Fired Temp Worker Gets Revenge!
Temping ain’t easy.

You work for minimum wage. Get the worse job assignments in the company. And, you can be replaced without justification at a moment’s notice.

In three years of temping, I did not accrue a minute of vacation time, or a dime’s worth of medical insurance. I shoveled cattle feed in the morning and its inevitable by-product in the evening, cleaned toxic waste filters the full-time employees wouldn’t touch, and chased bats from an attic that I honestly believe was haunted by a betrayed mistress. Like I said, temping ain’t easy.

But it was work. Honest work that put food on the table and paid the rent. And that’s about all it did.

Have you ever heard the expression, “living paycheck to paycheck?” During those three years I was the poster boy for living paycheck to paycheck. I don’t mean to bad mouth the entire temp industry. Temporary service agencies provide a valuable service for both employers and job hunters, and I’ve heard that some even offer bennies. But I don’t believe it was meant to serve as a long-term solution for anybody with an ounce of ambition.

To make a dreadfully long story short, I eventually got fed up with the nonsense and told one of my temp bosses what I thought of him and his haunted attic. Two minutes later I was being escorted off the property by a security guard—a temp worker himself if I remember correctly.

So after six years in fast food and three years in the temp business, it finally began to dawn on me that making the same mistakes over and over was not only proof of my thick skulled mentality, it was also proof that you cannot get ahead working to help somebody else achieve his or her goals.

Lately I have learned three important lessons from people like Robert Kiyosaki, Suze Orman, and David Bach. While each of these writers is unique, they all basically say the same thing:

1. Learn to spend less than you earn.
2. Buy appreciable assets that produce a positive cash flow.
3. And, find a way to create multiple streams of income.

One of the best ways I know of to achieve these three points is to own and operate your own business. Now this isn’t rocket science, and it doesn’t take the Bank of Switzerland, or an SBA loan for that matter, to get started. All it takes is a little initiative, sprinkled with a healthy dose of persistence, patience, and promotion. Take it from me, a small business gives you the ability to make money, build a residual income, and perhaps create wealth.

So, what was my revenge? Success. I left the temp business and started my own home-based business. Now I do the hiring and firing. Su-weet.
