The 99% Need A Raise?

I saw the above statement on an online diagram this morning and it actually unnerved me. In talking to leads over the past couple of weeks, I've noticed that the American entrepreneurial spirit has diminished. No longer are people willing to take their ideas and turn them into reality such as Henry Ford and his T-Model. No longer as people willing to drop out of school to pursue a dream such as Zuckerberg of Facebook fame. Many industrialists that many admire are actually entrepreneurs. But with the economy in the toilet, many people are brainwashed into thinking that paycheck will carry them through. They don't think they can be the next "industrial tycoon".

Claiming the 99% need a raise is a misnomer. As soon as the minimum wage is raised, other basic commodities with rise as well due to the extra dollars in the market. This is inflation. Essentially, if a person making $7.25 an hour now has to work 30 minutes to buy a gallon of milk at $3.70, then if his wage is raised to $10 (along with everyone else) he will still have to work 30 minutes for a gallon of milk because the price has risen to $5 per gallon. If companies have to pay more in salary, then they must raise prices of their goods and services.

The only way the 99% can get a true raise is to start their own business. My son is 17 and was having a hard time finding a job. He started a landscape business, sells sodas at school and promoted local events for teenagers. I didn't have to give him any money this summer. Now he is looking at selling Jordans and Nikes online but that's another blog post!

"Find a niche and fill it". That is the mantra I have repeatedly told my son and the one I want to share with you. Does your opportunity SOLVE a person's problem? I'm not talking about the business opportunity within your system but the product itself? Are you capitalizing on solving your customer's problems? People spend $300 on a pair of shoes (whether Nikes or Louboutins) for a reason. Find out that reason and have people coming to you.

Someone earlier today stated I sell a Life Disruption Solution. I thought about it and here is what I came up with:

If you're in an accident and out of work, your life has been disrupted.

If you die from an accident, your family's life has been disrupted.

If you are stranded with a dead battery, your life has been disrupted.

If you are arrested due to a moving or non-moving violation, your life has been disrupted.

If you need prescriptions, your life has been disrupted.

People are in trouble today. They need help. You can provide some of that help by becoming an Independent Contractor with the Motor Club of America. There are over $150,000 worth of benefits to keep people covered in these difficult economic times.
