People who had better options don't go into politics.

Again, name someone who had better options who went into politics.

They could have made more money doing something else, but they instead did politics.

Name one politician for whom that's true.

Work all day.

Work on your game.

Work on your game.

Work on your game.

This is Drey Baldwin.

You're listening to Work on your game.

If you have not heard part one and part two of this series where I have laid the groundwork for what is going to be expressed here in part three,

make sure you go listen to the previous two episodes of this masterclass. So you are not lost as to

what I am talking about and why I'm talking about it. So we are pick up right where we left off

about further ado at point number seven. Again, the topic, why I'm not a politician. Number seven, limited income potential compared to entrepreneurship. There is one main mandate that an entrepreneur has or a business owner has, which is to increase the value of the business for the shareholders. In other words, to make the people who own the business more money. That's the reason why you start a business is to make money. There may be other things you want to do with the business, but the main objective of a business is to make money. It doesn't mean you do everything for money and you sacrifice everything in the pursuit of money, but one of the aims of owning a business is to make money. It's one of your mandates when you own a business and I'm saying all that to say this. If I were to get into politics, I could not spend time running my business because I'll be serving the people, allegedly, if I'm in politics. And on top of that, politics do not offer unlimited income potential to the way to the business does. When you're in politics, there is a cap on your income. Well, at least there's supposed to be because there's a stated salary that you can earn when you're in politics. Now, there are other ways politicians make money, which we're not going to get into here today, which is one of the main reasons why they stay in it, if you ask me. But that's not the topic here today. Based on the way the rules are laid out, there's a certain amount of money you make. It's a job when you work in politics. When you are an entrepreneur, you have unlimited income potential.

They trade off of money you make. It's a job when you work in politics.

When you are an entrepreneur, you have unlimited income potential. The tradeoff of that unlimited income potential is that you are not guaranteed a floor. You also are not limited to a ceiling. When you have a job, there's a ceiling, but there's also a floor. I'd rather get rid of the floor and the ceiling to have an unlimited ceiling. I get rid of the floor rather to have an unlimited ceiling. That's the tradeoff of security for freedom. Everybody understand? So if I'm in politics, I can't run my business and I got a ceiling on my income. Business does not have a ceiling.

It doesn't have a floor either. I would rather take my chances running a business and either

trying to get rich or staying rich

as a business owner than to be a politician and have my income potentially stifled by the

rules set by the government that mandates how much I make. I'd rather take my chances and I'll make

all or nothing than have a set amount, especially with all the other things I've already told you. All this in order to have a limited salary, a ceiling on how much money I can make. Are you joking? No, I'm not signing up for that. Would you sign up for that? I find it interesting that people who actually sign up for this. But actually, I know why they sign up for it. They do not have the ability to do

what I do in business. This is the reason why they get in politics. That's a different conversation for a different day, maybe. While I do want to help as many people as possible who want to be helped, I can do that as a politician, I can do it as a school teacher, I can do it doing what I'm doing now, there are some things that I am not going to sacrifice in order to help people.
