Never Get a "Real" Job: How to Dump Your Boss, Build a Business and Not Go Broke

Product Information

For people who already have traditional jobs, it's not too late to start a personal endeavor. "Just take a look around and see that [by working for someone else] you're putting all eggs into one basket that you don't own or hold," says Gerber. If you’re anything like most millennials, you probably expected to be handed you dream job. Then, when you got your real job, it turned out to be a disappointment — and it killed your entrepreneurial spirit, at that. Does putting yourself in a position where someone else can turn off all your income just by saying two words (“You’re fired”) sound like a safe and secure situation to you? Does having only one income stream honestly sound more secure than having 10?

Scott Gerber: Chief Executive, Author, Speaker, Community Builder

Scott challenges the social conventions behind the “real” job and empowers young people to take control of their lives and dump their nine-to-fives — or their quest to attain them. It’s funny that when people reach a certain age, such as after graduating college, they assume it’s time to go out and get a job. But like many things the masses do, just because everyone does it doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. In fact, if you’re reasonably intelligent, getting a job is one of the worst things you can do to support yourself. There are far better ways to make a living than selling yourself into indentured servitude. Scott Gerber is a sought-after speaker and CEO. He’s also the cofounder of the Community Company, an organization that nurtures professional membership communities for global brands. He is also a self-made, expert bootstrapper, hustler and author. His most recent book is 2018’s Superconnector: Stop Networking and Start Building Business Relationships that Matter. The typical mind-set is that starting a new business requires first a detailed, comprehensive business plan. The author argues that while this could be of help, you could focus instead on building your business. In a society that teaches us to strive to graduate from University and aspire to secure that white-collar 9-5 job, this book encourages us to strike out on our own.Who cares how many hours you work? Only a handful of people on this entire planet care how much time you spend at the office. Most of us won’t even notice whether you work 6 hours a week or 60. But if you have something of value to provide that matters to us, a number of us will be happy to pull out our wallets and pay you for it. We don’t care about your time — we only care enough to pay for the value we receive. Do you really care how long it took me to write this article? Would you pay me twice as much if it took me 6 hours vs. only 3? Free human beings think such rules and regulations are silly of course. The only policy they need is: “Be smart. Be nice. Do what you love. Have fun.” 10. Becoming a coward. Free human beings think such rules and regulations are silly of course. The only policy they need is: “Be smart. Be nice. Do what you love. Have fun.” 10. Becoming a coward Gerber is a fan of one paragraph startup plans. Anything longer is not necessary. "Stop thinking you have to write a business plan for investors or dense dissertations. You don't need a traditional plan to be a small business owner," Gerber says. All you really need is the courage to be yourself. Your real value is rooted in who you are, not what you do. The only thing you need actually do is express your real self to the world. You’ve been told all sort of lies as to why you can’t do that. But you’ll never know true happiness and fulfillment until you summon the courage to do it anyway.
