Extreme Jobs

After spending over 10 years in Law Enforcement. I can identify with being available to the public 24 hours a day. Too bad the pay did not equate with that.

I'm not sure if I've only worked 60 hours in a week for the last 10+ years. I've held a couple of jobs over this period, putting in the daily 9 to 5 but my day never ended when I left work. On a daily basis and during the weekends I would continue my efforts for my employers at home on my computer here. The biggest mistake these employers made was to not fairly compensate my work, and thus lost my talent and drive as being a part of their company. As well I've been an entrepreneur the majority of my life, only filling in slow times with the occasional employment, but had one of these employers considered the value they were getting, very possibly I would have never left the position. For the last 5 1/2 months I would estimate my weekly average is 95+ hours per week. Will it pay off ? Well after only a month of launching of a partial product, the growth has been continual, so in time to come, yes I can pronounce that the long days and weekends programming will be well compensated. But it just reinforces the fact,,, work like a dog to make someone else rich, and they will become rich, not you. Work for yourself with drive and determination, and your riches will come.

Observation:

Many people have to work hard and work long hours. Those in the lower class often take on a second job just to make ends meet. And those in the upper class often work hours that require a lot of time. My father is a surgeon and works very long hours. My background is audio engineering and guess what? . . . for most audio engineers we work long hours - and in many cases under tight deadlines - and typically make middle class wages . . . so what's the lesson? . . . if you're going to work long hours and work hard you might want to do something you love doing. And then the work won't even seem like "work"; You'll be having fun and earning money. And because you're having fun you could be doing it all day. Naturally because you love doing it, you'll also be more likely to have an advantage over your peers who happen to be in the same field that you are in for the sake of a "job."

At first I dig, deep deep down, within, I found it, I caught the vision.Then, I roll it, more and more, produce it, more and more, now I emante it 24/ 7.The strongest power comes with the vision.Then, You are unstopable. In front of Your eyes is a vision, no time no space, just being, doing, giving.
Receiving, doing, being. You are a termal reactor :-) You could light up all planet!

Great look, I like it! Very professional.

I work my ass off.

You can't even begin to think you believe you know what that feeling is like. There. There, how do you like that.

And that, and that, and that too.

Work for the man? there are two people in this world the boss and the worker. I am amazed that people are actually posting on here about working a job. In the eyes of Mr. Trump and his own words, "lets get out of the box". Why are so many of us scared to get out of the box? Jump up, grab the edge of the box and start being a leader and be the one who gets the rewards. I used to have an extreme job, I was in the military working a ton of hours for very little pay, the reward was defending our great nation. Now that I am out I own a screenprinting and embroidery business and everyday MY EMPLOYEES make me money....that is what Mr. Trump is trying to get through to you all.

So, WAKE UP and get out of the BOX!

Here's something to ponder: most people in the public education profession work about 183 days a year. Most people in the private sector work about 240 days a year. Most people in the public sector, well, we're not sure how many if any.

As a self employed sole proprieter I work well over 300 days a year. All the while with a bad shoulder from a torn rotator, a bad back with three prolapsed disks, a rupture, digenerative disks, arthritis, bone spurs etc. etc. etc.

A strong work ethic is key to many successes!

Mr. Trump:
I wondered if you believe in the universal law of attraction and if you practice it? If so, would you elaborate.

Thanks

What is a "blog moderator?" Do you get paid extra for that?

This site is sooooooooooooooo boring. It's almost old fashioned already.

Oh well, have a good day anyway.

Mr. Trump,
I feel compelled to leave my "two cents" here. Some of the replies now infiltrating this site are just left by the usual forum runners that have nothing better to do than display their wisdom on such posts. This, of course, is a good thing; it means you draw a crowd. Others just complain about them. I must say that i to wish to vent about my story a bit. One poster complained that those posting here should be living your values, not telling tall stories about how many hours they toil. Well the entire idea here is to educate those people, so inevitably they are the target audience and are welcome here; I also fit that category. Real briefly here, I have been a retail manager for nearly fifteen years. It started when I was sixteen, cooking for a gourmet restaurant. From there I have managed a 24 hour restaurant franchise chain more than 70 hours per week while in college studying business management and economics. The whole time, thinking I was utilizing my education well. Let me tell you; the hours, the third shift, the lack of dedicated employees....these all tolled on my grades. I met my wife there. I thought I was in love. That place killed our relationship before it started. She graduated with a sports medicine degree and never used her knowledge. After ten years of being together, struggling, and fighting, I am now recently divorced and left with nothing. Retail ate us alive, however much of it was personal problems that have taught me great lessons. In the mean time, I have managed a clothing store for a major brand, I've been a Technology sales manager, and I am currently a store manager for one of the most popular Electronic companies on the planet.. All the while putting in brutal retail and holiday hours, missing every wedding, every birthday, every event and losing touch with every person I know.
Now I have read many Trump, Robert Kiyosaki, John Maxwell, Bach and other great books. My mind has evolved. I have always been able to manage a thirty million dollar business (or much more). In fact it bores me. I have passed up promotions because I am not passionate about this life style and I would feel guilty taking the position without knowing I would put full force into it. I enjoy your success Mr. Trump. I hope to become you on any scale. I also hope one day to give like you. I love to help people. Real estate, buildings, architecture, and design are definately things Im passionate about. I have decided to sell my house, downgrade my lifestyle so I can actually afford to make good decisions, like buy a rental building, take a commissioned job, or start another business. I have started a couple before and failed, but I have also been surrounded by negative, unwilling people. Mr. Trump I applied to your company, hoping to work in Chicago, my home, but got the classic letter of denial in a week. I would love to be surrounded by an institution that can actually teach and challenge me. My resume is not perfect, I'll admit, and I dont have MBA's or Law degress but at thirty two years old, a divorce, a wiped out retirement account and one rooms worth of furniture, I dont see a value in over six figures worth of school debt. I do however see the potential in releasing my passions and desires to elevate myself to the top. Tonight on The Apprentice, I was so disappointed by Michelle resigning. It just makes no sense. This was a huge opportunity for her or anyone else that made it that far. Why would she just throw it away? It made me realize how much more talented I am than the folks that manage to make it on this show. My level of common sense walks miles over their degrees. Now its time to use it.
I hope that your organization, Trump U, the readers, and anyone else may help guide me. View my resume, give me feedback; Im open to all comments. www.kozadesign.com. I would love to come work for you, but if

Donald,
If you want the big bucks.
If you want success.
You have to put in the time.
Love what you do and the hours won't really matter.
You know Donald I never really cared for consultants.
Not sure why, just don't.
Maybe haven't met the right one.
If you love what you do.
Live it.
Eat it.
Breath it.
And find someone to marry who does too.
Go find something you love people.
Grab hold and don't let go.
If you're in a dead end situation.......LEAVE

P.S. This may be a dup. It seems I lost the connection earlier. Oh well, onward..
P. P.S. I loved the show. I loved the boardroom.

There is a flip side to working long hours and earning good money..
the loss of time. Time to spend with your family and loved ones, time to take off and pursue your hobbies and dreams. Raise your hand if you have have missed their child's sports event or play because they coudn't "find" the time. More likely you didn't make the time.

There needs to be a balance between home and work. Time can never be recaptured.

Start that balance today. Don't wait untill retirement to say I should have done that or I wish I had done that.

Extreme Jobs??? I fit into that. Interesting enough I work 84+ hours, seven days a week with two weeks off every four months. I absolutely LOVE my job and my income. I am a 26 Year old Female from California making over 6 figures a year, I have all the freedom in the world and I just can’t find the adrenaline rush that I get from working this job anywhere else. I work in Iraq supporting the Military in a Combat Zone. I get paid because of the hours I work at Straight time with specific Uplifts. If I could find a job that pays this well in the states with as many hours I would go back home, but until Donald wants me on his team as a Dedicated Employee I am staying out here where I can feel what it is like to actually live.

Always Loving My Boi *FLiP*

Lets not overlook extreme lifestyles. My point is that some who don't have jobs requiring those hours are still productively involved in activities for equivalent hours. Not all of these activities pay in the form of money, for example, taking additional coursework, or volunteering. I have found it is easiest to be high performance when I am offered a variety of activities rather than just one repetitive task. By switching back and forth between, physical action, thinking, meetings, learning and many other activities, I find balance. The biggest challenge for me is to find time to process. I used to find the transportation time was excellent for that. I look forward to a return to this.
