Harvesting Wealth
Creating and Defending Multiple Streams of Income
If you had been placed in virtually any other country at virtually any other point in time, your future would have probably been dictated to you. If you came from a family of farmers, you would have been a farmer. If you came from a family of scribes, you would have been a scribe. America's Founding Fathers had something else in mind. They set the course for a grand new experiment: the creation of a meritocracy; a country, as Benjamin Franklin so eloquently put it, "where the middling class can achieve success" just like the wealthy class.
According to a recent Gallup study, 51% of American workers aren't happy with their job. Another 16% are "actively disengaged," full of resentment for what they are doing and their place of employment. This is madness. Living with negative emotions with respect to where we spend so much of our time—and where we receive the income we need to pay the bills—is not part of a healthy, balanced life.
No matter who is to blame for our general malaise at work, there is one person responsible for changing our situation in life—the person we look at in the mirror each morning as we prepare for the daily grind. It simply doesn't need to be this way. We can change our situation by changing our circumstances. That is what the Harvesting Gold pillar is all about. No matter our age or where we find ourselves at the present moment, we need to uncover our passion and pursue it with a vengeance! Using the tools in this section, let's reinvent our professional selves, uncover our passion, and pursue it with a vengeance!
