Peru Hope is one of my original blog sites. It’s been neglected in favor of other sites we use for business. One of the main things that I stress is that having a business, a home, and a family are what make the world go around. These things allow us to do more with our lives. Our kids are our hope for the future.
A discussion that we have had lately is the difference between working a job, and having a business. In the Hispanic community having a job is the much safer way to live. My question is if it will provide what is needed to make that leap into financial independence. A better question is if the days of working for a company until retirement, then living well the rest of your days in comfort, are gone forever.
I have had businesses for forty years. Whenever I work a job it is like a vacation. In the time that I have been writing on my blogs it never occurred to me to talk about my businesses as an alternative. People watch me work, many hours a day, many more than they, but no one asks what I’m doing, so I don’t really share much.
I think that rather than talk about charity that my time here would be better spent talking about business.
Being your own boss puts your destiny in your own hands. You can be a great employee and work for a company without vision, or a boss that doesn’t empower you and go nowhere because “the wagon train” your hooked up too is going the wrong direction.
