The question “What do you do?” is seemingly straightforward, but it can be challenging to answer given the nuanced understanding of Work, Career, and Money.
We were all fed a lie. From childhood, we were taught to believe that we should follow the conventional career path of working long hours with the hope of receiving a steady paycheck. The key to success was to arrive at the office early, leave late, and even work on weekends, all for the chance of a raise someday. Who made up this rule that our time should be traded for money? It’s society’s biggest hoax.
How do we think accurately about our Money? Where do we tend to not think accurately and why does it matter? Money is the value of our help in the marketplace. Money includes currency (cash), equity, highly specialized skill, and other valuable forms of exchange that allow us the opportunity to transact in the marketplace. The more money we have, the more options, opportunities, and autonomy we enjoy.
