What NOT to do in your life

Admittedly: working for someone other than yourself is what not to do in life. When you are working for someone else you are dedicating your time and energy to building another entrepreneur's dream.When you are building their dream you are not focusing on your own dream as much as you want to be or should be.Here is a principle that I understand '40/40/40 rule'. Why would you want to work 40 hours a week, for 40 years, and because of inflation, your savings at the end of those 40 years are worth 40% less? Why would you want to work for someone else at the expense of your own desires and dreams?With the right kind of marketing and entrepreneurship knowledge, you can make your dreams and talents a profitable business. If you are talented and have a passion you can make it profitable. There is money to be made in everything- including arts.Years ago when I was trying to get into the games industry, I read an article about Gabe Newell, who is a founder of one of the biggest games companies. In this article he talked about how to get a job in the games industry and his answer (which probably was one of the igniting sparks that spurred me to be become an entrepreneur) was: 'give yourself a job'. Which meant: find a way to make your own skills marketable and create the games that you want to make and see in the world.I say an old fiend recently and they made the comment that "I had become all entrepreneurial", and I replied "I realised that between working for myself or for someone else, I'd prefer to work for myself".In this world of endless opportunities, why would you want to work for someone else? It is called the 'golden handcuffs', where you get an income, but you have to spend up to 80% of your time there.Become the person you want to be, that is what you should do with your life.Lastly, you can see some of the mistakes you need to avoidhere.
