress free including the painful emotions.

Life is like an orchestra.

I love this analogy.

There are happy notes and sad notes. It’s a mix. If you just hear happy notes all the time it would get annoying. If you just hear sad notes all the time it would get annoying. If you get a good mix of happy, sad, and everything in between then it’s a more rich experience.

You can get that full spectrum of emotions without stressing about it just like an orchestra can play a full concert and it doesn’t have to be a complete jumbled stress mess that destroys itself.

The wide spectrum enhances the experience.

You can walk out of the concert with a feeling of WOW… What did I just experience??? That’s Living! And you didn’t stress out about ANY of those wonderful ranges of emotions did you?

What if you approached lifes full scope of emotions that way?

What happens when you feel good?

It’s easy to respond good when you’re feeling good.

What about when you’re emotionally hurting?

Sometimes it’s easy to stress out about it and that induces the aging process. It makes you feel older over time. You’re going to feel older and look older. When you learn to condition your brain to feel without stress… when I’m emotionally in pain I can stress about it or I can just feel it and then bring myself back as it happens because life is kind of like a roller coaster that way.

Peaks and valleys.

We can have those peaks and valleys without stress, just FEEL and LIVE.

I think those peaks and valleys are actually very good for us when we mature ourselves emotionally to the point where we don’t have to stress about it. We can just feel it and we can be open with each other about it. We can talk about it and be vulnerable because there is a lot of power in that. It’s gonna go a long way towards helping you look and feel younger.

I’m going to go very briefly over the other major variables that contribute toward looking and feeling younger as we get older.

Sleep!

Regular deep sleep because that’s when the brain releases growth hormone and heals the body from the days stressors and other things you need daily and nightly healing from.

Eat lots of plants!

Whenever somebody compliments my skin, or how young I look, it’s an automatic gut response at this point. I simply smile and say, “Thanks! I eat a LOT of plants”. When they learn I’m in my 40s they are practically in shock. A lot of people guess I’m only 24. I don’t know why that weird number is so common to guess but it certainly makes me happy to tell them I eat a lot of plants and THANK YOU. They always giggle when I say that but it gets them thinking, too.

Regular physical activity!

Get in regular exercise that’s going to challenge you without stressing you.

I’m going to add the same nuance to exercise that I added to emotional pain.

Yoga is great for teaching people to find the calmness within the storm. It goes in alignment what I was talking about in the beginning of this post. You can feel emotional pain without stressing about it and just let it be part of enhancing your life in this adventure that you have in this physical world. With exercise it’s the same thing. You find your point where you’re being challenged so that you get more fit and more healthy but you find the calness in that storm when you’re doing a move, holding a pose, or whatever and its uncomfortable. Find that calmness in that storm man!

That’s certainly gonna go a long way towards looking and feeling younger as you get older.

I’m spring loaded!

All my joints feel like they did when I was twelve!

I’m on no medications.

I was suppose to have arthritis when I was 26. Today, in my 40s, not only do I NOT have arthritis, I jump out of bed every morning! Not because I’m happy. Sometimes I am sometimes I’m not. Just as a mechanical function I can spring into action out of a seated position and my joints feel like they did when I was twelve, literally. No exaggeration.

That’s pretty cool!

No medication, I eat a lot of plants, I get regular deep sleep, I get regular challenging exercise, and I feel the full spectrum of emotions without stressing when I’m sad.

When you are able to push yourself hard in your workouts and learn to find that calmness in the storm it translates into every day functional life.

When things in life get stressful or emotionally painful you learn to find the calmness within the storm. When you can find that calmness in the storm you’re just gonna be more productive. You’re gonna respond better to lifes challenges and emotional pain.

Sometimes we tend to do as humans, we take a disastrous situation and we create another disaster from the disaster because we don’t find the calmness in the storm. Instead we stress out about it and that tends to multiply the problem where we take an already messy situation and make it messier. Instead of that let’s respond with finding calmness in the storm. We can respond better.

Pretty cool stuff !

I hope you enjoy this post.

Please share this if you know some people that need to hear this.

We all need to hear things like this.

It would be a happier world if ideas like these were more commonly being floated around for people to absorb.

I need to hear stuff like this too so I study great ideas regularly.

How else do you think I’m able to keep coming up with all these posts? =)

I’m gonna share some things that I’ve been doing for a really long time now and if you’re physically missing that spring in your step because of sore joints and muscles commonly associated with aging maybe I’ll share something that can help you out or someone you know that you can share this with.

It’s not really an emotional spring I’m talking about.

I have a mix of happiness and sadness that I live with I deeply feel both sides of that emotional spectrum.

The spring in my step I’m talking about is the feeling of every time I step down, I sit down, I get up out of a seated position, or a squat, or the fact I can squat at all, it’s a physical spring that connects to an emotional feeling of feeling really well and healthy.

I’m on zero medications.

I have no discomfort whatsoever and so every morning when I wake up literally I’d just kind of bounce out of bed.

It’s not like an oh I’m so happy all the time kind of bounce or spring.

It’s just my health and my joints feel so good.

14 years ago I was suppose to have arthritis and 14 years later not only do I not have arthritis but I’m in my 40s now and I have the spring in my step that I’ve been rambling on about!

Here’s what I’m doing that I believe is responsible for my not aging the way that most people age and the fact I was I had a predisposition to where I should have had arthritis 14 years ago and I still don’t have it.

My Dr. who told me this did not mention anything about nutrition let alone certain kinds of nutrition that do different things to the human body.

He didn’t tell me about the effect of deep sleep or deep sleep at all. We didn’t have that conversation.

He didn’t tell me about minimizing stress or eliminating stress. We never had that conversation let alone talking about it.

It makes me wonder if my Dr. was on the secret payroll of private health insurance companies and PhRMA companies who make their money managing everything and curing nothing.

So my diet I changed to a plant based whole food diet.

I get good sound sleep every night.

I have things I could be stressing about like anyone else but I choose not to have that stress response anyone. It’s like a survival tactic. Literally 90 percent of diseases generally comes from stress. I’ve heard many experts talk about it and go on to say that it’s even more important than what we eat.

There are plenty of people I know that eat squeaky clean but they’re stressed out all the time from a bad spouse, a bad job, they’re pulling their hair out from their heads and suddenly they get cancer and can’t figure out why.

It’s stress man ya gotta eliminate stress and get good deep sleep every night and then you also have to eat a plant based whole food diet that works for you.

Then you don’t have to age the way that most people do.

Tony Horton said aging is for people who don’t know any better.

I think he’s right by objective measurements that show he is right.

It’s really about stacking the deck in your favor because we’ll never have absolute 100% control.

Anybody that writes me or comments in this thread about how you could still get sick even if you do everything right, well, then you didn’t real this post all the way through because I’m saying it right now about stacking the odds significantly in your favor because we’ll never have complete control but we do control how we respond to situations to make them less stressful, or no stress, no matter how bad the situation was and we have decisions over what we put into our mouth and things like that.

If sleep is a problem that could be tricky but you can certainly go down certain paths to figuring that out so that you can eventually get a really good night sleep if you suffer from something that gets in the way of that.

I hope that helps you.

My website I’ve furnished with tons of this stuff.

Thousands of pieces of content all to do with health, healing, wealth, chronic disease, chronic debt etc..

tom birkenmeyer dot com

Last but not least for a very long time now I drink a very dense superfood whole food plant based shake.

I drink it every day for many years at least one meal per day.

Truth be told I do two most days because I really love the way it tastes it’s quite delicious

It has gone a long way in supporting me towards living free of any aches, pains, or discomforts whatsoever.

Being in my 40s now I was suppose to have arthritis 14 years ago and it never happened.

If I have anything to do with it, it never will happen so there you have it.

Feel free to share this. Like it. comment. If you’ve got some other ideas too that can add to this I’d love to learn from you too about how NOT to age the way most people age.

People think it’s normal to age with aches and pains.

It’s not normal. It’s common.

So if you know more please share and expand all of our minds =)

Share this post because I’m sure you know some people that would get some value from what I just shared with you.

Quitting is common when the going gets tough.

When we were kids we have these big dreams that we allow others to beat out of us as we grow into adults.

Sometimes we have to put a filter in our brain and consciously choose what we’re gonna accept and what we’re gonna reject.

A lot of us have moments in our lives when we are thinking really big and then tough things happen, because that’s what happens when you think really big, and we shrink backwards into thinking small again.

That’s what happens when you think big! You get bigger challenges things become really tough.

If you think back to think small the challenges might become smaller and maybe easier to accomplish small goals.

Maybe we go back to thinking smaller and dreaming smaller as a way to make it easier to live with ourselves for being a quitter, or in some cases, a non starter.

Why not make your dream so important to you that you’re eager to go through the tougher challenges to make it happen because your heart would break not to.

I think the whole purpose of those tougher challenges that seem to happen when we dream and think bigger is to force you to have to get the skills, the emotional maturity, and spiritual growth you need to be able to get what you want and fulfill that promise you made to yourself and maybe to other people.

That kind of dreaming you did when you were a child gets a common response when you grow into an adult, “it’s so hard so maybe if I just shrink back a little bit and it doesn’t have to be this great or that big and the thinking can be a little bit smaller I can scale back here and there so that should be easier and then maybe I can do it when my dream is small enough.”

Maybe instead of chipping away at your self esteem in the long run it’s much easier to go through the deal of figuring stuff out.

Instead of shrinking your dreams so you don’t have to grow yourself you could grow your-self so you don’t have to shrink your dreams.

You don’t have to become anything to be nothing.

It’s time to go through the deal of figuring out how to make your big dreams a reality.

The only thing more beautiful than a beautiful dream is a beautiful reality.

If you dig this kind of stuff my website is Tom Birkenmeyer Dot Com. I’m full of it! Ideas and philosophies!!

Feel free to share this. Maybe you know somebody who just needs to hear something like this

When the going get tough you have two options. Shrink or Grow.

Shrinking means you don’t have to become anything more than you already are. No growth. No expansion of your brain. No creative thought. It keeps you lazy. It’s emotionally immature. It’s poor. A temporary illusion of “easy” because over time the real damage comes when you realize you’ve been chipping away at yourself all this time. When you chose to shrink instead of grow you’re under the illusion of making it easier to live with yourself for being a quitter.

When you chose to GROW you have to unleash the power of your human spirit to get creative, learn new things, grow up emotionally, battle laziness, staves off dementia such as alzheimer’s, it’s rich. Instead of making lazy statements you begin to ask rich questions such as asking what books you might need to read, what webinars and seminars to attend, what teachers to teach you, maybe what classes to take, what mistakes can teach you, what kind of a student and action taker you wanna be, the kind of person you want to become.

Now these challenges are just things to figure out instead of road blocks to keep you back.

That’s much better than shrinking backwards don’t you agree?

I think so.

It’s even easier I’d say than subscribing to the illusion that shrinking is easier because you pay for it with the quality of your life.

Reminds me of a great philosophy…

Go for a worth while life not an easy one.

As it turns out the worth while life is easier than the delusional “easy” life.

Don’t you think?

This is one of those posts that irritates some while Inspiring others.

Depending on a job for income to pay bills and eat should be avoided with everything in your power.

Question: I agree but where do I get the money to pay the bills or eat?

Me: Research passive and residual money. It’s the only income type that de couple’s time from money. At first I found it very difficult but as I went through the process in my precious minutes of spare time (with a hunger for LEARNING) it got easier and it gave me time freedom. I have thousands of videos and blog posts about it on my www.tombirkenmeyer.com website.

Question: I dunno. I’ve done it your way. Neither worked for me.

Me: Find your way not my way or anyone else’s way. And when you find your way promise yourself you’ll try and fail over and over again until you figure it out. The word “until” is a huge part of figuring stuff out and solving problems. A deadline for quitting is not part of the equation in figuring stuff out and solving problems. The short cut is to find a teacher who has been there, done that, figured it out, and is willing to show you, and then you be the best student that you can be so you can in turn teach someone else as you get results, too.

Question: I don’t know what “my way” is. Not sure how to find it either. I’ll not “quit”. But I won’t beat my head on the brick wall for something that is not for me.

Me: Don’t use your head against a brick wall. The wall will win! LOL.. Find the right tool, the right teacher, the right training, and utilize those things against the brick wall or anything else. There is nothing in your way. Your obstacles are there to force you to get the skills you need so you can get what you want.

Question: A job is a reliable, safe, secure, intelligent source of income.

Me: When an income is owned by someone else, can be taken away at any time for any reason, it requires its participants to trade their time for it like a hamster treading it’s wheel, that income is of the highest risk possible and that person should change whatever their job title is to PROFESSIONAL GAMBLER. The “reliable safe secure income” is the grand illusion. It’s the unforgivable lie that keeps people obedient to the most sinister pyramid scam ever devised against people. Believing job income is safe, reliable, secure or intelligent is just silly. Don’t fall for that scam. It’s sold to you as safe and secure on purpose to keep you obedient to the leadership of the largest financial institutions in the world who need you so they can have more while you have less.

Question: Some jobs HAVE to be done, Tom. Humans need care, roads need repair, teeth need cleaning and repairing, heads need psychologists to shrink them. I can go on.

Me: I’m not anti job. I’m anti dependency. Those jobs can all be done by people that like their jobs, and IF they wish, they can build something that’s passive on the side that covers them financially so they are no longer needy and co-dependent on some company to take care of them. You’re making the talking points of the very people who thrive by exploiting you. Love your job and always go above and beyond with a sense of pride for the work you do. We have to recognize the discernment between a needy co-dependency in the income from a job vs. zero needy co-dependency in the income from a job. When a job becomes optional that’s independence. When a job is out of neediness to pay bills and eat then it’s co-dependency and modern day Obedient Slavery.

Question: I just can’t make a living like you do. That’s YOUR talent, not mine.

Me: It’s not about me and this is not my talent. I was hungry to learn. You’re capable of learning, too. The difference between learning a job vs. learning passive and residual money is if you rely on job income to pay bills and eat you’re time is coupled to your income. If you learn passive and residual income you de-couple your time from your income so you can spend your time how you wish and be where you want to be when you need to be. You’ve learned new skills in the past. You can learn this one, too. Passive and residual income is 100% adaptable to the individual. At a job you have to be adaptable to the job. It’s common to get this backwards and the result is a lot of people don’t believe they can do passive and residual income. There is nothing further from the truth.

Question: I’d love to but I’m broke, debt, I have no time, I have no skill, I have kids, my spouse doesn’t support me, I have too much going on, don’t wanna lose my disability, I have a rash on my butt, mercury is in retrograde etc…

Me: There is someone out there who had it worse than you who figured out residual money while starting at a place in their lives even worse than yours. Replace your rationale for why you can’t with HUNGER for learning how you CAN or you’re screwed and that’s an inside job, ya know, the same home as the solution. Let’s be problem solvers instead of excuse makers.

Question: I poured time, and money into these projects, over lots of years. And I’ve never seen a dime in residuals. So I have a job. And a boss. I wasted thousands of dollars over the course of 30 years, trying this one and that one. Literally, never earned a dime. I have yet to see a program that you can start with no money, or continue without buying products and paying fees.

Me: I hear you that’s part of my story, too. After I tried and failed I tried and failed again, and again, until I figured it out. My big breakthrough and shortcut came when I decided upon 2 things. 1.) I decided to find some teachers who had been there, done that, and willing to show me how. 2.) I returned to the wisdom we all had when we were babies when it came to quitting. When we were babies we didn’t give ourselves a deadline to learn to walk or quit and spend the rest of our lives crawling. We were EAGER, ANXIOUS, HUNGRY to continuously FALL over and over again UNTIL we figured it out. We have to dump the Bad philosophies we learned as adults and replace them with good philosophies. Throwing money at a problem doesn’t solve it, it makes it worse and more costly. Learning new relevant skills solves problems. Putting more time in also doesn’t solve any problems it just costs you more time. If you LEARN how to build residual money part time you win. If you can’t build residual money part time then you also can’t build it full time so the solution is to build your SKILL set in residual money.

Question: I don’t understand why you think it is that you don’t have a job. You spend time doing what you do.

Me: My incomes doens’t require any personal involvement from me. I can afford to work for free, spend my time for free, so I do. But I was not able to do that till I went through that process of de-coupling how I spend my time from my income. In my personal opinion a reasonable income does not come from a source that can take it away at any time for any reason and its recipient can only keep receiving it if they continuously show up on their human hamster wheel to get it. Residual and passive money is the only income type that de-couples time from money and it’s available to anyone no matter how good bad or ugly their circumstances.

Question: You seem judgemental. Not everyone is to walk your path. Everyone has their own purpose.

Me: I don’t want a captive audience I like free thinkers including free to think differently than me. A discrepancy I observe is when someone believes the earth is flat and they believe it’s open for debate. No, its not open. Its settled. The earth is a globe shape. In this case… When someone believes they are wild and free all the while they depend on their job to pay bills then they are just as objectively wrong as the person who believes the earth is flat. They are not wild and free they are chained and shackled to the dollar or they can’t eat. The solution is passive and residual money because it’s the only income type that de-couples time from money and that works for ANY and EVERY purpose and for ANY and EVERY individual. My main point I blog about more than anything is de-coupling ones time from ones money. That way one is free to spend their time however they want.

Question: I respect hard work whether it’s self employed or a job.

Me: Yes I do too! I’m not anti job and I’m definitely not anti work. I’m a workaholic myself. My post is about the dependency people put into income from a job to pay their bills and eat. It’s the worst idea ever and it’s lived by lots of very good people many of whom I love and care about. My post was not attacking the quality of anyone’s character or work ethics. My post was attacking a very stupid idea that very good people subscribe to on a very popular basis

My friend Keia Lavine worded it better than I ever could have so I’ll quote her: “Working hard… is a moral character issue and is different than a job which is a preconceived notion that is confused with work.

A JOB is fashioned slavery that’s gives you an illusion of safety. Hard work is the actions that you partake in to continue your physical, emotional, spiritual and mental development. A JOB is external, hard work is an internal character trait”

I’m not an Expert in money. I have a basic understanding of it, and that is why I would NEVER get a job again.

Lots of people think they have a basic understanding of money all the while they need their job or they can’t pay bills and eat.

Their neediness in their job to pay bills and eat shows they are chained and shackled to their income.

49 out of every 50 people unfortunately have been sold terrible unforgivable lies about money and how to pay their living expenses.

Not everyone is ready to learn how money really works.

If a person believes their job is an intelligent safe secure way to make money and not open to the possibility they are dead wrong then they are not ready and will continue their obedience training.

I did my obedience training, unknowing to me, but when I learned new information I changed course IMMEDIATELY.

Some people keep the status quo with new facts while others can’t help but to EVOLVE as they get new facts.

I’m letting you know I come from the world of Obedience so you know that I’m not demonizing you or pointing any fingers if you’ve fallen for this LIE that you’re job income is safe, secure, or even an intelligent way to pay your bills and eat.

I’m not even anti job! Jobs are awesome WHEN THEY ARE OPTIONAL!

If your job is not optional or you starve then you are nothing but at turd in the herd in the eyes of the leadership of the largest financial institutions in the world who need your obedience to perpetually exploit you for their gain at your expense.

In my personal eyes you’re not a turd in the herd. You’re doing the best with what you know. Using job income to pay bills and eat is for people who don’t know any better.

Be hungry to LEARN and TRASH this idea that you know anything about money so that you can become open to LEARN about money and FINALLY go through a worth while process of de-coupling your time from your income.

In the end that’s what its about!

If you go through that process of decoupling your time from your income then you are at last a FREE human being able to spend your time however you want. You’ll be able to be where your heart BLEEDS to be when you need to be.

Without that kind of freedom to spend your time how you wish then you are wasting that DASH between your birth date and death date.

You only get one dash.

Don’t waste it on being a coupled to your income.

Money is NOT that important that you’d tie your god blessed time to it!

De couple your time from your money!

Learn passive and residual income and go through that deal of LEARNING and doing with an absolute resolve that you will NEVER give up UNTIL you’ve solved that problem.

If you give yourself a deadline to quit you’re ripping yourself off.

There is no deadline.

Learn the word, “Until”.

“UNTIL” is a powerful world.

You’ll do it UNTIL!!!

When you were a baby you didn’t give yourself a deadline to learn to walk or quit and spend the rest of your life crawling.

You had more wisdom in that regard when you were a baby than you do now as a grown adult!!!!

Feel free to share this message it’s important and needs to be received more than the lies we’ve been fed all our lives.

Good evening all! How are you??

Today I’ve been bitten by the Video Bug for the first time since my dad passed away over a month ago now.

I made 4 videos today =)

1.) 9 is Fine
2.) My Superhero Dad and Guns
3.) How to use Credit Cards to scam THEM with their Permission and in a way that you don’t have to use your own money
4.) Capitalism and Socialism & Checks and Balances

Lots more coming!!! I love making videos about Health and Wealth topics and for people who love to eat that stuff up because having both health and wealth, yes and yes, is cool. Picking one or the other is lame.

Yes and Yes! Not yes and no.

Your dash between your birth and death date is your one life you get so I don’t see the point in half-throttling it on choosing either or. YES AND YES =) Everything in the way of YES AND YES is just stuff to figure out. When the going gets tough the tough get going. Too many people quit when the going gets tough and deflect to make it easier to live with themselves for being a non starter or a quitter or both. Eff that self sabotaging non-sense =)

Since my dads passing I’ve been unreserved about my vulnerability. It’s not even a thing anymore for me to keep my crying to myself. If I need to cry I cry. If I have a bad day I show it to whoever is there with the aim of positively healing. If I do something dumb it’s out in the open where I want it to be. When I score a victory through the ashes of something that started poorly it will be on display so no one can have permission in my example to be a quitter.

I hope my sharing all this stuff inspires you to be unafraid to be unreserved about all of who you are, too, and to dream bigger than you have before and just be unreserved completely about the process of making your beautiful dreams a beautiful reality. Put it all on display the good bad and ugly it inspires people.

Ya know what doesn’t inspire anyone to do anything? Playing small. Afraid to dream. Afraid to make mistakes. Quitting. Excuses. Ego tripping. Everyone already knows how to act like a loser they don’t need you or I showing them. Let’s show people how to be human, how to THINK BIG, DREAM BIG, cry, make mistakes, learn, grow, don’t keep it from people…

Thanks for listening.

Hear me out I’ll explain..

Credit is Leverage.

Cash is debt and DESIGNED on purpose to lose money each year through inflation.

Using cash and building savings accounts reduces your buying power and transfers money in lil bits and pieces at a time to the most financially literate people that make up our economy without you knowing it.

Today most credit card issuers charge zero fees (unless you’re late on a payment) and will pay you between 1% and 5% on ALL credit purchases which means you get to leverage money for free and get paid a little extra for it.

The only discrepancy is a psychological one for people who use a credit card to spend more than they would if they were using cash and then go on to blame the credit card instead of looking inside themselves for the source of the real problem which is also the location of the real solution to that real problem.

For those of us willing to solve that internal problem then the credit card is your best monetary friend because it’s 100% leverage that is free to use and you get paid a lil extra for using it.

Credit also makes it easier to get ahead AND DE-couple how you spend your time from your income because credit is leverage.

Without leverage you cannot get ahead or DE-couple your time from your income because cash is debt and made by DESIGN on purpose to lose buying power each and every year through inflation and higher taxes.

There is a saying that the Establishment of Big Money does not want you to know, and that is, “SAVERS ARE LOSERS”. Translation = We at the heads of the largest financial institutions of the world don’t want you to know that savers are losers. We want you to buy our lie and illusion we are selling you that saving is good! We want you to use cash and save anything you can so that we can take from you financially illiterate peasants through inflation, fractional reserve, and higher taxes without your knowledge.

In my opinion having a savings account for some cushion is wonderful. I have a savings account I use just for cushion. But having a savings account as a wealth building strategy is completely obedient to the heads of the worlds largest financial institutions who are stealing from you, legally, and don’t want you to know about it.

What about a CD account? CD stands for Certification of DEPRECIATION. You were told it stands for Certificate of Deposit which is a euphemism to get you to put you’re money into them so they can take from you in lil bits and pieces at a time just like your savings account.

What about the interest you earn on savings accounts and CDs? You lose twice on those interest “earnings”. 1.) The interest rate is less than inflation and 2.) you pay ordinary earned income tax on Savings and CDs which is the highest tax a person pays right along with their financially dumb job. You’re double whammied with your savings and CD accounts all the while you were lied to and told it was an asset that you personally would financially benefit from. In reality it keeps your time coupled to your income so you can never get away from it and it makes it easy for highly corrupt people at the top of that racquet to get richer at your expense.

I have a lengthy video that goes into more detail about how to get out of this pyramid scam racquet. If you’d like to see it let me know ill post it in reply to your comment in this thread. Or you can private message me for it I don’t care either way.

Moral of this blog post is knowledge is NOT power. Knowledge is potential. You’ve learned something valuable that you can sit on or do something about. Doing something about it with knowledge is power. Knowledge without action is for educated derelicts. Knowledge alone is not powerful it’s just intellectual masturbation and all the educated derelicts are only intellectually masturbating while the Action Takers are getting Results.

5 minutes here..
and 10 minutes there…

Even during 5 minute bathroom breaks at work sitting on the toilet it didn’t matter a girl in my company had no free time and she made the decision she was not going to let her time be manipulated anymore.

Me personally, I had 20 minutes a day sometimes broken up into five and ten minute blocks.

I wasn’t going to let that stop me either.

Lack of free time might be your present but does not have to be your future.

You have a finite Dash between your birth date and death date.

You don’t get multiple dashes just the one, the one you’re LIVING in right now, one shot at making your finite time here on Earth count for real.

Love your job hate your job it’s irrelevant.

LEARN how to decouple your time from your income so you can be a free human being.

Your one dash between your birth and death date is worth it.

I did it in 5 or 10 minutes blocks at a time you can do it too.

Feel free to ask me how I did it.

I’m not going to sell you sht you don’t want or need.

This story has inspired me to create a whole new financial freedom training that can be done in 5 minute increments and from a smartphone for when you only have 5 minute bathroom breaks and only a smartphone.

Mechanically there will be nothing holding you back.  Not lack of time, not lack of a computer, just bad thinking will be the only thing left to hold you back but we can solve that, too.

I will have this training completed soon for your devouring =)

You do your daily affirmations and pray for laws of abundance to be working for you but you still have too much month at the end of the money and no free time to yourself.

I want to share something friends shared with me long ago.

A friend said, “replace expectations with gratitude and all feelings of fear and anxiousness go away”.

Another friend told me, “faith without consistent relevant ACTION is dead faith”.

And then the big one for me was when one of my mentors taught me to DECOUPLE YOUR TIME FROM YOUR INCOME OR YOU’LL NEVER BE PROSPEROUS AND FREE. He taught me the only way to decouple time from money is to work to build passive and residual income.

That was the biggest game changer for me because I was never afraid of hard work.

I was putting my hard work into places that was not bringing me meaningful long lasting prosperity.

When I put my hard work toward residual and passive income my time began to decouple itself from my income.

It took me only two and a half years of going through that decoupling process until at last my time was 100% completely decoupled from my income.

Long lasting result of prosperity finally.

Love your job hate your job it does not matter.

The goal is to decouple your time from your income so you’re free to do what you want with your time.

Keep your job, leave your job, give to charity, start your own charity, spend more time with your family, take a family vacation.

No longer living underneath the thumb of others who can tell you what to do.

No more worry about how bills will be paid for.

You create your own life experiences without the permission of a gatekeeper.

Needing a job or some company to take care of you is not cool.

What is cool is not being needy and codependent on some company to take care of you so you can keep it or leave it you’re free.

You can do it for what it’s worth I’m your biggest cheerleader in this context.

If you are wondering why you don’t have more control over your time..

If you are wondering why you are not more free to do what you want..

I hope this helps you as it helped me when I learned these things.

But this is not even scratching the surface you have to love learning and be eager to dive in deep with learning and doing otherwise you’re screwed and that is an inside job.

You can do it.

Feel free to share this.

Tom.

P.s. if you’d like to see what I did to decouple my time from my income feel free to ask.

There is always that 1 person Deeply offended by my posts.

To that one or two deeply triggered people trolling me:

I’m sorry to see you so deeply triggered.

I’m not microaggressing you so i’m puzzled at why you’re so triggered.

If you need a safe space I don’t judge..

I just want you to know that I don’t want you to feel like I need your captive attention.

You’re free to ignore my crazy posts about money and surround yourself with people you agree with.

If my posts about Money, jobs, Freedom, Wage Slaves upsets you (the posts I make that triggers you so badly) I have much more coming in perpetuity just a fair warning to you.

The wonderful thing about being unreserved WITHOUT attacking people is when someone is magnetized to me and my ideas it’s organic and natural from them to me and from me to them.

If I become someone I’m not to protect you from feeling uncomfortable around me then anyone I attract to me will be attracted to a disingenuous facade and that would make my heart feel empty.

I like being around people with different opinions and ideas.

For me personally I have to bow out when one of these two things happens:

1.) The person I’m talking with crosses the line from attacking ideas they disagree with to attacking the person of whom they disagree with.

2.) The person I’m talking with confidently subscribes to false facts with zero openness to the possibility they could be wrong. I.e. 2+2=5 is not an opinion we get to have because it’s wrong and that’s when I stop talking with you to put my energy with someone else.

One last thing..

Thank you for giving me something else to blog about. This post is more for people of my “tribe” than my haters. It’s for my tribe because it feels good to come together around similar philosophies that we can high five each other about.

Let’s have some FUN =)

Tom

P.S. Whether you love your job or hate your job your freedom comes when you no longer need your job to take care of you and your family any longer and that only happens when you build an asset you own that produces passive and residual money that exceeds all of your expenses. And to do that you need to be hungry to LEARN because nobody knows how to do any of that! Do you LOVE learning? You’re welcome =)

So many people brag about how Wild and Free they are while having to go report to their job and gatekeeper over how they spend their time.

Yeah you’re real wild and free.

That’s one of the biggest nuisances (and lies people tell themselves) I ever see in our, you know, our new age thinking people.

I love new age thinking but most people don’t live up to it because the idea is I’m wild and Free, I think differently, I’m open but oh I’m so wild and free I have to go to my job or I don’t get paid and I starve.

Yeah you’re real wild and free aren’t you?

It doesn’t make any sense.

It’s not even logically intellectually honest at all.

Ya wanna be wild and free beyond a cute new verbal trend?

DE-COUPLE YOUR TIME FROM YOUR INCOME.

Put the guarantee into yourself and get involved in something that has a residual and passive compensation plan so you can de-couple your time, because, if your time is coupled to your money I hate to break it to ya you’re not wild and free you’re just another sucker shackled to the dollar like everybody else whose time is coupled to their money so ya gotta de-couple the two or you’re not free.

I love you,

Tom

“the money is the root of all evil”, (a clever trick used to control people because the poor were easily subdued and obedient!) and financial ignorance and illiteracy of previous generations. Well, money is not evil, it’s how we use it. Financial independence is FREEDOM and it gives us the ability to live this very short and often messy life to the fullest. They always preach that we need to donate, donate, and donate…But how is one suppose to do that without money?!!! Nobody ever asks that question. What we need to teach our kids instead is: make as much money as possible while following your dreams, however, never ever be greedy about it or make it your whole life. Instead, once you make it, share it and use it to lift others up! – My friend Yelena wrote this.

Adding to her well spoken words..

LEARN ABOUT RESIDUAL AND PASSIVE MONEY.

Building your own passive and residual money unshackles you from the control anyone has over you via dependency of money to pay your bills and eat.

In my opinion the point of life is to focus on creating experiences not worry about money.

PAssive and residual money is the only money that can de-couple how you spend your time from your income so you CAN focus on creating experiences instead of worry.

If you’d like to see how I build passive and residual money, or to see a video I made about four ways of doing it, let me know ill show it to you either in this thread or privately whatever you’d like.

The most precious moments in the cycles of life.

You will not want to live in fear of how bills are going to be paid or if you can’t get permission from a gate keeper at your job who may deny you.

When you NEED to be where you need to be you will be so glad you learned to become free financially from ALL your expenses.

This past week I needed to be with my family for my dad who passed away. No boss to check in with. No worry about bills or how I’d be covered financially. I was free to put my energy where it needed to be and all my expenses were covered anyway.

This wasn’t given to me. I had to earn it in the midst of a dark period of struggle in my life years ago.

I’m grateful I’m of the minority of our population who is a starter and finisher. It’s worth it for these most precious moments when we truly need that wonderful passive and residual income to de-couple our time from our income so we can be where we need to be when we need to be without permission from anyone but ourselves.

It took me a while to figure it out. No one would join me when I first started. You can figure it out too with our endless help if you’ll take it.

The simplified formula for setting yourself free financially is 1. Make a decision 2. tell the world 3. Figure it out by falling head over heals in love with learning and applying what you learn along the way a constant course of correction and re correction that never stops.

Don’t fail to start because you don’t know how. Do start so it can be revealed to you how.

Don’t quit after you’ve started because you made a mistake. Do make mistakes and allow them to reveal the path to the finish line.

See your mistakes along the path of learning for what they are, that is, your road map to being a finisher rather than a quitter.

Getting started and making mistakes QUICKLY is your key ingredient to setting yourself free financially so you can LIVE free of worry about how bills and other expenses will be paid for.

My dad was very proud of me, and still is from Heaven now, that his son started and saw it through without quitting. I don’t know if he thought I’d see this through when I first started and then again when I wasn’t making any money in the beginning. He saw me stick it out and create my own success and that honestly is one HUGE motivating reason for me that I wanted to see this through. I wanted to make my dad proud of me. He already was, but still, this was really important to me that he sees me be well financially too because residual bills are a fact of life that never goes away as long as we are living so I wanted residual and passive income to over power my residual bills.

My dad saw, just as we all see, most people do not start or see things through and always have an excuse to make it easier to live with themselves for being a non starter and a quitter.

That life style of quitting is not worth it because the real damage comes as a person chips away at their individuality and self esteem.

It’s impossible to create yourself according to your own individual authenticity if you live the life style of a quitter.

It’s nothing to beat yourself up over if that’s your past. If it is your past just draw a line in the sand TODAY and tell yourself along with the rest of the world you’re jumping over that line with BOTH FEET and you’re going to start living now as your own individual free thinking authentic self.

Then watch how the world around you benefits from your light.

No more of this quitting or procrastination non sense.

To my friends who have been faithful with what you’ve been given, remember you were once a quitter too til you decided not to be a quitter anymore. Love everyone, but, prioritize your home business time and energy for people who are ready to take action now because action is the only place where a positive impact can be created.

I love you all,

Tom

If you’re interested in looking at what I’m doing just ask and I’ll show and support whatever you wanna do this or something else. My dad loved that about me and how I helped other people get healthy financially and even physically. I always supported everyone. My dad would get so pissed at telemarketers who pitched the way they did and would keep going even after he said he wasn’t interested. He loves the fact I just love and support everyone and that I build a team of people who love and support, too.   How I build and how I help others build is one of many ways I love to honor the life of my Dad.  Please feel free to share this on your timelines maybe you’ve got some friends and family who’d love the messaging of this post.

You usually just repeat the same limited experience over and over.

You learn a lot in the beginning and then stagnate.

This forces you to miss other experiences that would be much more valuable.

And if your limited skill set ever becomes obsolete, then your experience won’t be worth squat.

In fact, ask yourself what the experience you’re gaining right now will be worth in 20-30 years. Even just 5 years???

Will your job even exist then?

Many employees believe getting a job is the safest and most secure way to support themselves.

Social conditioning is amazing. It’s so good it can even make people believe the exact opposite of the truth.

Does putting yourself in a position where someone else can turn off all your income just by saying two words (“You’re fired”) sound like a safe and secure situation to you?

The idea that a job is the most secure way to generate income is just silly. You can’t have security if you don’t have control, and employees have the least control of anyone. If you’re an employee, then your real job title should be professional gambler and Domesticated human pet.

Speaking of human domestication…

Employment is human domestication designed to keep you controlled and manipulated through money dependency to pay bills.

I’m not anti job or anti work. I LOVE work I am a workaholic! I’m anti co-dependency.

When a job is optional it’s cool take it or leave it.

When a job is out of NEEDINESS or you can’t pay bills and eat then you are not independent or a free human being.

So learn about passive and residual money and do that on the side til one day at least you are a free human being, truly independent, and decide if you want to keep or rid yourself of your job because you can now.

Doesn’t that sound like more fun than this OBSCENE neediness and co-dependency for some company or the government to take care of you??

Share.

I’m not looking for people with no money who can’t afford to start their own online business. I’m looking for people who have no money and can’t afford NOT to start their own online business.

I’m not looking for people with no time. I’m looking for people who do NOT want to still be saying, “I Have no time!” a year from now.

I’m not looking for people willing to make some money from managing others sickness and poverty. I’m looking for people who have the guts to be themselves, to laugh, and to make some money perpetuating health and wealth.

I’m not looking for people who don’t know how to build their own online business. I’m looking for people who don’t know how but eagerly wants to LEARN how.

I’m not looking for people who want to live inside of what they already know where it’s “safe” and “comfortable”. I’m looking for people who want to learn more than they already know, be uncomfortable, and grow.

I’m not looking for people using the facts of their situation to be a non starter or quitter. I’m looking for people using the facts of their situation for the perfect reasons to start and see it through.

I’m an Independent Team Beachbody coach.

I want to work with more people who want to solve problems and get healthy physically and financially.

I’m attracted to people who want to decouple their time from their income so we can live FREE together.

I don’t want to worry about running out of time or how bills will be paid.

I want to enjoy life more with my friends.

If you’re interested in looking at being an Independent Team Beachbody Coach with me let me know and I’ll show you a video, or blog, whatever you prefer looking at and if you see what I see you and I will do this together.

In the health my parents are in I face regular reminders to spend time and hold close to the ones we love.

Most people are acquaintances and that’s lovely.

Few people are so much more than just acquaintances.

My dad is an inpatient once again at the local hospital for complications.

Thankfully he is showing good signs of improvement but one of these incidences he will pass on and that terrifies me honestly.

When you care for someone as much and as long as I have for my parents you tend to develop and emotional dependency on having them around.

At least that’s my experience especially with my parents.

I’m grateful I can spend time with them, care for them, be present and engaged in their lives.

At the same time it’s creating an emotional cost and that is proving to be severe on me.

I would not change my circumstances ever.

I don’t have to be at a job because I fired my boss years ago.

I’m so grateful I can be where I need to be because it’s in these precious moments that means EVERYTHING.

I’m well aware there are many tortured souls walking the earth riddled with guilt and regret about not being there for certain loved ones while living.

I’m writing this newsletter for 1.) my own personal therapy, 2.) to make sure that you know to hold closely to the ones you love, too, and 3.) if there is something you need to figure out in your own circumstances to be able to have the time and space to be where you need to be when you need to be please figure that out asap because we don’t know when we will need that freedom we just know that we will need that time freedom sooner or later.

Feel free to reply here or say hello on my Facebook.

Love to you Always

Time for LOVE & POLITICS.

We can hold more than one thought in our heads at the same time and thats what I want to talk about..

Love each other is the first thought to hold in our minds and in our hearts.

The other thought to hold in our heads right now is the future gun violence that has not happened, yet.

When is it time to learn from this tragedy in Las Vegas with over 500 people injured and over 60 dead from one gun man with fully automatic guns?

When is it time to take it to politics and create new laws that solves problems without taking our freedoms away?

When will we stop trying to silence our friends who we disagree with?

When do we listen to the other side and mutually understand each other?

Everyone on both sides of this discussion wants the gun violence against innocent people to stop so let’s understand each other on both sides since we want the same outcome.

Doesn’t that make sense to come up with solutions together since we want the same thing?

Here is the problem as we see it as to why we haven’t had any meaningful public discourse on guns, new laws, and other issues for that matter..

WE NEED TO GET ALL PRIVATE MONEY OUT OF POLITICS IMMEDIATELY.

Most of our elected leaders are on the take from big money donors. This creates an egregiously DANGEROUS conflict of interest.

They represent their biggest donors and not the people.

We cannot have an honorable or principled disagreement or agreement with our elected “leaders” because they are not honorable or principled people.

We need a constitutional amendment banning all private money from entering politics so we can have clean elections.

If we have clean elections unfettered by legalized bribes and other conflicts of interests then we can have honorable and principled discussions in disagreement or in agreement.

We can finally work toward solving problems because they’d be representing the people.

Private money (legalized bribes) in politics has corrupted, broken, and shattered our entire system of government and we can’t have any honorable principled public discourse because of it.

Some say this is not the time for politics. I HEAR YOU.

I believe this has to be the time for politics but NOT POLITICS AS USUAL.

Politics is where legalized change happens.

There are untold future gun violence events that are imminent.

The sooner we get political about it in an HONORABLE WAY the sooner we can begin preventing future gun violence.

If we wait too long then we will forget and no change happens.

If we hold these two thoughts in our heads at the same time, LOVE and ACTION FOR SOLUTIONS IN POLITICS, then just maybe we can begin preventing future gun violence.

We have a terrible gun violence problem in the USA that is unprecedented by anywhere else in the world.

We need to embrace being able to hold onto more than one thought in our heads at the same time so we can LOVE each other AND take this to politics for solutions.

But again, it can’t be politics as usual or nothing will change.

How about politics as UNUSUAL in that we understand each other and working together for solutions beginning with amending our constitution to BAN ALL PRIVATE MONEY FROM POLITICS SO WE CAN HAVE THESE NEEDED DISCUSSIONS WITH OUR ELECTED LEADERS.

In the meantime my heart is broken 🙁

-Tom

Love and Healing to everyone affected by this horrible event. I want to share with you something very well written and expressed by by Dr. Brad Strawn M.D. Surgeon. He had some reflections on this terrible tragedy that I thought were worth sharing….

Guns: Defense or Destruction?

8:01 AM Newport Beach, CA
The Latest News Report: “50+ killed in Las Vegas Strip massacre; gunman had 10 rifles”

This one hit closest to home. My wife woke me up this morning with the news. Route 91 Harvest Festival was the Country Music event I had been begging her to go to since the beginning of the year. We couldn’t go because Grandma was taking her vacation to Washington, DC this weekend to finally go on her White House tour – she was with us in Georgetown with tour tickets for 9/11/01.

I know seven people who were in Vegas; I had seen their posts on Facebook and Instagram – one patient of mine, three coworkers, and some close friends. It only took a few minutes of texting and social media research to find out they were okay. No one close to me was injured.

So now what?

We wait for the final body counts. We watch the videos posted on Facebook. We listen to the Democrats in congress demanding action on gun control. We wait to hear from the Republicans and the NRA. We learn everything there is to know about the shooter. We watch the 24/7 coverage on the news stations. We go to work. We go to another birthday party. We appreciate our children a little more. We hear that a bill has been proposed, but won’t get enough bipartisan support to pass. There is another hurricane off the coast of Florida. We slowly forget.

Most vivid memory: A Friday night at the San Francisco General Hospital. I am a Third Year Surgical Resident on the Trauma Service. “Doc, don’t let me die,” a handsome young African American kid says to me as I am pulling his gurney down the hall to the elevator. “I don’t want to die,” he says. I see a tear in his eye. I think of how he was probably so tuff a few hours earlier. “You’ll be okay,” I say, knowing otherwise. He was holding his left lower abdomen where the bullet hole entered. It wasn’t long before the scalpel cut through the abdominal fascia and I saw the abdomen full of blood. Hours later, after a desperate and exhausting attempt at finding and controlling the bleeding from the deep veins near his back; after pints and pints of blood and liters and liters of fluids had been pumped into his vascular system; after holding his not beating heart in my hands and squeezing has hard and fast as I could, after looking around at the carnage—the blood on the floor, the tired surgeons, residents, nurses, and anesthesiologists; after all this, it was over. Dead. This is not fiction.

Disclaimer: I am not entrenched in either the Fox News or the MSNBC camp. I am neither Republican or Democrate. I actually think our two party system is making our country dysfunctional.

My Gun History: I do not own a gun. But I did have a dream a couple months ago where someone was in my house shooting at my children and I was lying on the floor next to my bed cursing the fact that I did not have one. I come from a family of hunters and outdoorsmen. I learned to shoot a gun as soon as I was big enough not to get knocked over from the kick. I went to Hunters Safety classes and actually went hunting a few times with my father. Other than spending time with him, I thought it was boring. I have a “One Shot, One Kill” medal in a box somewhere in the garage. While in ROTC Officer’s Training Camp I shot 30 / 30 on the M16 pop-up target course.
Then I think back on those 30 hour Friday shifts at the Trauma Center. I would show up at 5:00 and would already be getting the text page for a 65yo Asian woman who was run over in a crosswalk. And then a few hours later, the 43yo white male hit while riding his bike to work; Mid-day the crushed construction worker; in the early evening, the 23yo Hispanic male with a knife wound to the chest. There was always something causing death.

And on other days, I think of the time I read Elie Wiesel’s Night for the second time. I remember thinking, how could a whole group of people allow themselves and their families to be herded into cattle cars. And I remember thinking, this was only possible because the Germans had guns, and they didn’t.

I also think of how our country has never been invaded. Is it because our citizens are armed?

I don’t have the answers.

I can think logically…

Equation: Guns + Crazy person + Public event = Mass Murder.

But then what do we do now? Address one, or all, of the variables? How?

Are we, as individuals safer with guns? Or, less safe?

Is it fair to blame one person or group? The NRA? President Trump? Congress? Health Care? Las Vegas?
Do we all hide in our homes for the rest of our life? Do we miss out on all the experiences life has to offer? Do we stop flying? Do we stop travelling? Do we stop gathering as a community to celebrate life?

I don’t know

Stephen Covey talks about two circles: the circle of concern and the circle of influence. Today, we are all concerned about gun violence. Many of us will come up with solutions. Each solution has its costs and benefits. If history repeats itself, nothing substantial will happen, and we will continue on with life.

Maybe we can all, as individuals, today, work within our circle of influence: parents love your children; teachers love your students; love your neighbors; community leaders love your community; representatives come up with pragmatic solutions; leaders inspire us all to be better people. What else should we do?

Well, I have to get to work: I have patients to see; I have to pick up my daughter from dance tonight; an Indian Princesses planning meeting tomorrow night; and a hospital staff meeting on Wednesday. Life goes on.

But it will never be the same for my loved ones who were in the crowd enjoying the music of Jason Aldean. Their lives have been changed for good. I love you all. Stay strong. And as my dad always says, “Keep Fighting It!”

Just an Observation: People are “triggered” at other people who are triggered and neither side is aware they are participating in the same “circle jerk” of triggers.

Jack is triggered.

Jill is triggered because jack is triggered.

Now jack and jill are both super duper triggered that the other is triggered over the other being so triggered…and… Circle Jerk =)

The big question I have is this..

Who will “get off” first so we can move passed our current cultural phase of a trigger happy people clinging to safe spaces from each others micro aggressions???

Jack and Jill need to return to fetching pails of water…

OH wait that didn’t turn out so good either…

I’ll take jack breaking his crown, falling down, and jill tumbling after over being perpetually triggered any day =)

Maybe.. Just maybe…

We live in a trigger happy devolving culture because it’s made for a WONDERFULLY SUCCESSFUL Distraction.

Who would distract us? And from what???

You need to keep up your OBEDIENCE training.

Don’t get cute and start questioning why you are controlled and manipulated through money dependency to pay bills and eat!

Don’t start developing into a free thinking person on the FEVERISH SEARCH to become independently HEALTHY and WEALTHY!

They NEED you to defend your current source of income as Intelligent, safe, stable, and all of the other unforgivable egregious lies they’ve been selling you.

If you evolve into an independent free thinking human being it effs up their plans to keep you obedient because if you BREAK your obedience to what they’ve built for you to live inside of then you become difficult or IMPOSSIBLE to further control and manipulate through the dependency of money to pay your bills.

They lose their power to make you a sick hospital patient, a victim of soulless private health insurance companies, and a PhRMA customer if you dare break your chains they’ve given you to shackle yourself with.

As it turns out we are very easily distracted.

The distractions change but one thing that is consistent is we keep their status quo “business as usual” system in place so they can have more while You have less.

Todays distraction is… Let’s Trigger everyone!

I bet not even they who self protect their own interests imagined we’d run with the distraction they’ve given us and expand it into safe spaces, micro-aggressions, and doubling down on our own self destructive behaviors.

Please tell me if you have a different idea..

I believe most of my friends are female because I became an entrepreneur when I signed up for the Beachbody home business opportunity.

Women are taking over the world.

Guys have no guts no testicles anymore when it comes to taking chances and owning their life.

Women are stepping up and doing that.

Guys are typically pissed off at my existence they feel extremely threatened and jealous.

They are so damn insecure over nothing.

Most women have bigger balls than most guys.

Most guys are looking for a second mom in a girlfriend to take care of them.

Most women are becoming more interested in firing their boss and owning their own income and their own life.

Most women are interested in becoming truly independent and free.

Most men are more interested in having a company take care of them and a woman to take care of them like a baby.

I’ve noticed this pattern for about the last 10 years now so it’s nothing new but it goes to the heart as to why I believe almost all of my friends are female and most guys feel threatened at my existence which is completely stupid on their part.

And as always, men and women, you’re welcome to Facebook inbox me if you’re interested in looking at what I’ve got to see if you’d like to do this too.

Valedictorians and other straight A students TYPICALLY end up working for D, C, and drop out students and others who were “wrong”..LoL

If I gambled I would “bet the farm” there are going to be people who read this and tell themselves, “thats why I cant be financially free I’m too smart I got good grades in school” LoL

We will find rationale to talk ourselves into or out of anything we want.

Our circumstances don’t matter.

There is always someone out there who had it worse than you who went on to figure it out.

It’s an Inside job.

The problem and solution is within your head.

Mine too!

Sometimes it’s hard living in my head and would be nice to be able to take breaks from myself..LoL

But that’s not going to happen except maybe in different meditative work.

11 years ago my job was off-shored to India and I was a miserable excuse making self loathing mess.

And totally by my own doing because I was foolish enough to depend on a job to afford bills and food.

While I know the first step in becoming financially free is the hardest, the journey is so worth it.

Ask yourself two questions:

1. What will I gain by taking care of myself Physically, Emotionally, and Financially?

2. Then ask yourself, what is the cost of not doing anything?

But here I am, 11 YEARS later and Healthy and Financially free from needing a job to support myself and I’m the healthiest I’ve ever been at 40, even healthier than I was at 20.

I remember staring into my bathroom mirror in upset and anger over myself at doing nothing to become financially free and independent 11 years ago.

Do something about your situation friends.

YOU CAN DO IT.

Don’t wait like I did until your job is gone which can happen at any time for ANY reason because you don’t own that job or that income someone else does and their goal is to cut payroll expenses whenever possible.

If you’ve already lost your job then you’re in my shoes and I got myself out of that mess. You can do it too.

Ever get invited to someones house under the pretense of a “fun” social gathering only to find out AFTER THE FACT it’s a sales pitch for an MLM company?

I joined an MLM company.

Everyone was upfront and honest no bait and switch.

That’s how it’s suppose to be and thats what attracted me to the MLM I joined over other MLM companies.

#integrity

If YOU go to someones house for what was described to you as a FUN SOCIAL GATHERING and then after you get there it’s an MLM sales pitch…

What would you do??

I’d call them out for baiting and switching then I’d go join another one that doesn’t do that garbage.

What would you do though?

Damn!!! Summer months of 2017 GONE…

Now it’s time to make fall and then winter count and then we get another spring and summer =)

The four seasons are a really cool diverse ever changing circular pattern of all kinds of good, bad, ugly, beautiful, life, death…

What are some other circular never ending patterns in your life?

We cannot control the seasons any more than we can control the sunsets and sunrises.

The seasons and sunsets and sunrises are two circular patterns in nature we have no control over.

Nature doesn’t ask us to like it or hate it.

Nature asks us to cooperate with it if we want to thrive.

Nature has no biases or prejudices!

So what are some circular patterns you DO have degrees of control over?

What circular patterns can you throw a wrench into and develop a BETTER circular patterns in place of ones you’re not too happy with?

Your Health?

Your money situation?

Your emotions?

Your spirituality?

The Quality of your Relationships?

Your Skills?

Financial Freedom?

Monthly Residual bills but No Residual Income???

Your Freedom?

Your Job that shackles you to money?

Your self employment that shackles you to money?

All of those and more you do have degrees of control over but it starts with a mental mindset shift.

Freedom of the mind precedes all other freedoms!

The antithesis to freedom of the mind is going to be the mental gymnastics you do to create the rationale behind your excuses to make it a lil easier to live with yourself for having those excuses.

Change your mind.

You can do it.

No more self absorbed BS.

Sell yourself something better than the BS you’ve been selling yourself for years.

Sell yourself on unwinding a life time of self sabotaging thinking for something BETTER.

The same mechanism that creates excuses can also be used to create reverse excuses which actually end up being the reasons why you can do what you want.

Here is how you can create reverse excuses so you can do what you want.

When you reverse a negative you turn it into a positive.

You’re already good at doing this if you’re good at making excuses. Lets be honest we are all good at making excuses. I do it millions of times and then what I do is I reverse it and I will use that same excuse that other people will DIE believing in. Ill make an excuse for my excuse which is a reverse excuse. You don’t even have to think positive to reverse your excuses.

Examples of common excuses people will live and DIE by:
I don’t have the money and so I can’t. People say this a lot that they cant do something because they don’t have the money. Here is how you reverse that and make an excuse for it. You say, I can’t not do this because I don’t have money and I want to change that so I never ever ever say I don’t have money ever again from this day forward.

You just made your excuse you were living and dying by into a powerful reason why you CAN do something to get what you want instead of why you can’t. Isn’t that more fun???

I can’t because I don’t have time. Instead, I can’t not do this because I have no time and I’m sick and tired of not having the time that I want. So I can’t not make this positive decision because if I don’t make this positive decision right NOW then I’m going to continue not having the time that I Want.

I cant do this because my spouse won’t let me. Instead, men or women, I can’t not do this because I don’t have control over my life and my wife / spouse doesn’t trust me so I cant not make a decision that’s going to empower my family to where my wife / spouse trusts me aging because I’m a real man / woman.

I cant do this because I have to think about it. Instead, I can’t not do this because I need real time to think about the decisions that I Want in my life. And I’m so caught up in my life that literally I cant do what I want because I’m always stuck in procrastination mode. I can’t not make this decision right now.

Just reverse this crap! What ever your reasons are..

I cant do this because I’m poor. Instead, I can’t not do it because I don’t want to be poor forever.

Change that reason you’re giving yourself why you can’t into a perfect reason why you can. This gives you permission to keep making excuses so you can make excuses for your excuses. This gives you permission to be negative on purpose and you’ll actually accomplish stuff and get what you want now. How cool is that? I cant not do this because I’m sick of being poor!!

“Follow the money” is loosely thrown around.

When people say “Follow the money” they are talking about politicians, lawyers, doctors, beneath the surface of their shallow spoken words.

What about YOUR money?

It’s easy to say “follow the money” when you’re talking about other people.

What about when YOU buy stuff made in other countries where Child Slavery is accepted and human suffering is condoned so you get your product for a nickel cheaper?

What about all the blood, death, and Human suffering on your hands if we “follow the money” on your money you spend?

How much income and inequality did YOU personally contribute if we “follow the money” of your spending habits?

How much Ego do you have to not question where your time and MONEY is going?

Middle America you’re a COWARD to save a nickel at the expense of children half way around the world.

If we “follow the money” in your own spending we would find the majority of middle America funds child sex slave rings, human trafficking, human suffering, corruption in business and in politics, and you were even DUMB enough to DECIMATE your own livelihood so someone else could have more while you have less.

Middle america needs an ego check because they are the dumbest most immoral and self sabotaging people on planet earth if we “follow the money”.

But, you’ve built a facade that looks and sounds like everyone else.

Start saying “YES” and “I WILL FIGURE IT OUT EVEN IF I DONT KNOW HOW, YET” so the True YOU starts to Shine…

Instead you’ve become a mental gymnast, just like everyone else.

You do incredible mental gymnastics to rationalize and protect the excuses you built your exterior facade with for why you say “NO” and why you don’t see anything important through.

This makes it temporarily easier for you to live with yourself for holding onto your excuses but deep down you know that kind of self-protection does not work and makes you appear just like everyone else.

You blame facts like no money no time no skill no background no resources no support and anything else you need to make it easier to live with yourself for holding onto your excuses.

You’ve made the rationale of your excuses your best friend which has turned out to be the worst friend you’ve ever had.

Hate the rationale for the excuses not the unique person behind it all.

Your TRUE best friend is that unique person your FALSE best friend has buried inside of you.

Here are some tips to help you to become the REAL you.

Instead of “I can’t afford” ask “how can I afford” and figure it out.

Instead of “I don’t have time” ask “how can I become more faithful with the time I do have so I have more free time to spend my time how I want?” and figure it out.

Instead of “I dont know how” start asking “what books, webinars, blogs, seminars, teachers, etc do I need to learn how?” and be a GREAT student.

Instead of “the going got tough I think I’ll quit” start saying “the going just got tough time to double down on getting tough myself and seeing it through I will do whatever it takes to figure it out”.

Instead of saying NO to opportunities say YES and then figure it out and get some help from the right teachers along the way.

Instead of using your kids as an excuse and crutch to say no to your dreams SHOW THEM the hard work with complete transparency of doing whatever it takes for your own dreams so they can see their dreams are worth fighting for, too.

Instead of using facebook as a complete waste of time to be facebroke learn how to use facebook to be FACERICH as the platform of positive impact it is for FREE GLOBAL REACH.

Instead of consumer debt say yes to investment debt.

Instead of saying “I don’t know how” Say “I’m going to learn how”.

Instead of sitting on what you learn ACT on what you learn so you avoid devolving into an educated derelict.

Instead of prioritizing your self image in the eyes of others above making a positive difference REVERSE THAT and make positive impact a priority above protecting your self image in the eyes of others!

Instead of talking yourself out of opportunity talk yourself into opportunity.

Instead of making excuses, start making excuses for your excuses so your excuses are ultimately cancelled out and your true self begins to shine.

Instead of selling stuff no one wants or needs, share and Connect with the willing.

Instead of looking for whats wrong with opportunity look for what’s right with it.

Instead of being obedient to those who want to control and manipulate you through money dependency to pay your bills and eat, learn about financial freedom and BECOME A THREAT TO THOSE WHO WANT TO CONTROL AND MANIPULATE YOU.

Instead of living a life style of an Obedient cash cow sucker to private health insurance and PhRMA companies learn how to become Independently Healthy and WEALTHY which would evolve you into a direct Threat to Private Health insurance and PhRMA companies.

Instead of waiting on the government or some company to take care of you and create opportunity for you, CREATE YOUR OWN OPPORTUNITY AND BECOME INDEPENDENT FROM THAT PYRAMID SCAM NONSENSE.

Instead of working for ordinary income, work for PASSIVE and RESIDUAL income so you can CREATE THE SPACE AND FREEDOM TO BE YOUR UNRESERVED TRUE UNIQUE SELF.

I hope I’ve been able to give more than enough ammo to the true person inside of you to FINALLY come out BLAZING and UNRESERVED.

It’s time to LIBERATE your true self from your DUMB False Self and be happy =)

I promise there are people in your circle who need to hear this and CRAVE to hear this because they are sick of a newsfeed cluttered with nonsensical garbage.

This morning someone who read some of my blogs about how I bought my house in cash and get to travel BITCHED AT ME because “not everyone can be lucky like you, Tom”.

Here is what always annoys me when someone makes the “luck” statement about me vs. them…

I started my process of being able to do these things when I had no job, no income, no unemployment benefits, no free time, no energy, no resources, no tools, straight Ds in Grade School Special Ed Classes, I rode the “short buts”, No skills, No good experience..

I did not have luck on my side.

Here’s the difference..

I stopped being lazy about my problems and started to figure stuff out.

It wasn’t having things that made the difference because I didn’t have things.

I don’t have the background or a lotto ticket.

I didnt have income, time, or skill so I figured out how to come up with income, time, and learn new skills.

I worked on these things not once and a while, but 7 days a week until I emerged a free human being WITHOUT a Job.

I wanted financial freedom because it’s the one thing that affects all other things.

Financial freedom is Time freedom.

I choose teachers over television.
I chose to invest rather than spend.
I chose veggies over cake most of the time.
I teach as I learn so you take action with me.
I drink my superfoods shake daily.

Now that I’m a free human being I choose to travel instead of have a job, be free of consumer debt, own my house so I have no mortgage and no rent, I fired my boss, I LOVE teaching stuff in my videos and blogs, I love creating my own random adventures and being a Free Spirit without shackles to the dollar.

This doesn’t have to be what healthy and FREEDOM looks like for you… but don’t lessen my hard work to make yourself feel better.

I can do things physically people half my age can’t do and I’m more free with my time than people twice my age and I plan to keep showing up to show YOU what’s possible to inspire You who wants to take action.

When you say, “I can’t _____ because xyz” what you’re really saying is “I lack the creativity and ingenuity to figure stuff out”.

Remember to look at how far you’ve come and build on that!

Learn some new skills from the right teachers and mentors and take action on what you learn.

Find out what most people are doing, how they think, how they make excuses, how they spend their time and money, how they say NO to opportunity and YES to being Wage Slaves, and DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE.

If you’re sincerely interested in what I did to create health and freedom feel free to facebook inbox me.

Share if you’d like.

And totally by my own doing because I was foolish enough to depend on a job to afford bills and food.

While I know the first step in becoming financially free is the hardest, the journey is so worth it.

Ask yourself two questions:

1. What will I gain by taking care of myself Physically, Emotionally, and Financially?

2. Then ask yourself, what is the cost of not doing anything?

But here I am, 11 YEARS later and Healthy and Financially free from needing a job to support myself and I’m the healthiest I’ve ever been at 40, even healthier than I was at 20.

I remember staring into my bathroom mirror in upset and anger over myself at doing nothing to become financially free and independent 11 years ago.

Do something about your situation friends.

YOU CAN DO IT.

Don’t wait like I did until your job is gone which can happen at any time for ANY reason because you don’t own that job or that income someone else does and their goal is to cut payroll expenses whenever possible.

If you’ve already lost your job then you’re in my shoes and I got myself out of that mess. You can do it too.

Hear me out it goes against the grain of Obedient Popular “Thinking”..

Job money robs you of your time and shackles you to control and manipulation through dependency to pay bills and eat.

Passive and Residual money buys you your time back and unshackles you from dependency so you can spend your time however you want.

It’s funny that when people reach a certain age, such as after graduating college, they assume it’s time to go out and get a job.

But like many things the masses do, just because everyone does it doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. In fact, if you’re reasonably intelligent, getting a job is one of the worst things you can do to support yourself. There are far better ways to make a living than selling yourself into indentured servitude.

Here are some reasons you should do everything in your power to avoid getting a job:

1. Income for dummies.

Getting a job and trading your time for money may seem like a good idea. There’s only one problem with it. It’s stupid! It’s the stupidest way you can possibly generate income! This is truly income for dummies.

Why is getting a job so dumb?

Because you only get paid when you’re working. Don’t you see a problem with that, or have you been so thoroughly brainwashed into thinking it’s reasonable and intelligent to only earn income when you’re working? Have you never considered that it might be better to be paid even when you’re not working? Who taught you that you could only earn income while working? Some other brainwashed employee perhaps?

Don’t you think your life would be much easier if you got paid while you were eating, sleeping, and playing with the kids too? Why not get paid 24/7? Get paid whether you work or not. Don’t your plants grow even when you aren’t tending to them? Why not your bank account?

Who cares how many hours you work?

Only a handful of people on this entire planet care how much time you spend at the office. Most of us won’t even notice whether you work 6 hours a week or 60. But if you have something of value to provide that matters to us, a number of us will be happy to pull out our wallets and pay you for it. We don’t care about your time — we only care enough to pay for the value we receive. Do you really care how long it took me to write this article? Would you pay me twice as much if it took me 6 hours vs. only 3?

Non-dummies often start out on the traditional income for dummies path. So don’t feel bad if you’re just now realizing you’ve been suckered. Non-dummies eventually realize that trading time for money is indeed extremely dumb and that there must be a better way. And of course there is a better way. The key is to de-couple your value from your time.

Smart people build systems that generate income 24/7, especially passive income. Once it’s in motion, it runs continuously whether you tend to it or not. From that moment on, the bulk of your time can be invested in increasing your income (by refining your system or spawning new ones) instead of merely maintaining your income.

Once you get going, you won’t have to work so many hours to support yourself. Wouldn’t it be nice to be out having dinner with your spouse, knowing that while you’re eating, you’re earning money? If you want to keep working long hours because you enjoy it, go right ahead. If you want to sit around doing nothing, feel free. As long as your system continues delivering value to others, you’ll keep getting paid whether you’re working or not.

Nobody is born knowing how to start a business or generate investment income, but you can easily learn it. How long it takes you to figure it out is irrelevant because the time is going to pass anyway. You might as well emerge at some future point as the owner of income-generating systems as opposed to a lifelong wage slave. This isn’t all or nothing. If your system only generates a few hundred dollars a month, that’s a significant step in the right direction.

2. Limited experience.

You might think it’s important to get a job to gain experience. But that’s like saying you should play golf to get experience playing golf. You gain experience from living, regardless of whether you have a job or not. A job only gives you experience at that job, but you gain ”experience” doing just about anything, so that’s no real benefit at all. Sit around doing nothing for a couple years, and you can call yourself an experienced meditator, philosopher, or politician.

The problem with getting experience from a job is that you usually just repeat the same limited experience over and over. You learn a lot in the beginning and then stagnate. This forces you to miss other experiences that would be much more valuable. And if your limited skill set ever becomes obsolete, then your experience won’t be worth squat. In fact, ask yourself what the experience you’re gaining right now will be worth in 20-30 years. Will your job even exist then?

Consider this. Which experience would you rather gain? The knowledge of how to do a specific job really well — one that you can only monetize by trading your time for money – or the knowledge of how to enjoy financial abundance for the rest of your life without ever needing a job again? Now I don’t know about you, but I’d rather have the latter experience. That seems a lot more useful in the real world, wouldn’t you say?

3. Lifelong domestication.

Getting a job is like enrolling in a human domestication program. You learn how to be a good pet.

Look around you. Really look. What do you see? Are these the surroundings of a free human being? Or are you living in a cage for unconscious animals? Have you fallen in love with the color beige?

How’s your obedience training coming along? Does your master reward your good behavior? Do you get disciplined if you fail to obey your master’s commands?

Is there any spark of free will left inside you? Or has your conditioning made you a pet for life?

Humans are not meant to be raised in cages. You poor thing…

4. Too many mouths to feed.

Employee income is the most heavily taxed there is. In the USA you can expect that about half your salary will go to taxes. The tax system is designed to disguise how much you’re really giving up because some of those taxes are paid by your employer, and some are deducted from your paycheck. But you can bet that from your employer’s perspective, all of those taxes are
considered part of your pay, as well as any other compensation you receive such as benefits. Even the rent for the office space you consume is considered, so you must generate that much more value to cover it. You might feel supported by your corporate environment, but keep in mind that you’re the one paying for it.

Another chunk of your income goes to owners and investors. That’s a lot of mouths to feed.

It isn’t hard to understand why employees pay the most in taxes relative to their income. After all, who has more control over the tax system? Business owners and investors or employees?
You only get paid a fraction of the real value you generate. Your real salary may be more than triple what you’re paid, but most of that money you’ll never see. It goes straight into other people’s pockets.

What a generous person you are!

5. Way too risky.

Many employees believe getting a job is the safest and most secure way to support themselves.
Morons.

Social conditioning is amazing. It’s so good it can even make people believe the exact opposite of the truth.

Does putting yourself in a position where someone else can turn off all your income just by saying two words (“You’re fired”) sound like a safe and secure situation to you? Does having only one income stream honestly sound more secure than having 10?
The idea that a job is the most secure way to generate income is just silly. You can’t have security if you don’t have control, and employees have the least control of anyone. If you’re an employee, then your real job title should be professional gambler.

6. Having an evil bovine master.

When you run into an idiot in the entrepreneurial world, you can turn around and head the other way. When you run into an idiot in the corporate world, you have to turn around and say, “Sorry, boss.”

Did you know that the word boss comes from the Dutch word baas, which historically means master? Another meaning of the word boss is “a cow or bovine.” And in many video games, the boss is the evil dude that you have to kill at the end of a level.
So if your boss is really your evil bovine master, then what does that make you? Nothing but a turd in the herd.
Who’s your daddy?

7. Begging for money.

When you want to increase your income, do you have to sit up and beg your master for more money? Does it feel good to be thrown some extra Scooby Snacks now and then?

Or are you free to decide how much you get paid without needing anyone’s permission but your own?

If you have a business and one customer says “no” to you, you simply say “next.”

8. An inbred social life.

Many people treat their jobs as their primary social outlet. They hang out with the same people working in the same field. Such incestuous relations are social dead ends. An exciting day includes deep conversations about the company’s switch from Sparkletts to Arrowhead, the delay of Microsoft’s latest operating system, and the unexpected delivery of more Bic pens. Consider what it would be like to go outside and talk to strangers. Ooooh… scary! Better stay inside where it’s safe.

If one of your co-slaves gets sold to another master, do you lose a friend? If you work in a male-dominated field, does that mean you never get to talk to women above the rank of receptionist? Why not decide for yourself whom to socialize with instead of letting your master decide for you? Believe it or not, there are locations on this planet where free people congregate. Just be wary of those jobless folk — they’re a crazy bunch!

9. Loss of freedom.

It takes a lot of effort to tame a human being into an employee. The first thing you have to do is break the human’s independent will. A good way to do this is to give them a weighty policy manual filled with nonsensical rules and regulations. This leads the new employee to become more obedient, fearing that s/he could be disciplined at any minute for something incomprehensible. Thus, the employee will likely conclude it’s safest to simply obey the master’s commands without question. Stir in some office politics for good measure, and we’ve got a freshly minted mind slave.
As part of their obedience training, employees must be taught how to dress, talk, move, and so on. We can’t very well have employees thinking for themselves, now can we? That would ruin everything.

God forbid you should put a plant on your desk when it’s against the company policy. Oh no, it’s the end of the world! Cindy has a plant on her desk! Summon the enforcers! Send Cindy back for another round of sterility training!

Free human beings think such rules and regulations are silly of course. The only policy they need is: “Be smart. Be nice. Do what you love. Have fun.”

10. Becoming a coward.

Have you noticed that employed people have an almost endless capacity to whine about problems at their companies? But they don’t really want solutions – they just want to vent and make excuses why it’s all someone else’s fault. It’s as if getting a job somehow drains all the free will out of people and turns them into spineless cowards. If you can’t call your boss a jerk now and then without fear of getting fired, you’re no longer free. You’ve become your master’s property.

When you work around cowards all day long, don’t you think it’s going to rub off on you? Of course it will. It’s only a matter of time before you sacrifice the noblest parts of your humanity on the altar of fear: first courage… then honesty… then honor and integrity… and finally your independent will. You sold your humanity for nothing but an illusion. And now your greatest fear is discovering the truth of what you’ve become.

I don’t care how badly you’ve been beaten down. It is never too late to regain your courage. Never!

Still want a job?

If you’re currently a well-conditioned, well-behaved employee, your most likely reaction to the above will be defensiveness. It’s all part of the conditioning. But consider that if the above didn’t have a grain of truth to it, you wouldn’t have an emotional reaction at all. This is only a reminder of what you already know. You can deny your cage all you want, but the cage is still there. Perhaps this all happened so gradually that you never noticed it until now… like a lobster enjoying a nice warm bath.

If any of this makes you mad, that’s a step in the right direction. Anger is a higher level of consciousness than apathy, so it’s a lot better than being numb all the time. Any emotion — even confusion — is better than apathy. If you work through your feelings instead of repressing them, you’ll soon emerge on the doorstep of courage. And when that happens, you’ll have the will to actually do something about your situation and start living like the powerful human being you were meant to be instead of the domesticated pet you’ve been trained to be.
Happily jobless

What’s the alternative to getting a job? The alternative is to remain happily jobless for life and to generate income through other means. Realize that you earn income by providing value — not time – so find a way to provide your best value to others, and charge a fair price for it. One of the simplest and most accessible ways is to start your own business. Whatever work you’d otherwise do via employment, find a way to provide that same value directly to those who will benefit most from it. It takes a bit more time to get going, but your freedom is easily worth the initial investment of time and energy. Then you can buy your own Scooby Snacks for a change.

And of course everything you learn along the way, you can share with others to generate even more value. So even your mistakes can be monetized.

One of the greatest fears you’ll confront is that you may not have any real value to offer others. Maybe being an employee and getting paid by the hour is the best you can do. Maybe you just aren’t worth that much. That line of thinking is all just part of your conditioning. It’s absolute nonsense. As you begin to dump such brainwashing, you’ll soon recognize that you have the ability to provide enormous value to others and that people will gladly pay you for it. There’s only one thing that prevents you from seeing this truth — fear.

All you really need is the courage to be yourself. Your real value is rooted in who you are, not what you do. The only thing you need actually do is express your real self to the world. You’ve been told all sort of lies as to why you can’t do that. But you’ll never know true happiness and fulfillment until you summon the courage to do it anyway.

The next time someone says to you, “Get a job,” I suggest you reply as Curly did: ”No, please… not that! Anything but that!” Then poke him right in the eyes.

You already know deep down that getting a job isn’t what you want. So don’t let anyone try to tell you otherwise. Learn to trust your inner wisdom, even if the whole world says you’re wrong and foolish for doing so. Years from now you’ll look back and realize it was one of the best decisions you ever made.

The ten reasons I got from Steve Pavlina I hope you enjoyed it.

While I wouldn’t recommend starting an online business for anyone who does not hunger for learning, for everyone else who does hunger for learning it’s the best way to generate income without a job. It has certainly worked disgustingly well for me.
