VOLUNTARY SLAVERY......by Dymund

VOLUNTARY SLAVERY-A LOT OF YOU ARE SLAVES ,YOU JUST REFUSE TO ADMIT IT.

Working from the age of 14, I felt lost frustrated and scared when I finally decided to quit my last job at 22. I had been holding down 3 jobs before I got this permanent position at a supermarket ,30hrs – tax = £800 a month, I thought I was set until 2months into the job I became physically and emotionally drained it was the worst company I had worked for and I did not have any other job to fall back on. Then I quit.

6 years retail experience, 8 GCSE’s, 3 A levels, A Diploma and a pending degree I was confident I was not thick, 2 registered and upcoming businesses and plenty of ideas I definitely had ambition and I aint shy so why had it taken me so long to realise that the strong qualities and interpersonal skills that made companies such as John Lewis employ me were the same skills I could use to work for myself? FEAR.

SCARED of not having a guaranteed paycheck at the end of the month.

SCARED of not having future references.

SCARED of failing.

SCARED of being rejected.

I put all that aside because I think fear is healthy, it should be a driving force just like a catalyst to your success not a hinderance in your life. Fear is being scared of the unknown, we’re human so what we don’t understand or know or are sure of will make us take a step back. Don’t let it! I knew that if I let fear get in my way I was going to be one of those supervisors at a supermarket at the induction like ‘Hi everybody my name is Dymund and I have been with the company for 25 years, I met my husband here and my two sons work here too’ *looks down in shame* I definitely did NOT want that, the path I’ve chosen is to be my own boss, same way I was working my butt off for someone else I am going to do for myself!

I have no doubt I have started building an empire, I’ve taken all the tools they showed me and I’ve studied their weaknesses, now I’m going to build my brand. Rome was not built in one day so I know it ain’t going to be easy but I know its going to be worth it! Induction day at my companies will begin with a video from me saying ‘Hi everybody, AS YOU ALREADY KNOW my name is Dymund and I built this multi-million pound business 20 years ago when I realised I was worth more than a £800 a month salary’.

You’re the Son or Daughter of a King, you were not born to slavery neither should you succumb or die to it, you have your job because someone saw potential in you! They saw the greatness in you and knew you would be an important asset to their company, now take that and run with it! Do not get me wrong, if you’re a lazy ass mofo then don’t use my words as ‘inspiration’ to quit the only thing keeping you in line. I’m talking to hardworking, motivated people. You may not feel any of this applies to you but that is cool too because many are called BUT only few are chosen. SO are you 1 of the MANY or 1 of the FEW?

Because YOU really are worth it!

Money and prices

These are the things that dictate value and how much an item is worth. It’s through this that we adopt ways of treating certain items.

Like you won't treat a Gucci bag the same as a Primark bag.

‘‘My friend can borrow my top from peacocks but she definitely can’t borrow the one from Jane Norman.

‘‘Ill carry my river island bag to work, college, school etc but I will only carry my Prada bag to special events.

Why??? Because the amount of money you spend on an item reminds you how it should be treated. Money and price are the things that make us aware about worth and value even from a very young age.

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

PUT A PRICE ON YOURSELF!

If that’s what it will take for you to understand what you are worth than please go ahead and do it because there are too many people walking around with no self confidence, no self esteem, no self belief and no self worth! IT HAS TO STOP!

It does not matter what the price is, the only thing that matters is what you think the amount is worth. So if you think £500 is a lot than go for that. £10? Go for it. A student may say ‘‘well my tuition fees cost me £3000 that’s a lot, than go for the £3000. It really does not matter about the digits. As long as you think its worth a lot than tag yourself. But please be realistic about it because there is no point of saying ‘am worth a billion and trillion thousand pounds if you cant even write that digit down on paper. Be real with yourself and tag yourself with a digit that you fully comprehend.

1 more thing shhhhhhhhhhh don’t tell a soul, just let it be your little secret! Between you and you! Let your behavior, your conduct and your results tell the world.

Self worth comes when you know who you are, what you can do, where you are going and why you are here. People fail to understand and have self worth because they know either of the above. If this is you I want you to write a CV. Not for an employer but for yourself. (I won’t go in to details for the CV but if you are interested inbox me and I will be more than happy to share with you)

Because everything else has a meaning you must understand yours- how? Self worth xx

WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER HOPE FOR THE BEST BUT PLAN FOR THE WORST!!!

‘Hope for the best but plan for the worst’

Everyday somebody somewhere states this and because it is repeated by many individuals it has become a statement that people are proud to say and they even believe it! Let’s analysis this popular statement it will only take a minute or 2.

Hoping for the best but planning for the worst is a COWARDS way of thinking! ............ Yes I hear some disagreements but please keep reading.

Hope is an amazing emotion and feeling but from what I know, Hope alone will never move mountains. HOPE + PLANNING will move something even if it isn’t a mountain! If you add persistence and a few others to that equation a mountain will have to move!

NEVER EVER plan for the worst!!!! Why??? Becausewhen you PLAN for something it means you are giving it attention and focus. What does a PLAN actually mean? According to my dictionary a PLAN is an intention, a detailed intended action to achieve. A series of steps to be carried out or goals to be accomplished.

Just think about a bride and groom planning their wedding. They spend so much money, time and effort on every single smallest detail that may occur on their special day. This takes a lot of effort. That is why I said when you plan for something it means you are giving it attention and focus. Having studied the laws of nature it is evident that people usually get more of what they focus on. So if you focus on the worst you will only get the worst! HOPE FOR THE BEST AND PLAN FOR THE BEST!!



If anything in that ‘worst’ bracket appears than you should have the desire to turn it into an opportunity! Because people who hope for the best but plan for the worst live with and act upon FEAR……….......FEAR is one of the biggest enemies you will ever have! Because fear has the power to cause so many other emotions which only lead to negative situations.I believe that sometimes people Fear because of self-doubt and low self-esteem.

If this note speaks to you in anyway than 2011 is the year of change because you will never achieve your goals or live the life of your dreams when you act upon fear! Low self esteem is an emotion that should be treated as urgent as a person who has just been stabbed! Because it will only eat you away!


Next time before you start feeding your mind with ‘popular statements’ please analysis what the statement is actually doing to you.

Best wishes for the rest of the year! Pleaseeeeeeeeee hope and plan for the best! Lots of love Gracia xxx
