Ever wonder how people end up in dead end jobs at 40?
GOLD!I've got a bit of reading to do, but again, that's why I came here. And thank you for the discussion and the $$$ Funny thing, when I woke up at (about 2:00 am) and read your post about 70% of employees being unhappy, I was feeling a tad defensive and was all set to throw down some cranky. But...- Nicko

Ever wonder how people end up in dead end jobs at 40?
GOLD!Well, you will be adding me to that list above soon enough. There'll be another bleary eyed schmuck (just like me) finally making the connection, and you'll be telling him: @Nicko last spotted running through the streets of Paris with no pants on, but damn, he's happy !!- Nicko

Ever wonder how people end up in dead end jobs at 40?
GOLD!Absolutely. I have to say one of the things that resonated with me the most from the Millionaire Fastlane was the realisation I was investing 5 or 6 days a week of my time for a 1 or 2 day return. Hearing that (audiobook) was like a huge kick in the nuts. So I'm currently working towards...- Nicko

Ever wonder how people end up in dead end jobs at 40?
GOLD!I have the first three points well and truly covered. It's the last two I tend to struggle with. I've made myself somewhat indispensable which I'm working towards changing now. And that includes automating and outsourcing. It's one of the main reasons I'm here. I want to free up my time to...- Nicko

Ever wonder how people end up in dead end jobs at 40?
GOLD!TBH, I've never really understood that mentality. I worked for years as an SAP consultant in Europe and we were all paid ridiculous contract rates. My boss (who had a stable of at least 50 of us working for him) came to Frankfurt to take me to dinner (he actually came to race his car at the...- Nicko

Ever wonder how people end up in dead end jobs at 40?
GOLD!It's 3:00am on this side of the world but I had to get up and discuss this one further. As a business owner (and in all modesty, a very nice guy), what's the solution then? if you're going to have a business that has a human resources element then is it not better to look after that resource ?- Nicko

Ever wonder how people end up in dead end jobs at 40?
GOLD!If you have any kind of business success, one very simple but extremely important way to 'give back' is to look after your employees. It's great to create a business and turn a profit but not at the expense of other people's happiness. I would be utterly miserable myself if one of my employees...- Nicko

Should I keep watching TV?
HOT! MINDSETI've always had a bit of a Homer Simpson relationship with television . . . . "Teacher, mother, secret lover" . . . . as soon as I got home from work, the idiot box went on and stayed on until I went to bed. But a few months ago I started to make a change. You know things are bad when there is...- Nicko

I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!
GOLD! HOT!Read it, loved it, and that's why I'm here. One of the points that really resonated with me was the realisation that investing 5 days a week for a 2 day weekend return was a really poor investment. And for me, it's more like a 6 days for 1 which is even worse. Planning to change all that, so...- Nicko
