I recently ran a social experiment on my small FB following. I ran across a meme that was very timely, it said-
""I got the Job"
234 Likes, 86 Comments
"I started my own biz"
6 likes, 3 comments"
On my wall, this meme got 16 likes, so people were looking at it and appreciated it.
It just so happened that in about a 2 week period I was going to be both accepting a job and launching a business. Even after telling my small group of friends this would happen, and many of them liking the meme the actual result-
"I got the job"- 36 likes (almost 50%)
"I started my own biz, here's a link to the site"- 6 likes
And of course, as many here have experienced, after tons of effort, the site itself is getting almost nothing either.
I said in another thread my lesson last year was I wished I'd started a business sooner. This is why.
That's because having a job = security. Safety.
Starting a new thing = scary, risky and foolish.
It will never work. You'll disrupt the yin and the yang of the universe.
Stay in the box.
