Comments on: Seth Godin Prophesizes About the Future of Your “Job” (You Should Read This) http://thinktankinvesting.com/seth-godin-prophesizes-about-the-future-of-your-%e2%80%9cjob%e2%80%9d-you-should-read-this Investment News and Resources Wed, 14 Mar 2012 20:58:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: JL http://thinktankinvesting.com/seth-godin-prophesizes-about-the-future-of-your-%e2%80%9cjob%e2%80%9d-you-should-read-this/comment-page-1#comment-271 JL Sun, 21 Feb 2010 01:01:07 +0000 http://thinktankinvesting.com/?p=471#comment-271 Did he say WHY people will continue to work harder and harder and earn less and less? Is it just because of the shape of the economy and the supply and demand of people and jobs? He didn't offer any points on countering the trend?? From my limited perspective, I would propose that that statement only applies to the employee class of people. I know several successful entrepreneurs who do not work a full 40 of 50-hour work week and make great money. I think that is also a trend that should be considered. I will definitely pick up his books though. However, Corey should let us know when Seth is speaking, BEFOREHAND so that we can all go. -JL Did he say WHY people will continue to work harder and harder and earn less and less?

I would never say Robert is a genius but you have to start the reality check at some point in your life. You have to understand how money is made or not. Understand that when you are most comfortable is when you should be afraid. Most importantly always be ready for change. I look forward to listening to him. Audio books are the best tool for acquiring information because you can listen and work, clean, drive and or workout.

Glad you got a lot out of it. Recently I heard him promoting his new book, "Linchpin" and one of the things he said that stuck out most in my mind was: "People will continue to work harder and harder and earn less and less." I think most of the people out there in the workforce right now who are still with the same company and who have watched all of their coworkers become laid off feel this way. And this isn't going to change soon. Companies won't go back to making the revenues that they made before because the economy is so profoundly different than it was even 5 years ago. This is a tough pill to swallow for those who are still with the same company, doing the jobs by themselves that 3-5 people used to do there who are now laid off. Read the new book "Linchpin" if you think what I've just said is even remotely true. It will change your life. -A & I I wish I could have seen Seth speak on Friday. Glad you got a lot out of it.
