A Job or a J.OB.?
Bosco has a job. His boss, Mr. Crabapple, seems to have
hemorrhoids everyday. When they kick up, old Crabapple gives all
his employees, well, grief!
Fang at the next desk at Bosco's job, thinks Bosco has lost his
mind. How dare any of Fang's friends think they could make
something of themselves! Working all day at work, then "working"
at home with that "home-based" stuff.
Bosco's job stands for "Just Over Broke". He has dreams of
sending his kids to college and taking a trip to Australia. Even
his wife thinks he's nuts. And Fang? Well, lets just say he's
doubtful of Bosco's sanity.
Who wouldn't want to be tied to a job? Of course, if the company
decides to downsize, your job is safe, right? Think again. Just
ask those folks at a certain company in the last month if their
job was safe.
Time off? Forget it if Mr. Crabapple's son wants the same days
off. Guess who's getting what time off? Not you, buddy boy!
Will Home-based Work Be Easier?
Yes and no.
Bosco has his job, and is working from home. He works 8 hours,
then comes home and spends several hours on his home-based
business. Fang thinks he is too busy.
Bosco knows his plan, and is working it. In a year or so, he can
replace his income at Crabapple Incorporated with his home
business. Then the commute will be about ten seconds. From the
bathroom to his computer and phone.
He will have paid his dues, and be able to watch little J.W.
while his wife is busy. He had worked it so his wife can stay
home with J.W. several months ago.
Will Bosco Succeed?
As pointed out before, Bosco has a plan. He plans in a year or
less to just have his home-based business and say good-bye to
old Crabapple. J.W. will have both parents at home. Is that
glimmer in Bosco's eye J.W.'S little sister?
Anyway, Fang does have a plan. But maybe not! Work for Crabapple
until retirement. A week off for vacation every year. Wages
determined by the bosses prejudices.
He lives for today. He doesn't realize that the average retiree
lives on 40% of what they made when they were working. Wow! What
a comedown, especially if he is unable to hold down a part-time
job after retirement.
Another reason Bosco will succeed is his correct use of his time
and resources. Home-based business owners need to have
discipline to use their time and money wisely. He will be way,
way ahead of the game in building his business.
Where Is Bosco 5 Years Later?
Been on his dream vacation to the Land Down Under. Now planning
his next trip to Oz. J.W. goes to a private grade school. And
Sissy is now a wiggling reality in Mama's arms.
Where is Fang? Still trapped in his dead-end job. His health
insurance from work nearly gone with his wife's illness. Not
very rosy.
