Blue Collar
Reading time: 2 – 4 minutes
What keeps most people from making money isn’t the idea. In fact most people have great ideas as I have heard some that make me question my own angle on making money! I’ve seen some of the smartest able bodied brothers with cash in their pocket and a glimmer in their eye not capitalize on it. I’ve chopped it up with cats who couldn’t count money have so much that he gave away all his money less than a twenty. I’ve had very intelligent cats know they got a money maker and then talk themselves out of it. All because they were scared of HARD WORK!
I swear most people are scared of how hard they will have to work to get money than the end of the world. If you ask someone what they are going to do when the end of days comes they will tell you they will be alright. If you tell someone we can make millions but we’ll have to dig a million ditches the same Sucker will say it’s not worth it. It’s really your average Sucker can’t connect WORK with PAY. They can’t see how all things MONEY require a lot of work. You have Suckers figuring out how much money they will make way before they open the doors and calling it forecasting like they can predict money. You have people trying to force money into their current life acting like making money is convenient.
Well let me let you in on the Secret to Success, Prepare and Accept that it will take Hard Work. What is that saying, prepare for the worst but expect the best; because you will probably work 10 times harder for 1 buck than you ever did before. Now the payoff is that once you start the machine the money will keep coming but it’s a Beeyotch to start the machine in the first place. So for all of you who are are scared of Hard Work, running a risk analysis and trying to fit money into your schedule keep being a Sucker. Even the ice cream man gets tired of scooping but you think making money is fun!
Bottom Line: Once you got the idea that’s like 5% of the solution 95% comes from Hard Work so don’t be afraid to put on the Blue Collar!

What’s sad is seeing people willing to work hard for someone else, but not themselves.
I tell anybody in my profession they are an idiot working 60 hours a week at a firm hoping to be partner in 10 years when they should have invested that kind of work hours in themselves.
I didn’t realize how powerful a $2,220 bi-weekly paycheck can hold so many talent hostage.
Chip$ keep a lot of people in line. That’s why you most of your entrepreneurs can’t come from high positions because they will not forgo their current income to make more. So they are stuck there for life or until we have another recession. I’m really disappointed with how many people are out of jobs and they haven’t come up with a million small businesses, instead they are all waiting on the economy to come back. It’s NUTS!
Most people are scared of sweat equity in their business. The fact that this marketing campaign might be a failure, the fact that you might argue with a customer for 1 hour but not get any money, the fact that you might pay money for copy toner only to find out later you could’ve paid 20 bucks less. There is a learning curve in all things Money but somehow people want to hit the ground running. They are scared of working hard for the hope of making it.
It’s almost as if people see “sweat equity” as demeaning. That’s actually the core of any endeavor. Only so many people can do the planning; someone actually has to do the work. If you’re willing to work, you’ll always be able to make some money.
I think you hit the nail on the head as people are just scared of working that hard and being unsure they will make money. I know for me I like to believe I can work hard but don’t know if I wasn’t seeing something come back would I just feel like I wasted my life. I know you want us to take a shot but it’s hard to get over the psychological effect of trying for something really hard and not knowing for sure it will pay off.
I have a friend who started a septic tank company in the desert
To many, it made no sense.
But he knew the area would grow and people needed to be able to flush their toilets.
He sold his once small company for $3.6mil (@ 24 years old) and started a porn company/strip club with some of the proceeds.
The thing is – no one else saw that there was money in owning a company that did shitty work.
@TrueMan – People don’t want to do the work or they never seen anyone really work hard. There is this perceived belief that once you have the idea that’s all it takes and I believe that’s why people fail when they start a business. They just make the best hamburgers but never thought of the long hours, the greasy floors and making sure they have the proper change in the registers.
@OTM – Well join the club! Everyone who starts a business doesn’t know if it’s going to work out even the franchises. They do as much research as they can, perfect their process, make sure they have a good supplier and pray a whole hell of a lot. Nothing great can come from not exerting a great effort it’s just the way of the world. The only CON they got that doesn’t follow this law is the Lottery and you see how many Suckers are lining up to get something from nothing!
@UBJ – Now is that a UBJ fable or the truth? Either way I think it was timely and appropriate because people don’t realize how many hours it takes to get the engine of your own Hustle to be a profit. The septic tank idea was genius and it’s not like a lot of people are lining up to suck shit out so it’s overall GENIUS!
I don’t how the cat went from Septic Tanks to Porn but I guess we all have unique dreams huh! LOL
No, it really happened.
The guy used to play poker at my crib and I’d mediate deals and beefs with his rival sets.
When he told us about his idea, we all thought he was talking shit – but after it panned out, we were all eating shit.
The porn business came about because he loved strip clubs.
After he made his little stack, he could do what he really wanted to do (meet and do a lot of trampy women).
Riverside was pretty much in the desert before LA and The OC became so expensive. He was just smart enough to beat the rush in development in the High Desert (before city services were provided) when we’d take the long drives to Vegas.
The thing is, he isn’t really thought of as a “Smart” guy – but he saw something and took the chance.
No, I remember when Pomona felt like it was hours away from Compton so I can understand how anyone who capitalized on the growth would have made out. I remember when all of that was nothing but desert and it felt like we were going to the San Bernadino mountains when I was a kid.
There’s always a deal somewhere for sure!
