There also needs to be a desire to be this person who works hard and reaps the reward, climbing to the top of the success ladder. I guess I'm one of them - oh I got the highest qualifications for my trade, owned my own business, but I have never run after money, or position. I have flipped through a lot of jobs, always for experience, never for the money or promotion. Through overtime, shifts or bonus schemes I've doubled my 40 hr income, I'm not a lazy no hoper, just someone happy with what they do and a modest income covers all my needs.
But I'm still working a 40 hour week at 70. Actually I'm living the dream, I have a real job where I do real work and am the only reason the business if still running. I know what sort of jobs guys my age get - the old fulla, sweeps the floor, does errands etc. My boss fits the work hard and get rich model - he can't stop working to make money. It's sad he can't see it has ruined his life, he has enough to retire and enjoy a fun life, but he is so driven...he just keeps trying to make the money.
A glimpse of my working life, a couple of things I was fixing a few weeks ago.
