Okay I have a question. This question may be thoroughly confusing but I hope you understand it. Entrepreneurs will say constantly that you should be hungry for as much money as possible but also say that the number 1 thing you should thrive for is freedom (i.e. freedom of your geographical location, free to eat what you want, yada yada)
My question is let’s say there is a certain amount you will inevitably profit either running a POS business or working a high paying corporate job and you know that that fixed amount will make you more than any entrepreneurial endeavour you could have online, what percentage of the that should that percentage be what you’d make with your online entrepreneurial endeavours would be just too low where taking the route that will pay you more will be the better alternative?
On one hand, it would be nice to make money remotely, that way I ALWAYS have control over my geographical location but at the same time, I wouldn’t mind working in a box temporarily but working my ass off that way I can retire earlier and enjoy the spoils of my income.
Conditions change depending on where you live. Cost of living is real. If you work 40 hours a week on minimum wage in the US you are going to have a hard time making ends meet. It’s a fallacy to say that you shouldn’t complain just because someone will have a great life with your salary.
A lot of people are not after status. Specially those who are struggling to survive. You should really take a look at Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Living in a rich country doesn’t automatically mean all your needs are met. Specially in the US where healthcare and education is so expensive. Those are things that literally get people bankrupt. People have plenty of reasons to complain. The rich keep on getting rich without paying living wages to their employees. That’s just exploitation
