Men, if you are looking to build real power, you must stop thinking about being an employee and having a job for decades. Instead, Own A Business!
I will tell you the nature of being an employee, without sugarcoating the bitter truth.
- You’re Expendable
Your boss doesn’t care about you. The company doesn’t care about you.
If you drop dead today, your position will be filled before your body is cold.
Your only loyalty should be to your own financial independence.
- Hard Work Alone Won’t Save You
Hard work is necessary but insufficient.
If hard work guaranteed wealth, construction workers would be billionaires.
You need leverage—skills, connections, and strategic thinking.
- Your Salary is Hush Money
A job pays you just enough to keep you from quitting but never enough to make you financially free.
If you don’t build your own thing, you’ll be trapped in that cycle forever.
- The Corporate Ladder is a Scam
You’re not climbing a ladder—you’re on a treadmill.
Promotions take years, and by the time you get there, the goalpost moves.
Most high-level positions are given to insiders, not hardworking outsiders.
- The Rich Don’t Work Like You Do
Wealthy people don’t trade time for money.
They make money work for them through businesses, investments, and ownership.
If you only rely on a paycheck, you’ll never escape the rat race.
- Loyalty is for Dogs
Being a “loyal employee” makes you an easy target.
Companies cut costs by firing the most obedient workers first because they assume you’ll take it without a fight.
Stay sharp, stay mobile, and always be ready to walk away.
- Your Degree is Not a Golden Ticket
A degree without real-world skills is just a piece of paper.
Companies hire skills and results, not academic achievements.
If you can’t solve problems, you’re useless.
- You Must Become an Asset
If you can’t make money, save money, or solve problems, you’re dead weight.
Employers value what you can do for them, not who you are.
If you’re not indispensable, you’re replaceable.
- Employment is a Means, Not an End
Your job should be a stepping stone to something greater—not a life sentence.
Use it to learn skills, network, and build capital, then move on.
- Men Who Rely on One Income Stream Are Weak
If your job is your only source of income, you’re one bad decision away from disaster.
Get side hustles, investments, and multiple income streams—or prepare to be a corporate slave forever.
The Solution? Become Your Own Man
Master skills, build businesses, make your money work for you, and escape the employment trap.
A job should be a stepping stone to power, not a prison sentence.
That’s the truth. Most won’t listen, but the few who do?
They’ll own the world.
