At the start of my career in the employment industry, I worked primarily with attorneys who’d come from some of America’s top law firms, and who were seeking the highest-paying jobs at the best firms. In working with these individuals, many of whom held top credentials from prestigious law schools, I very quickly identified two types of people: (1) people who worked hard to get where they were, and who would continue to do so because of their work ethic, and (2) people who believed that, because of what they’d already achieved – admission to a top school, securing a job in a top law firm – they were owed success.

People fail far too often in the working world because they focus too much on the money they earn at their jobs. The money you are paid is generally commensurate with your contribution to something more important, more meaningful, and much larger than yourself. When you focus on what you are doing for the world and the value of this contribution, you become energized. Being energized by your work brings more and better work your way and ultimately leads to greater earnings. The money is a by-product of your contribution to your job. You generally will be paid at a rate matching your contribution to the bigger picture.

The small business sector has created more than 300, 000 jobs since last October, many times more than jobs created by all the industry majors put together. While traditional small businesses have continued to operate and grow despite adverse situations, there has been a spate of growth in the numbers of small businesses primarily due to former employees trying to strike out on their own for better or worse.

Fragile attempts at self-employment cannot be equated with the sound creation of jobs within organized business structures. However, that is what the proponents of the Small Business Jobs Act 2010 would have us believe.
