If you run a business, manage a business, or work within a business in any capacity using systems effectively and consistently can make your organization and your life much more productive and efficient. More enjoyable too. Ever heard the story of McDonald's ? The most fascinating thing about it is NOT its food at all... but rather the system behind how the food is made. The system about how critical operations are handled. The system for quality and uniformity - how one is just like the next and the customer in return comes to count on that experience and trust it from one to the next to the next. Ray Kroc was something else... a milkshake machine salesman with big ideas. His version of franchising was based on a system too. He realized what worked and what didn't early on and that the only way the McDonald's empire he envisioned could actually grow into reality instead of just his crazy idea was if the system he envisioned was enforced uniformly and included every single restaurant. People thought he was crazy. Turns out he was right and their opinions didn't really matter at all. There is a lesson in that too. What matters is not anyone elses opinions - but only whether something is true or not, and whether a given thing actually works or whether it won't. That's what matters in the end. Systems work. He got it. Because he got it he was able to build an empire that practically every human being on the planet is intimately familiar with or at least has heard of - all from little more than just key ideas. You can tap into the same power and use systems to improve your life in every way too.
Too many people quit soon after getting started in truck driving - in large part because they expect much more pay then they get when just starting out. Over time pay does go up and it is possible to earn a very good living as a professional truck driver - if you know what you are doing and after you gain some experience.
But the usual expectation do not often match the hard reality of what awaits most unsuspecting new drivers.
When you combine this harsh reality with the other stresses of getting started in trucking - for many it is too much so they quit.
If the shock of much lower than expected pay doesn't do them in then the failure to get home as much as they were counting on usually finishes them off.
The end result is the same - they quit.
It doesn't have to be like that for you!
Learn what you need to know before you start your new adventure in trucking and greatly improve your chances of success!
Truck Driving As A Career
Trucking offers great opportunities and a great way to earn a living - if you know what you are doing.
That's the problem for too many people who attempt to start new careers as truck drivers each year - they do not have enough information before they head off to truck driving school and before they start their first job at a trucking company.
Others have the wrong information from sources that either have their own agendas that are not in the best interest of the driver - or they simply do not have competent relevant information to provide to start with.
Either way hopeful new truck drivers enter the trucking industry misinformed and have unrealistic expectation of what life as a trucker really is like, and as a result they usually do not survive more than a few hard months if they last that long - before they quit.
They go home angry, disillusioned and broker than they were before they started.
The fact is that trucking can be an excellent well paying career for a lot of people - but it is not for everyone.
Even if it is for you - there is much to learn even before you start and more to learn along the way if you want to be successful.
In future episodes I will cover more details but this episode will give you a good idea of why so many people don't last long in trucking - and how you can avoid becoming one of those who fail.
Find out what you need to know to help you decide if trucking is for you or not - and if it is, learn how you can build a successful career and a better life!
When the same old same old doesn't work - then perhaps its's time to consider doing something different.
This episode is about something much different.
Using Tiny Houses and other things that can be lived in or aboard long enough to make serious progress at getting out from under debt - especially the biggest debts most people have - their rent or mortgage payments and car payments.
Get rid of the mortgage or rent by getting rid of the house or apartment and choosing to live temporarily in something that can be owned paid for in full from day one.
Use the freed up cash to either pay off the car or buy a good used car that you can afford and eliminate those car payments forever.
This is NOT for everyone - but if you are sick and tired of the rat race then you might just want to consider this!
