Being the Man's Bitch

Getting *&^$.
Heading to one of my jobs.
The getting *&^% part will help slide through the first few hours.
Up and at 'em early again tomorrow to work on my next product venture.

In the meantime, being the man's bitch is a necessary evil.

But you must not think like an employee.
You must think like a manager.
B/c when you accept the fate of the worker bee, there can be no escape.
I do not sit beneath the table waiting for the man's scraps.
I'm spending almost every spare moment on my side projects/freelance work.

Assholes hope opportunities present themselves.
Assholes wait for opportunity to knock.

Make excuses or create opportunities.
Ask someone straight up for a chance.
Just a week to see if you are worth it.
Ask them for the opportunityu to prove your worth.

Still making money on the side in various means, but it's slow working those up to equal what I currently make in regular, gainful employment with benefits.

My plan is to be done working a conventional job inside of 3 years.
My portfolio of projects is filling up each week with each side job or freelance assignment I pick up.

I'm working on my various streams of revenue.
I've decided sleep will be sacrificed at my altar of success to appease the Gods of Labor-dom.

You can only choose 2 of the following: Sleep, Success, Hobbies.
I'm not giving up training....so that leaves sleep to be the sacrificial lamb.
I find that after a week of 12 hour days and training, the odd morning of sleeping late is a miraculous feeling to behold.

When I get off work, I'll eat dinner, get some freelance work done and work on my own side/independent venture.
Fuck sleep.

  1. As Nas once said: "I don't sleep, 'cause sleep is the cousin of Death"

    Fuck, I currently love my sleep too much.
