Should you really remain a company employee for the rest of your life? 5 different ways to make money and think about your life

Thank you for reading my blog.

Some of you may be thinking,

“It’s hard to live as a company employee for the rest of my life.”

“I want to know how to make money other than as a office worker.”

Working as an office worker or employee is stressful and hard. I think there are many people who would like to live their lives the way they want to.

Today, working for a company is no longer the only way to earn money. There are many options.

If you don’t want to be a company employee or if you are not satisfied with your current situation, you should first know what earning options are available to you.

And in considering how to earn money, you need to think carefully about the kind of life you want to lead.

Let’s review the five different ways of earning money.

Five different ways to make money

The five different ways to earn money are as follows.

1. Employee/worker (E)
2. Self-employed (S)
3. Business Owner (B)
4. Investor (I)
5. Combined (M)

1.Employee/worker (E)

These are the type of people whose main source of income is their salary.

Salaried workers also fall into this type, and most people probably earn their money this way.

2.Self-employed (S)

This type of person is the one whose employer is you.

Restaurant owners, freelancers, YouTubers, etc. who run their own stores also fall into this type.

3.Business Owner (B)

A business owner is a person who owns a business, such as a company.

The owner of a chain of beauty salons or the president of a company he founded is also a business owner.

The difference between a self-employed person and a business owner is that the business is established by hiring people without the need to be in the workplace themselves.

In other words, they are people who have a system that allows them to generate money without having to work themselves.

4.Investor (I)

It refers to people who profit from investing in stocks, real estate, businesses, etc.

In other words, people who generate money with money.

5.Combined (M)

These days, many companies encourage people to have a second job.

More and more people are earning income from two sources: their main job as a salaried employee and a personal side job.

In other words, this is the “E-type” x “S-type” way of earning.

In this way, there is an increase in the number of earners who place themselves in more than one type of earning method and pluralize their income sources.

Other ways to combine multiple ways of earning are as follows.

• E×I type: A type of earning that invests in stocks and real estate while working as a salaried worker.
• E x S x I type: A type of earning that earns money by working a side job while working as a salaried worker and investing the income from both jobs.
• B×I type: A type of earning by investing while managing a company as a business owner.

So far, we have summarized five different ways to earn money.

So how do you decide which is the best way to earn money for you?

Let’s find out in the following part.

Decide how you want to make money based on the kind of life you want to lead.

Nowadays, diverse ways of working are possible, and the “M-type” way of working is becoming more and more common.

Now that you have more options for working, what kind of money earning style would you like to have?

Or, do you think you have no choice but to live as an “E-type” even though you hate your job or company?

As mentioned above, that is not true at all.

Depending on what kind of life you want to lead and how you want to live, you can change the way you earn money.

Of course, no side job, business, or investment will work out for you from the start.

But if you give up because of that, you will not be able to live the life you want to live, and you will end up living a life where you have to keep going to a company you hate until you die in order to survive.

Thinking about how to earn money is thinking about your life.

Think first about what kind of life you want to lead, and then think about what kind of earning you should do to achieve it.

It is important to think about how to live first, not how to earn money.

For example, if you think that living comfortably in the countryside is ideal, you can work hard in the city for 10 years as an “M-type” earner (company employee, side job, and investment), and then move to the countryside and live a leisurely life with a side job and investment.

In this day and age, the types of earning methods and jobs are unlimited.

Let’s make your life such that you can adjust your way of earning according to your ideal way of life and the way you live each phase of your life.

Just thinking about it is very exciting and makes for a very good life, don’t you think?

You only live once. Let’s make it such an exciting one.

–Postscript–

In this issue, we have told you about five different ways to make money.

In this day and age when there are so many different ways to make money, it is not always necessary to do something you don’t want to do anymore to keep earning money.

It is said that one of the regrets many people have when they die is that they should not have worked so hard.

Perhaps it is because they endured and continued to do work they did not like and were unable to do the things they thought were really important.

Money is necessary for survival. However, we should not lose sight of what is truly important.

Now that you can work in a variety of ways, ask yourself what is really important to you.

The moment you have an answer to that question, your true life will begin.

I would like to conclude with a few words from Hannibal.

I will either find a way or make one.

Thank you again for reading to the end of this issue.

See you in my next post!
