One of my latest gigs was an arborist. My talents exceeded my peers. My boss new this and paid me accordingly.
There was no way in hell I'm investing in 2 pickup trucks a bucket truck,chipper, chainsaws, a rental property with garage, climbing equipment and the list goes on.
I came out way further ahead as an employee than my boss did. Mind you I invested my money in myself where he continued to funnel it back into the business.
After 7 years of arboring my body said it had enough. And I walked away with no baggage. If I owned all that equipment... I'd probably have a really sore back and a yard full of used almost dead trucks and trailers.
As an added bonus. I can Now recalibrate and discover myself again 👌🤘
