The 9 to 5 Job is Dead

There are those who still get up each morning to go somewhere that they hate. It could be the money and their sense of responsibility, why else would someone go where they hate being. There were many years in my life that I spent going to a job I hated with all my heart. 

The bills kept me trapped. Without the job how would I earn a living. The fear of having to live on the street imagine the horror if being left homeless if I did not got to work everyday. On the other hand what good is life if you are stuck spending more then half of it making a living instead of living. As I did my research for options it became clear that I could make a living, but on my own terms. The amount of technology has changed the way money is earned. If you can write an email or share an idea with others you can make a living. Thousands of people each day read content I create. This content is given away free to anyone who wants to learn. There are many ways I can monetize the information, but the most important thing I can do is help others. The karma you get back is never ending when you do things for the benefit of others.

At my last job I did things to benefit the company. They paid a salary, but never shared the profits sometimes there was bonus paid.

When you do things for yourself all the profit is yours. Have you ever thought if you could market your skills to clients without having to work 9 to 5. In this day and age you can easily find clients who will pay you for projects instead of hours. This will free you from the cubical life. At this moment I am creating this article for you in a park. The sun is shining and with just my smartphone I am able to create something that thousands of people can read an be inspired by with just a small bit of effort. The freedom of not being tied down by job let's me pursue things I want to do.

Now you might be asking how do I make money without a job? It's simple make a list of skills you have. Then I want you to go over to a site like Elance and start finding jobs that you have skills to bid on. The Elance site is one of many that connects freelance workers with clients. Once you find a job match and get the project you can work from anywhere in the world.

There is no limit if how much money you can make. A few years ago I created content for a web site while waiting to go up the Eiffel tower. 

When was the last time you made money standing in a line? Everyday people like me are enjoying life while living.

There are many methods of making money online. There are also many scams when dealing with people over the Internet be cautious. Once you find your a-ha moment take action and start moving towards the life you want.

If you feel that you might not be ready to try working for yourself full time then try it on your days off or after work. The moment you start working towards your goal of not living the 9 to 5 lifestyle you start to appreciate all the little things you are missing out on. Just as I was writing the last line a beautiful butterfly lands on my hand as I was typing on my smartphone. The amount of years I spent at a job and never did a butterfly land on my hand and inspired me the way this one did.
