Many won’t argue with the fact that slavery ended over a century ago, but do you know that slavery has started again or ever really ended? Modern slavery is everywhere and is no longer decided by race, age, or religion. It’s a mental battle and these big corporations are winning.

I was trapped in this “modern slavery” just a few months ago at a “job” that I absolutely hated but couldn’t leave because I had to pay my bills. At least that was what worried me at the time. There is a saying that they pay you enough to survive and work for them, but not enough to live life and be happy. Many people are aware of this, but cannot and will not do anything about it due to 3 possible fears.

Scare of:

-not being able to pay the bills/take care of the family -failure -uncertainty.

I forgot one. The subconscious fear of being successful. This is the fear of hearing your friends tell you the worst phrase of your life; “Oh, you’ve changed.” People say they don’t care, but could you really handle that? Being successful is all about change because if you’re not successful, then you’re doing something wrong and it’s time to change.

okay; Now, before you accuse me of calling everyone a slave, I mean people, like me, who live paycheck to paycheck, hate their job, are very unhappy, etc. Do not misunderstand. There are janitors who are happy with their work. If they are happy, then I am happy for them that they have found their true calling.

I talk about real estate a lot because that is the real path to success for me and many others, but the real path to success is finding something that makes you happy.

One of my buyers on my list told me how he traded houses and passed the real estate exam with flying colors, but said real estate bored him. He later learned to fly planes and traveled the world. She is rich mentally, spiritually, financially and truly happy.

Now, before I was fired, many were worried about me. Those who were concerned really cared for me and I will always be grateful for that. They felt that I would probably lose myself without a job. Well, they didn’t know that the night I got fired, I felt like a free man and actually found happiness and a great sense of accomplishment just on my way to the car. I was grinning from ear to ear the whole way home because I knew this was the beginning of the rest of my life.

I had found something that I could make a lot of cash with and that could open more doors for me once I made enough money. That night, I felt like my chains had been lifted and I was no longer enslaved to that back-breaking night job that I had been trapped in for the past 2 years.

I hear some people talk and I really feel sorry for them. I see them in my old shoes but they don’t have the means or the courage to do what I did and try on a new pair of shoes. I bet you never heard it like that before… LOL. I don’t even know what to say half the time anyway, but they should try real estate. They often change the subject and I notice it every time. That makes me realize that not everyone was cut out to be a real estate investor, or a doctor, or a lawyer. This would be a messy world if everyone was a millionaire, wouldn’t it? However, it doesn’t mean you have to work hard and be broke all the time.

My case and point is that slavery still exists. A lot has been cleaned up with benefits, much more pay, vacation time, and 30 cent raises every year. It’s no longer a race problem, but a mental problem where anyone who feels they can’t do better will fall prey to these big corporations who will force them to do anything and everything they can for minimum wage, which is much better than the minimum. salary right? Do not.

Don’t let anyone but yourself tell you how valuable your time is. As soon as you get to the point where you can set the value, it’s time to make that change. To get to that point, I encourage you to read books. Acquire knowledge and wisdom.

Stop watching BET and read books like “Letters to a Young Brother: MANIFEST Your Destiny” by Hill Harper if you want to hear a brother keep it real from a man’s point of view.

Stop watching CNN and read Robert Kiyosaki’s “Rich Dad Poor Dad” if you really want to educate yourself on money. CNN and NBC might as well be called SHIT because that’s what most of the stuff they report on is. If you don’t believe me, investigate. That’s another history.

Do different exercises to strengthen your mind. Tell yourself each morning that you can do better than you did the day before. Success and happiness is in each of us. Sometimes it takes late bills to wake up the sleeping giant within you. In my case, a boss who treated me and my co-workers like CNN (CRAP) made me realize that he had to do better and I did.

I remember he used to try to make me say “I’m here to serve” to customers instead of saying thank you. It’s that kind of slave mentality that will have you chained for life. In a recent internet fight, I guess you could call him, he basically told me that my stupidity overshadowed my potential and that’s why I’m where I’m at right now. A question for you.

Mentally, spiritually, and very soon financially, how many people do you think want to be where I am? dennis_marshall
