Better Than the Stock Market
The stock market is jumping all around and people are wondering what they should do with their investments. For many people these investments are their retirement funds.
The only true control you have is to take your money out or put more in. The performance of the stock market or stocks you have invested in are controlled by others, not you.
Would you like to have some control? There is a way to get some control and that is through employee ownership. When you have ownership in a company you can make a difference.
As an employee owner you do have some control over your investment. You can add value through managing your customers, implementing new ideas, improving processes, and even just plain ol' hard work.
That is just one individual, but consider that you could have a whole team or company of owners focused on building value. Not all employee owned companies give that much control to their employee owners, but the ones that do to add value and help control the fear that most employees feel in tough times. Employee ownership is a proactive means to give some control back to individuals. It is not easy, but the rewards run broad and deep when ownership is shared.
Imagine if you could have that much influence on your stock market investments - you may just sleep a little better. Ownership can take a lot of the uncertainty out of peoples lives and that my friends adds value beyond dollars.
