Be Mind employed

Introduction
Spending all your time in other's opinions instead of building yours? Is your energy and effort spent minding
other people’s concerns?
I am not referring here to gossiping, rumour
mongering or any such vice. I am referring to that
thing that makes  people
get up early in the morning, to leave their families and
their homes and make a race through
traffic like it’s the end of the world.
That thing is what I call work. Specifically, it is also
employment. Whether in the formal or informal
sector it is the necesary activity in many of our
lives throughout the world. It is a bad disease for
most of us because deep down we would rather not
be working for anyone else, but somehow we
accept that working is the best.
Once we are opportune to work at a particular firm or the likes and how salary is paid consistently
we feel relieved, though only for a little while, that
we have our needs met. After a short while the waiting starts all over again. We have to endure
the rest of the month until the next  salary.
 We have become
slaves to our salaries. “Making a living” is killing us.
It should be making our lives better. Entrepreneurial
motivation - who are you working for?
When you go to work everyday, whose purpose are
you fulfilling? It is the purpose of the company or
organization you are working for. You are employed
to help your organization achieve its objectives. If
someone else took over your position they would
still do the same things you do in order to achieve
the organization’s objectives.
If you are working for an individual the same
reasoning applies. You are working to fulfill the
purpose given to you by that individual. In both
cases you are minding someone else’s business.
Entrepreneurial motivation - you are not what you
do
However the situation gets more complex: many of
us have been led into the belief that the
organisation’s purpose is our own purpose. We
whole-heartedly take up the cause of the
organisation as our own. Our thoughts and ideals
slowly but surely come to be replaced by those of
our workplace. We become the perfect employees.
What’s wrong with that? Everything. You are not
what you do. Your work is not who you are.
Unfortunately, our education system hasn’t helped
in this regard. It has trained us to become what we
study. If you study law you become a lawyer,
studying auto mechanics makes you a mechanic
and studying cooking makes you a cook.
“The mistake in becoming what you study is that
too many people forget to be mind employed.
They spend their lives minding someone else’s
business and making that person rich.” An adaptation of Robert Kiyosaki's wise word author of Rich
Dad Poor Dad.

Entrepreneurial motivation - minding other people's
business
When you mind someone else’s business they may
be achieving their objectives, but you are definitely
not. It doesn’t matter how big your salary is. The
fact is your boss or the owner of the business will
always make more money than you. Why not mind
your own business and make your own fortune?
Don’t get me wrong. There is a lot of value in
working for someone else: if you know why
you are working there. It should not be, as
most of us think, simply to be able to get a
salary. Neither should it be your sole purpose
in life. Working for someone else should fulfill
three main objectives:
Entrepreneurial motivation - work to develop
yourself
Firstly, it should be a way of learning and
getting more knowledge and skills. People
that work simply for the purpose of getting
paid are often not the most productive people.
It is those that realise the value that working is
adding to their knowledge and skills as individuals
that always perform better and that are always
ready for the next challenge.
Such people know that what they will get from their
job will ultimately help them to mind their own
business by equipping them with what they need
mentally to be able to fulfill their own purpose.
Entrepreneurial motivation - work to invest
