Preach! “Not Everyone will be an Entrepreneur” – Read Actor Femi Jacobs’ words for those who look down on “Workers”

Actor Femi Jacobs is not afraid to share his view.
This time, he is speaking out about motivational speakers who basically snub the concept of working while emphasising entrepreneurship.

Read his tweets and Instagram post below;

Let’s not shame honest people who wake up daily to do honest work.
Let’s not breed entitlement in the name of enlightenment.
Let’s not negate character by raising a generation on HIGHMINDEDNESS.
I am in favor of RESIDUAL INCOME sources and the gospel of PERSONAL DREAMS.
But to say everyone MUST BE AN ENTREPRENEUR is to be practically insincere.
I am often sometimes tempted to tell some so called ENTREPRENEURS to go work for a while to even be able to understand what building a dream is like.
I know some incredible working class people who are inspiring and prosperous in the way they go about their jobs.
It’s not a crime to help someone build their dreams and be rewarded handsomely for it.
To those wonderful entrepreneurs who are creating jobs and raising dreams, I say Welldone.
And to those wonderful workers who go out daily to give a good account of their stewardship I say God bless. NO SHAME IN YOUR GAME.

Dear Motivational Speaker,
Don’t sound like it’s a crime to work for someone else. Not everyone will be an entrepreneur.

I’m suspicious of the theory of greatness. Greatness is a by product of a life well lived, and it exists in every step along the ladder.

Most people we praise today just simply aspired to be useful, to answer the call of conscience and do what needed to be done, quietly.

This gospel of greatness could breed highmindedness. No task is unworthy of you if it lies in your path of duty, to yourself or an employer

People want to join an industry from the top. So they pay undue attention to BRANDING, forgetting to practice SERVICE.

You will get some attention by wearing fancy clothes. But the accolades will come from pulling them off and getting down to work, quietly.

Let’s stop this nonsensical culture of shaming those who support enterprises in positions of employees or our dreams will be stillborn.

Working for others can sharpen your leadership skills. Being broadly tested as a follower could make one a much better leader.
