Being the Employee

Being the Employee

Being an employee is relatively easy, don’t you think? All you have to do is show up do as you’re told or what is expected and go home… But most people have it on there minds, “if I could just find the perfect job, things would be better” and you know, for some that is the case, but for most no. Day in and day out, you put up with co-workers complaining “there is always more month at the end of the money”, or complaining that your boss just doesn’t like you or is always on you.

 

And you know that complaining doesn’t do anything so you try to make concessions to try and get through it from day to day, and it never really works out, so you make do with what you have and never mind the rest.

 

I’ve been there and still am to a point, but have started reading more on mindset and how to get out of making concessions and taking responsibility for myself to become someone better, and own my own business and make my own hours.

 

The way out is to become the entrepreneur, and to do that you have to work at it, see what entrepreneurs do to better them, create wealth and give back. This way you become what you want in life instead of someone else defining it for you.

 

You will find once on this path you grow everyday, and believing in ones self is the most rewarding because you created it.

Dana Burton
(Visit Dana's Website) Well, it all started 46 years ago, in a small place, called Rivers, which is in Manitoba, Canada. It was an RCAF Station in WWII and was after the war. My father was a Corporal and was a Aero-Engine Technician working on the Lancaster bombers. We moved to Trenton, Ontario in 1966, where my father retired in 1975 from the Canadian Forces. Like any normal kid I got my high school diploma, working pumping gas for $2.10/hr. And about that time my father put me into the Royal Ontario Conservatory of Music to learn guitar, well that lasted about a year and an half and being young didn�t really care, but I did learn to play and read music. After high school I was going to college but got diverted by my friends to go and pick tobacco for 8 weeks, and saved a grand total of $1200 dollars. So, I went out west to Alberta and lived with my brother, and worked for $6/hr moving and cleaning appliances, needless to say, it didn�t work out and I came back to Ontario. Within a month of coming back I found myself in a cabinet making apprenticeship, making $7hr, and it continued for two years, when it changed again and I needed to do something different, so, I joined the Canadian Forces on my father�s suggestion, and got into Communications, and learned about computers etc, starting at $20k/year I did that for 6 years and it was quite the adventure, played a lot of sports, but mainly golf, broomball, and ball hockey, but again I just couldn�t do it anymore, so I got out and went back into cabinet making and carpentry making $10, but it was just too much work, long hours, and I was just married with a child, so after 2.5 years I joined the military for the second time and in the same trade in communications making about $35k/year. Over the next 8 years had two more children, got divorce, moved to Ottawa, and gathering lots training in computers, mainly email and networking, then finally making $45k/year. But yet again it got boring, so I left the military to get into the private business realm since the military just wasn�t working for me, and started at $48k/year. I�ve been in the IT industry ever since and to tell the truth, its niche for me because it come easy, and it make a descent wage, without having to work to hard. The only thing is I got divorced during my second military time and even though I have never been with out a job, I have just managed to make ends meet, and that�s it. Living from pay check to pay check, and once and a while being able to save, not much. Which brings me to the present day, I still have my job making $63k/year, and have been with the last company for 8 years, and my children are all in Ottawa, where I enjoy time with them and my friends, still playing guitar and mainly golf now.
