I
have researched extensively and write on NEW
AGE PROFESSIONS that appeared or sprouted
like mushrooms in Los Angeles, a fairly far out, new Age community because
I think they'd do well in other cities, as evolution unrolls. They're all
jobs that you can do out of your home office or living room.
If I saw a pal make a mint doing it, I wrote it up!
In L.A., I have seen, learned from, and consulted folks who do multiplicities of interesting, artistic, fun things that anybody could do to make a living. The concept of REGULAR people doing amazing THINGS and asking very low prices for services that usually are very costly is engaging to me. I have dozens of chapters to the book GUERILLA CAPITALISM and intend posting them all here at this website. And many are at my other site. THE PHILOSOPHY of the GUERILLA CAPITALISM articles all go roughly like this:
GUERILLA CAPITALISM. First, the Logic for it.
You’re
good at things. (Name ten talents right now.( Don’t forget that apple dish
of your mothers you make so well. Don’t forget how well you listen to suffering
people. That’s called mentoring, and with no degree you can earn 15$ an
hour handling stressed mothers' nutty teens. Read up on MENTORING
when you have a moment. Click on the word. It's a live link.
You’re
good at things you could charge for. Name ten things right now and write
next to each gift you have the amount that other people make each hour
they're doing it. Wait, don’t tell me people don’t charge for PIE MAKING.
THEY CHARGE for it all right and it’s called COOKING FOR CHIC CAFES.....
Put that on your list, damnit! And the hourly wage, ten pies you sell for
10$ each is a hundred bucks for a single PIE BAKING session. Oh and you
shlepp them to the cafes. An afternoon's work. Or create a food
co-op for the community. Or your own
café in any ole store
front.
See, my point is, you’re good at dozens of things people need, things that you don’t have to go to school to do better than you already do it.. You’re good at things that could help suffering humanity. You give great massage. One article will show you how to turn that into cash. You know about house plants, aromatic oils, flowers, things that give pleasure. The UBERWEALTHY play plenty for those skills. You know stuff and could teach it. You could supply both services and things that people NEED.
Now take 8 hrs a day times 5 days, 40 hours of THAT wage that you just wrote down. Could you pay your rent with that? I think so.
Yet you’re afraid. You want to be sewn into a job as if it were a coffin, in exchange get a promise of 30k a year and have the IRS looking over your shoulder hungrily at every penny of that 30, and you want a stamp of approval from Big Brother first, huh? Before you’ll do any of those wonderful things for a living, --- before you will quit that dumb job that you hate --- before you stop doing this low rent thing you’re doing now to make the rent, and before you START doing what you’re good at and love to do, at the wage you cited, you will find excuses. Guaranteed. Because why? Why do you think that is?
Because the EGO requires one thing of us, (its captive). It wants us to fail. That’s why people love being losers. They hate to admit that they’re experts on anything. That they're Geniuses. Already perfect. THEY HATE it worse than anything. They hate to admit they’re ready to fly on wings to the skies. That they’re grown up. That they’re authorities. That they’re able to shoulder in at the trough, in the professional marketplace, and get their marketshare and charge bigtime and cut it bigtime.
People actually prefer to say I’m not ready yet, I’m not for real, I don’t deserve success. I am not good enough. I can live frugal. And when you show them so-called experts in the marketplace that don’t reach to their kneecap, they prefer to be dazzled by the star’s act and never get on stage themselves. Go figure!
When I tell talented people ‘start charging immediately for that thing you do so well,’ they’ll give me convoluted, inventive reasons why they can’t. They’ll tell me that one has to to school for 6 years to get a license to do it, or one has to intern for free for another two years, and then get county clearances, not to mention licenses and that it’s not legal, that it’s not kosher unless they don’t leap through all those hoops the state puts in front of them and leap for ten years before they start earning with it.

THEY tell you that nobody can heal without a college degree? WRONG. My healer MARGE lives in the sticks, makes 800k a year and never finished high school. They tell you that you can’t open a business in your home and make a living. Yeah? WHO ARE THEY? SHEEPLE locked into dreary boring jobs? Your mother in law? The county license bureau or the state or the federal authorities? Well those are people who do not want you to be happy, free, talented and prolific. Those are your worst enemies. Don’t listen to those people, they’re demented. YOU DO THAT PIE THING or that mentoring thing very WELL today, without further training and hey, you need to do something that you love for money. Something you’re invested in emotionally the way you are in that, and you need to do it NOW cuz the rent’s due now and you hate your current make-a-living arrangement now and you're going wacky now from the meaningless of what Marx called "Alienated Labor" and I don't mean Groucho! You don’t have ten years to kick around suffering and not being good enough. So get over your self invalidation. You may not swim the Atlantic, but you are good enough to wade out into the deep end of the pool, into the waters of wage-earning, doing that wonderful thing you do so well. Get cards printed saying ‘I DO THIS’ and your home phone number. Give them to all the people you meet and chat with and like. And do talk to everybody in line at the Super market and outside the theatre, etc.
Get
a small notebook to keep track of appointments, jobs, addresses of clients.
End of paper work. Did you see ‘keep records for IRS’ in there? No I didn’t
say that. Leave no paper trail. We get to that in the CLEAN MONEY article
on this site, called 'LEGAL LAUNDERING.'
The guerilla capitalist goes off grid. Unplugged from the Matrix. He doesn't
support the war, his dollars do not go for it. READ THE
EXPERTS
ON THIS THEME.
All
there is really is THE HERE AND NOW. The past isn’t real, the future could
be anything. Great futures are built of intense nows. Get busy here and
now on the Intensely personal, unique Now."
