Dig Your Own Well
|
| |
We have been taught to get a good education and get a good job working to build someone else's business. The problem is this you only get paid when you work or produce sales, and the business owner decides what your time is worth. This is like an Ethiopian woman who carries an empty jar on her head and walks to a river and returns with a jar full of water which is gone the next day. This is the way most people live working for someone else, living from pay check to pay check.
If at the end of her trip each day she would spend 1 hour digging a well she will eventually hit water and will not have to make the trip every day for her water and she can sell water to others in her village. She has built an asset to produce income she does not have to work for.
She has built a business.
