What is Rick Management and can you really manage risk, or are you simply managing your reaction to it?
Is Risk Management a MYTH? And is it higher in a 9-5 job? YES… in my opinion.
The reason I say that is the future is never really known. You really do not know if you will be alive in a year, or even tomorrow, or sad to say, in the next minute. But it is really not about “how much” risk you have in your lifestyle, but how you manage risk.
For many many years, we’ve all been “slave to the clock”, but when we started working for an hourly compensation, is when we lost our time freedom.
Here are some factors to consider.
Working a 40 hour work week job is actually much much more than 40 hours out of your life that you can never ever recover. You need to take in consideration your drive time to and from work in rush hour traffic. Also, the time it takes to wake up and get ready to go to work, which some people do not account for. Plus you need to consider most people do not get paid lunches, so that time is your personal time, but you can’t really go too far away from the headquarters, because you need to be back on time, or your superior will write you up.
Now let’s consider your future. Will you regret not spending more time at work? Or will you regret not spending your valued time with your friends, family and loved ones. Will you regret not having more free-time to enjoy your life, and do what you want when you want, where you want and with who you want?
I’m not trying to discourage you from working a job for an hourly rate (but maybe I actually am) Trading your time, knowledge and skills for money from your boss, is like selling your wisdom at a wholesale discount to your employer, so that they can re-sell your expertise and hard labor at a retail price for a significant mark-up and profit.
That’s a different way of looking at this, right?
Again, as I’ve mentioned before, if you have any questions or would like clarity on any of the topics I shared, please feel very welcome to contact me. — BRAD MagicBrad GUDIM
