The other day I asked several people on the street, in the mall, and in stores (10 actually) if they were willing to work hard for 15 days to earn about $15,000. The answers ranged from, "What kinda work?" to "Hell yes!" The odd thing was most people just said, "No." or "I don't have the time." They did not even ask how many hours a day. Why were they not concerned with how many hours a day?
So I changed my question to this: If you were paid overtime pay for about 10 to 15 hours each day for 15 days on your present job, would you? Once again I was astounded by the answers I received. Almost everyone said yes!
If a person makes, say $10.00 per hour, the overtime rate would be $15.00 per hour. Now if they worked 15 hours a day at this rate it amounts to $225.00 (US Dollars). This times 15 days would equal $3,375 (US Dollars).
The reason this is astounding is because they were not willing to work hard for the same number of hours in their own home to make $15,000.00 for their own bank accounts, but they were willing to do it on their existing JOBS to put money into someone elses pocket. Sure they would have earned $3,375, but the people they work for would have earned much more.
So I ask you, what's wrong with this picture?
It's called a Paradigm pronounced:(para-dime). Paradigm Paralysis, if you will. The inability to see beyond the current models of thinking. Get my point?
