Lesson #23 takes a lot of skill and I rate this a “Hard” on the Jobs difficulty scale. In order to pull this off, you may need to practice this at home before using it at the office. Being angry is the best way to make your boss and co-workers think you’re busy. I have spent 10hr days doing absolutely nothing yet seeming extremely productive using this very technique. The less you want to do the angrier you must act. One angry account executive at a bank in Nevada was so angry all the time he became the bank’s CEO in less than 6 months.

This technique is so difficult, I will write as I execute it and take you through step by step.

I’m in the middle of a training but I just have to write about this. I found this website, FranchiseMama.com. They allow you to look at different Franchises opportunities. Their slogan is “the cure for the common job.” This is the kind of website Tom Jobs will always fight against. Think about it, if everyone became an entrepreneur and opened their own business who would show up to work? Who would middle management interview to fill jobs? Who would they fire? Company layoffs would have to be called “no body works here anyway because everyone has their own business.” I strongly recommend that the FranchiseMama people rethink their website before it ruins our economy and destroys capitalism. If everyone followed their dreams who would fill americas’ cubicles, the modern day personal fortress. What would happen if pictures of spouses and sales awards no longer adorned millions of cubicle desks? Millions of photographers and trophy maker would go out of business. And divorce rates would sky rocket. FranchiseMama, you’ve been warned.
I’m available for speaking engagements and consulting offers.
