Okay I have a question. This question may be thoroughly confusing but I hope you understand it. Entrepreneurs will say constantly that you should be hungry for as much money as possible but also say that the number 1 thing you should thrive for is freedom (i.e. freedom of your geographical location, free to eat what you want, yada yada)
My question is let’s say there is a certain amount you will inevitably profit either running a POS business or working a high paying corporate job and you know that that fixed amount will make you more than any entrepreneurial endeavour you could have online, what percentage of the that should that percentage be what you’d make with your online entrepreneurial endeavours would be just too low where taking the route that will pay you more will be the better alternative?
On one hand, it would be nice to make money remotely, that way I ALWAYS have control over my geographical location but at the same time, I wouldn’t mind working in a box temporarily but working my ass off that way I can retire earlier and enjoy the spoils of my income.
This is exactly what I see on this sub. People claim to want something but do things that don’t align with what they claim they want.
I think everyone wants status in some way or another. No one aspires to be below average. Better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond.
You’ll be happier earning $100k in a community where most earn half that than earning $200k where everyone else is earing $500k. In the later case, you’ll feel like a loser.
We all compare oursleves to others around us. That’s why average Americans complain about income inequality despite them being among the richest people in the world.
