The average life of a job today is 2.7 years.

As the fluctuating economy dictates what takes place on the home front of the working class American, longevity with a company has become obsolete.

Of those who are employed today, 70% want to start their own business. This is a number that has drastically increased over the decade. America reached record numbers with high levels of unemployment rates, from coast to coast. Of the million plus affected, 94% desires to launch their own business, per a StartUp Nation poll.

It’s the job mindset that holds many in bondage to their jobs. What are people in bondage from? It’s their dreams, desires, and goals. Once the working class recognizes they’re chained mentally, psychologically, and emotionally to the conditioning of the 8 to 5 job, they’ll continue to place their desires on hold or on the top shelf.

Six Signs of an Enslaved Job Mindset

1. The need to fit in with the office cliques, groups, packs, and herds that travel together.

2. Emotional attachment expressed through complaining about any aspect of the job, the people, the processes, the changes, the policies, etc., throughout the day.

3. Dwell on issues and work dilemmas for long lengths of time, rather than zeroing in on the solutions.

4. Confidence is built on the need of feeling important, in authority, or as a lead. The job position or title provides false evidence of true inner self-confidence. The job is the sum of the employee.

5. Must be in the “know” of all the happenings within the office and within the company, as if it defines the job at hand.

6. Initiate discussions on every ongoing topic, issue, or email with a fine tooth comb.

Valuable time and energy is exerted daily on the above six mentioned actions, without any true self-fulfillment.

The number one down fall for the everyday employee is the ownership mentality of a job. Far too often the working-class stand guard to a job as though they have ownership of it. Many project through it on the level of a CEO. Sadly, many people over exert their time and energy into another’s dream.

The key is to become detached mentally, psychologically, and emotionally from the job.

It was stated, January 23, 2007 by the father of personal self-development Zig Ziglar that 73% of people aren’t content with their lives because their lives aren’t balanced. These same people refuse to analyze themselves. He continued as he spoke at the Get Motivated event, “If you’re afraid of grading yourself, you’re afraid of your future.”

The creator of The Power of Taking a Step: Techniques to Transform Out of the Job Mindset, Into Unleashing Your Dreams, a program that assists others to become detached and disconnected from the job, has launched a challenge.

The workplace challenge is to enlighten, to open eyes, as well as to bring forth self. With a glimpse of excitement and sprinkle of exhaustion, “This is just to get people to think. Not many of us are challenged mentally and that’s why so many aren’t happy with life. My desire is to assist 1,000 people to become detached from the mentally and emotionally conditioned job mindset,” shares C.F. Jackson.

The challenge is to start as soon as the next work day begins.

Workplace Challenge

Go to work for five consecutive days and listen. Listen to the work environment and the culture. The extreme challenge is this – recognize your inner emotions on specific topics, situations, discussions, people, and issues. Then there’s the extraordinary challenge: Don’t say anything. Provide feedback without the emotional and mental attachments. Manage the days by observing, listening, and speaking when spoken to.

As an author, messenger, and motivator, C.F. Jackson's passion is to be the light into your hidden dreams. After you listen to or experience C.F. Jackson personally - may it be a tele-series, events or just in passing, you will be enlightened to a higher level of the possibility of living your dream.
