What Libertarians and Revolutionaries Can Teach You About Business

By Tony Measles
I really didn't give much thought to the Libertarian Party or Libertarians in general until a few months ago. At that time I had the good fortune of having lunch at the Paris Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada with Mr. Wayne Allyn Root. Mr. Root was the Libertarian Party's candidate for Vice President in 2008 and will be the party's candidate for President in 2012. To say the least it was an eye opening meeting. The

more I have learned about Libertarians since then, the more I like them.

Libertarians are committed to a smaller federal government with less control of our daily lives. They believe in lower taxes and personal responsibility. They believe that what you do in your own home or bedroom is none of the government's business. In 1776 when Benjamin Franklin designed a United States silver coin with the motto-"Mind Your Own Business" engraved on the reverse, he was expressing the mindset of a Libertarian.

Their message is just what this country needs. Take responsibility for your own actions. Let businesses sink or swim on their own merits. Limit taxes and regulations so that small businesses have a fighting chance to succeed. Realize that government never produces any money; all it ever does is spend your money.

If you want to succeed in life it is a good idea to think like a Libertarian. Don't expect government hand outs and don't whine. Don't make a lot of rules that will interfere with the freedom of others. Work with other people to help them get what they want and you will get what you want. These are basic business principles, yet in an atmosphere of bail outs and entitlements, many individuals seem to have forgotten them.

Do you have a dream? Is there an entrepreneur inside you yearning to get free? There is an endless supply of people who would love to break free from the rigid 9-5 treadmill of the hourly wage earner. Most of those people will never take the steps necessary to change their lives. They will be shackled by fear and pressure to be just go along with the majority. As long as you give in to that fear, you will not escape from the chains that hold you right where you are today.

The founding fathers of this nation were revolutionaries. If you want to change your future, you must be a revolutionary also. You must revolt against spending all of your time and energy working at a meaningless job where you are not appreciated. I made the choice to work from my home and never again go to a job where my schedule is dictated to me. Decide now that you deserve to enjoy life, liberty and happiness.
