Ready for a revolutionary jobs strategy? You must be and here it is.
Exactly what is a job? It is work that one does for a person who has formed some kind of company for the purpose of "making money". Real simple isn't it? Notice that there are at least two people in this system, the worker and the company owner. This can take a lot of forms, but this is the basic deal. Everyone understands that the objective of the company owner is to make a "profit" and it has to be clear to everyone that for the system to work, the owner has to make more money than the worker or there would be no reason for a potential worker to form a company. Isn't that simple too?
Now, here is where it starts to get interesting. What drives the worker in this deal? He wants to make as much as possible or do the least work for the compensation that he gets. Didn't know that the worker has at least "two" objectives? In the case of workers for our government who are paid with your tax dollars, their objective is to do both of the above and with special attention to doing the least work. As long as workers are only focused on the two objectives above, we will have the fewest jobs and the highest taxes. What workers need to do is get in the game with the company owner and help him make more money. That's right, make more money.
The profit motive is one of the strongest motivators in any economic system. Socialism does not have it and that is why there has never been a successful country whose economic system was based on socialism. If workers would come to work everyday with the idea of really helping the owner be more profitable, all players would end up being better off. We don't make TV sets or cell phones here in the USA because the company owners could not make a profit. Simple isn't it? If people want jobs here making TV sets or cell phones, they have to help rather than hinder the owners in making a profit.
For some reason, unionized workers get the idea that they are worth more than they are really worth. In the end, they are only worth the amount of compensation that allows the company owner to make a profit. The workers in our many old TV factories who were being paid $25 an hour were really only worth about $15 per hour. Rather than killing the goose that laid golden eggs, workers should have been thinking about how to raise more geese. I don't think that most workers appreciate the fact that the company owner pays far more taxes than they do and these taxes allow the worker's kids to attend schools that are much better than the worker could have afforded based on the value of their work alone.
Company owners should stop being concerned about sharing with their workers the fact that they are in this game for a "profit" and the more profit the company makes the more valuable is the labor of the workers. Don't worry that the company owner will make too much money. That is where competition comes in. If one company starts making too much money building TV sets, you can bet that another company will start up making TV sets too. It might be that most of our workers know so little about 4th grade math that this whole business goes over their heads.
When was the last time you went to work thinking about how you could make more profit for your employer? Maybe it has been too long!!
