Are You Underprivileged?
I’ll let you in on a little secret. While the specific purpose of B-E-S-T is to show small business owners and entrepreneurs how to make more money, what I teach can be applied to improve other areas of your life.
Like I’ve written about in the past, it is important you’re balanced in all areas of your life, not just one. Those areas include health and fitness, career and money, relationships, and entertainment. If one area is not doing well, all others suffer. However, by far the top causes of stress in people’s lives are money related. If you’re not doing well in this area, it affects ALL other areas.
The broke idiots in the popular media would have you believe otherwise, have you believe that money is evil and if you make or have too much of it, you’re a bad person, obviously stealing from others. Whenever I read the news, this “money is evil” undercurrent runs through it, and quite frankly, I’m sick and tired of it.
One of the terms we’ve all come to hear
without a reaction i
“the under privileged” or
“less privileged”.
Think about it – that term when referring to “poor people” absolutely states that the reason these people are poor and others have money is because the people with money have been give more privileges. This is all just a part of the larger undercurrent and popular belief that the rich are somehow “lucky” or “stealing from the poor”. And frankly this notion is nothing but BS.
The real truth is, most people are poor because of the choices they have made.
Yes – I do recognize that there are people out there who, through no fault of their own, are in dire straits. It could be due to mental illness or injury. I do feel for these people and would agree that we – that is we as individuals and we as the government should help these people. But a lot of the people out there who are shown as the “down trodden” of our country are there because they have made bad choices – Not getting an education, or more importantly not learning the things one needs to make money. Staying in an abusive marriage far too long due to some society or religious notion that getting out sooner rather than later make both economic and practical sense.
We have multiple generations of people in this country who cannot read above the third grade level –Why? Because they’ve never believed that education had value.
Frankly, the only achievement we honor in this country is athletic and entertainment. It’s perfectly wonderful for some testosterone filled, uneducated clown to get paid multiple millions of dollars per year because they can throw a ball through a hoop or hit a ball with a bat. We love these overpaid achievers.
Or some low-life makes a record about killing cops and he makes millions. But the press and public don’t resent him. But, let someone like Donald Trump make it and untalented jackasses like Rosy goes out of their way to attack them, repeatedly. OR let some corporate CEO who saved a company from ruin make a big salary and bonus and the $40 per hour union bolt turners go nuts.
Here’s the real bottom line…
Making money is as scientific and formulaic as the day is long, and if you follow what works, you will eventually make as much as you want.
If you don’t you won’t – unless you’re an athlete, actor, music star or inherited it like Paris Hilton. (And what amazes me about idiots like Paris Hilton is the press loves her.) It’s the hard working rich the press and public seem to get worked up about.
It’s time to strike back at the fools in the media. That is one of the primary reasons I started the series of Dr Doug article a few years ago and why I decided to recently restart them. (That and a lot of people asking me to start writing again) I’m frankly sick and bloody tired of all the crap the media and members of congress dump on the American public.
What really scares me the most is that the majority of the American Voters consider themselves “under privileged”; and look at those with more money than they have as evil, scheming thieves – especially those horrible successful – business owners like you and me.
We are all nothing but greedy bastards. May we live long and prosper!
