The greater number of people still believe that the best way to earn money is through employment. Sadly, I have been one of the people who used to hold that belief. Unfortunately, I discarded that belief after a sad occurrence in my life. I refocused my belief on how best to earn money after I was forced to leave employment in which I had worked for close to fifteen years. The company seemed to willy-nilly choose people to lay off when it was faced by economic hardships. I felt used up. Considering the years and the effort, I expended at the company I was hurt. From that moment on, I never liked working for someone or any company. Thus, I sought an alternative source of money. My first reaction was to form my own company. And yes I did, but unfortunately, I could not succeed in my own business. That is when I decided to go for online business.
There are a number of reasons for people to resort to employment as a means of livelihood. One of the reasons is safety. Employed people feel safe and secure as they receive a monthly remuneration. We were also indoctrinated that being employed is the best option to earn money. Usually, third world type of education has a focus on employment rather than entrepreneurship. This is a sad scenario. When I lost my job, as alluded in the first paragraph, I turned my attention to writing. Writing has always been my interest. Even when I was employed formally, I would take my time writing articles and research papers. Faced with unemployment I refocused myself on my hobby and natural gift- writing. Now, when I look at my current success on writing and the income generated, I question myself why I had opted for employment in the first place. Working on your own, focusing on your talents brings happiness, peace and freedom. Ultimately, I learned the importance of recognising one’s talent and using it to earn a living. This article looks at how one can monetise his/her talents at Decenturion.
Let’s first look at the analysis made by a prominent writer and researcher, David Jochanan Rothkopf, in his book, ” The Global Power Elite and the World they are Making.” In this book, David Rothkopf pointed out that 10% of the population own about 85% of the world’s wealth. He further alluded that only 2% in the world own about 50% of the world’s wealth. This small percentage of the world’s population has gone on top because they have been able to use their talents and gifts, including their natural skill of networking. This statistic shows that many people fail to achieve their best because they do not capitalise on their natural talents and abilities.
By definition, a talent is a special ability, skill or aptitude that a person has. Successful people have recognised their talents and have managed to use them. Those who believe in Jesus Christ have a lot to learn from him about talents. Naturally, according to Christians, the things that Jesus taught were part of the natural laws. In his teachings, Jesus talked about how the servants of a certain master used their talents. One of the servants used his talents well and became successful in life. The other servant failed to use his talents and he failed for good. Although Jesus was talking of talents in the form of the Roman money, his teaching was mainly used to refer to people’s natural talents and gifts. People who use their talents in life succeed and those who do not seem to struggle economically. This is the basis of my belief that people can naturally make a living based on their talents. Our talents seem to be distributed in form of normal distribution, meaning that if we all use them we better our own lives and those of the rest of mankind.
Many people have used their talents wisely. Examples of successful people who have used their talents are singers, footballers and actors. The list is long. I want to use a practical example of how people can monetise their talents at Decenturion.
Monetising our talents at Decenturion
Decenturion, the world’s first decentralised state has many opportunities on how people monetise their talents, efforts and time. But my focus is on how people can monetise their talents. I had made it simpler to say monetise their talents. Alternatively, we can say how people monetise themselves. This does not mean selling themselves. It means earning from doing things that they enjoy doing, away towards self-actualisation. First of all, technically competent people, having a love for innovation and cryptocurrencies enjoy being on Decenturion. Secondly, extroverts who like socialising on social platforms can participate in cryoptosocial activities and earn a living out of that. Social-oriented people can now earn money by participating in decentralised social platforms where they are paid for participation. Apart, from this Decenturion offers talented writers an opportunity to earn from their writing expertise by becoming its social mouthpiece.
Decenturion offers people of diverse backgrounds to make use of their skills in furthering their ambitions and the welfare of others. The vision of Decenturion is to create a world in which people are equal partners and participants. What a vision? Apart from writers, mentors, coaches and leaders are required. If you take part to study what Decenturion is, you can see how you fit in it. We can thus come together and make a future we like; a future next generations will thank us for. We are talking of a nation that is borderless. When I say it is borderless, I may be wrong. Its borders are the edge of the earth. Everyone has a place and a role to play.
