Work Can Be Fun

Work Can Be Fun
By Rick Ruiz

Work is fun when it is part of our mission, our quest. Work
however, loses some of its luster when it becomes part of the
routine with little long-term value. Residual income
opportunities have the ability however, to provide lasting
financial security and keep work fun!

It took me many years to understand a teaching of my parents
that "work is fun." It was a teaching that went well beyond my
childhood imaginings in both concept, and reality.

As I pursued a career, I had a mission and accomplishing this
mission became the quest. A game of persistence, tenacity and
ultimate achievement. There were certainly hard times but these
were blended with a mixture of fun times and moments of
exhilaration as the mission was accomplished.

What comes next though?

Is life a constant pursuit of one mission, only to achieve
another mission? This mindset can wear the soul down and limit
your ability to really "smell the flowers" and soak up the
sunrays. So, with our careers achieved... many settle into "the
routine." A time where the adrenalin rush subsides and a
relative constancy in life is achieved.

However, inflation keeps climbing... kids come, dinners are
more expensive, yearning to travel creeps in and the weekly
paycheck remains constant. Then... our belief system tells us
that the company owes us more for doing the same thing. A
feeling of being trapped settles in and the fun disappears.

The problem though is not in the career that we chose, not in
the company that provides our income... but the subdued reality
that we get paid for what we do today, and tomorrow we will get
paid for what we do then. If we want to pause, take a breather,
take an extended vacation, our income stops. We feel trapped,
there is no fun.

A few individuals have however, found a way to perform a task
today... work hard and do it well... and continue to be paid for
this very same task tomorrow, next week, the following month and
the coming year(s). These people are all around you and in this
type of work environment... you can really have some fun. After
all, isn't it nice to be on the beach, or relaxing in your own
backyard knowing that you are still reaping the fruits of your
past labor?

Actors, musicians, insurance agents, landlords and business
owners are just a few of these individuals. Now, the income
these individuals earn in the beginning is usually a modest sum
but as they persevere in their chosen field the earnings climb
AND these earnings compound what is already being earned from
past work. At some point in time, they have Multiple Streams of
Income (MSIs) that will outshine any standard routine job these
individuals have had as their Primary Source of Income (PSI).
This is when they may choose to remain in their current job...
because they have financial freedom (and security), they like
what they do and get satisfaction from their chosen tasks.

Some however, opt to take a year long sabbatical and think of
new ventures, some pursue the next challenge with greater vigor
and others find ways to help others; after all, Abraham Lincoln
once said... "you cannot help the poor by becoming one
yourself."

If you are looking for financial freedom, you should
contemplate supplementing your PSI with one, or more, MSIs. MSI
opportunities are many and most can be generated from the
comfort of your own home on a part-time basis. Do a search on
the Internet for passive income, residual income or home
business opportunities and become a small business owner.

With the right system, the right dedication and a sincere
passion for building financial security... you can become
independently wealthy. This combination of identifying proven
systems and putting a residual wealth building formula in place
means that you are working for yourself today, but you too will
soon start to see your labor bear fruit more, and more, as time
goes by. My parents were right... work is fun!
