The Rich Plumber

Hey - it's good to see you again! :)

This story sets me thinking why some people earn $100/day while some earn $1,000/day.

There was once a plumber who charged his client US$200 for 5 minutes of work.

The customer (client) was furious.  Had the customer KNOWN how and where to knock, he would have saved that US$200 fixing his own leaking pipe!

Yep, what the plumber knew – his knowledge – was worth US$200 although it was only 5 minutes of work!

It’s also interesting to see why some people are ahead of others.  Those who are simply doing their work cos “it pays” are of no (or little) competition to those who are doing the work they love.

    I hope that changes FlawedAngel (the numbers); may be you can say there are far more entrepreneurs who love what they do than the number of employees who love what they do.

    Sure thing FlawedAngel – I am a blog-hopping bitch (Qute Fairy-Angel kind of bitch)! lol

    How very true… yet I am willing to bet that those who work because it ‘pays off’ far outnumber those who actually ‘love’ what they do.

    Thanks for dropping by my blog! :)

    Hi +Baker! No, I am not into investing although I do enjoy keeping myself updated on stocks/shares. The guy who piqued my interest is no other than that famous author, Robert Kiyosaki! There’s so much to learn and I really enjoy “money lessons”. How about you CEO +Baker? :D

    You’re view on money is rather unique. Just curious, are you into investing at all?
