My simple answer to this question is, "Because many of us are not yet proficient enough not to."

We have to generate income somehow...and for most of us, that means employment. A very high percentage of the entire workforce are disengaged with their jobs. With no end in sight and stuck in positions out of sheer necessity (wage slavery) give the average employee a sense of dependence and despondency. Bleak as all this is, you can begin now to change it.

How Do I Make Money Work for Me?

This comes with the right kind of education, commitment and tenacity. There is a right way to do this, and there is a wrong way. Adeptness to do this incorrectly in the early stages of the game come from lack of patience and the inability to delay gratification. This can lead to disastrous results!

Very often we hear the concept of "Firing your Boss." It's a novel idea, and some of us have even gone so far as to quit our job and delve into Internet marketing. We get that great sense of freedom not having to get up in the morning at the whim of an alarm clock, the hustle and bustle of the daily commute and then the job itself.

I've done this...and initially, it felt like the whole world had been lifted off my shoulders! Albeit this is short-lived! Over confident that Internet marketing is going to work for us in a week, two weeks, what have you, we find very quickly that well... in spite of our aspirations, the process of gaining mastery usually outlasts our need of having to come up with money to pay the bills. Whilst some have done this and succeeded pulled it off, for many of us, it isn't a wise choice to quit our jobs too early.

Learn from my experience... Leaving the employment world too early will counteract your desire to live life on your own terms. It led to so much stress that it interfered very badly with my performance even though I had all the time in the world! It is VERY important you stay in your job until you are ready. You will actually get more done!
