EDITORIAL NOTE
TIMEOUT
I'm sick of hearing how everybody hates their job. How everyone's being cheated.
How nobody's over paid and under worked. Well. I say fuck you. It's your own damn
fault if you can't get your act together and make something of yourself. And blaming
the poor guy that was stupid enough to hire you to do the simple-assed job you're
probably doing now doesn't cut it.
It's you. You're to blame and only you. I don't care if you have a jobless lazy-assed
lover to keep or a family of nine to support, you're new in town, you're too old
to start a new job, you don't have any specialty skills or whatever.
If you're unhappy with your job or the money you're making, sit down and think
for a moment with whatever's left of your mind.
If you live in the free world you've got it made. Capitalism is the finest form
of government/system designed because if offers everybody ... yes, even your seemingly
talentless, worthless self a shot at making it big. And it can happen. But it
won't happen unless you get off your ass and do it.
I hear it all the time. Whimpering complaints. Like the answer is supposed to
fall from the sky if you cry hard enough. And worse than that are the assholes
who are working their butts off out there for twelve grand a year. and will for
the rest of their lives. who think that's the way of the world. You're morons.
You're losers. You're nobodies. And you're never going to amount to more than
a hill of shit until you make the change. And only you can do it. Only you can
make it happen.
If you're an entrepreneur at heart then you'll never be able to work for anyone
else and be happy. So figure out a way to do it on your own. Or in a partnership
that allows the best of each partner's talents to be most effectively exercised.
What is it you really want to do? That's step one. Finding out what it is that
makes you happy—or would make you happy if you were to do it.
Everyone wants to be a star. Everyone wants to be be rich. Everyone wants to be
better than everybody else and that's great. Great to the point that it gives
you the incentive. Now you just have to make the incentive a reality.
The key is confidence. You have to have the confidence in yourself. In your abilities.
Confidence in your mind and your decision making. The right decisions. You'd be
amazed how easy it can be to get whatever it is that you want by just having the
balls to go for it. To go in and take it. Take it because it's yours. You've earned
it.
Start something up. Create a business on your own. The true key to making whatever
it is that you do successful is to provide quality. Quality that does not exceed
the cost efficiency or effectiveness of your company. So pricing becomes a major
factor.
Never be cheap. Nobody trusts things that are too cheap. And you'll find more
customer complaints flying at you when you're a fickle and dime operation than
you will if you simply design and price your service or product sensibly.
The losers who get out there and try it on their own are the ones who try to undercut
all of the competition. In order to do it and get away with it the quality goes
down the chute. And after a very short period of time, so does the business.
People want quality and good pricing. And in that order. They'll pay more—and
not mind doing so—if its worth it. If your product has quality. If your
service is reliable.
It takes money to make money. So if you're broke, don't use that to excuse your
failure. There are countless financial institutions and individuals out there
more than willing to lend or invest. But you've got to get a business plan put
together that makes sense and offers the money man confidence in your abilities
to pull it off. To make it happen so they don't lose out. And they're not dummies.
Remember—they're the ones with the money, so they've already made it.
Cheer up. It's not as impossible as it may at times seem. Happiness in life is
true success. You can't have one without the other. So get out there and do what
it is that makes you happy and you'll make the success that you're after.
Good luck,
Casey Lee Klinger
Chairman of the Board
