Have you ever met a person who wanted money but who was unwilling to do what it takes to earn it? Most of us probably have. I know I am sheltered, but it still boggles my mind. I want money - so I have to work. I said NO to a chronically unemployed male friend who was shopping with me, when he asked for a dollar. Repeatedly, I have said, “As a caregiver to the disabled and elderly, I clean men’s private parts for a living, and clean up poop. I expect you to stop being picky and just get any job. If I were picky I wouldn’t be working now.” There is a value in being proactive, as well as in TAKING WHAT YOU CAN GET and blooming where you are planted. When you outgrow your planter, someone else can take you. I tried to get him to look up a job search website while I looked up one, off of a list from the local job agency. Three hours, later, both of us were frustrated. I looked up 11 websites. He didn’t look up any. It can try the patience of a saint. So I had to set my boundary - my financial boundary - you don’t want to help yourself - then I can’t help you.

Quality of an entrepreneur: extremely proactive. Not to be tooooo prideful that I AM proactive, but sheesh, money is not USUALLY going to come bop you over the head and say TAKE ME. I want money - so I have to work. It doesn’t grow on trees. Everything I ever got I had to earn - my parents could not afford to get it for me. While it was hard, it was good because people SHOULD earn what they get, not expect too many handouts.
