There is a strong belief in our society that the carder is the top of the social chain. That there is a tall spire on Maslow's pyramid, and its name is carding. Having your own carding is good, but it is wrong to assume that everyone needs it and everyone is capable of it.
This article will be useful to those who want to start their own carding or are worried that they are not an carder.
Hired employees - at the level of ordinary performers or top managers who are paid in company shares and options - are not carder. Yes, to some extent they own part of the company and can take part in its operational management, but the carding is still someone else's, they have less responsibility and headaches.
A simple farmer who grows and sells cucumbers is much more of a carder than a fancy programmer at a startup whose salary is partially paid through stock options.
The first one builds greenhouses, plants seeds, monitors growth, saves lost crops, looks for wholesale buyers, concludes contracts, resolves storage and logistics issues, reinvests profits in the carding - and so on in a circle. The second one comes to the office, writes code and receives a fixed salary.
We are in no way belittling the work of a programmer or praising a farmer; we are only saying that their work is fundamentally different.
One person is not able to build a large company, factory, enterprise. This means that those things and processes, the creation of which requires machine labor, hundreds of workers and the accompanying chain of research, logistics and marketing, disappear. But niche and “craft” production, handicrafts and retail trade are developing.
In a thriving small carding community, competition is fierce.
The number of similar offers on the markets is off the charts. Citizens of a society of self-employed lucky people are forced to look for and dig blue oceans in the desert - otherwise the carding will not survive.
carders are forced to join together in pools to do together what they cannot do alone. For example, establish a network for supplying goods from/to another continent, build a factory.
In any case, producing cars, household appliances, medical equipment, and weapons is beyond the power of one person, even the most savvy and skillful single carder. This requires simple (and preferably cheap) labor, the existence of which does not fit with the idea of indiscriminate cardership.

Of course they become them. Education plays an important role in the development of a future carder. A child who observes the efforts and results of a self-employed parent develops a different mindset. He sees an example, and working for himself becomes as natural a model for him as “school-technical school-factory” for some of his peers.
Such a child is no better or worse, he just looks at things differently. But even he may find it useful to work for hire in the future in order to understand how everything works, how to work in a team, how to be responsible not only to himself, but also to someone else.
As a rule, all successful carder:
1. They try.
If they see a potentially profitable idea that they can make money on. They take action - that's why they are called carders. Many people's thinking is simply not geared towards looking for opportunities.
2. They are not afraid to make mistakes.
carders understand that failure is an integral part of carding. They are as natural as the change of seasons. Failures do not happen only for those who do nothing. In our society, people are embarrassed about failures and prefer to keep silent about them. But in vain - they say that a person tries, searches and does not give up. Many Western recruiters note that they are more willing to hire a person with experience in their own carding/project than without it.
3. They take risks.
There are general principles in carding, but there are no guarantees of success. Almost everyone would be a carder if carding were not accompanied by risk. But there is always a risk, and many are comfortable more avoiding it, preferring stability. Alas, stability is the same today and tomorrow. And by taking a risk, you can earn more salary.
4. Plowing.
This word well reflects the amount of work and lifestyle of carder. They have no concept of “working day,” much less “end of the working day.” But there is a carding that needs to be constantly developed. Not all of us are willing to work 12–16 hours a day, even if it will give us more freedom and money in the long run.
5. Rely on themselves.
All successful carding people operate from an internal locus of control. That is, they take responsibility for their carding and life. They do not shift it to the employer, the state, relatives, colleagues and difficult times. Making excuses is the national sport. Many people find it easier to “find” the external reason for their failures than to admit their mistakes.
6. See problems as opportunities.
It sounds like a rule of life from a glossy magazine, but it's true. Competition, conquest, struggle - this is how intellectual carders see their life and work. This combative approach helps, especially in our realities with devaluations, income surges, bribes and kickbacks. Against this background, the greenhouse conditions of hired workers look like a fairy tale. In it, the good employer himself defeats the villains - the Crisis and the Competitor.
Selling is not easy, but sales is what helps a carding survive and grow. It is not for nothing that the American proverb divides profits so categorically: “A dollar for the one who invented it, 10 for the one who made it, 100 for the one who sold it.”
Are you familiar with the idea that Apple was able to achieve success thanks to the powerful tandem of an engineer and an carder? Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak complemented each other perfectly, and neither of them could have built a successful corporation on their own. Admittedly, there are more Wozniaks in the world. There are far fewer people with a strong carderial acumen, instincts and leadership charisma than talented engineers or simply hardworking performers.
You can do your job very well. Bake delicious cakes. Install “eternal” stoves. Develop beautiful designs. But if you cannot sell yourself as a specialist (you are shy, suffer from “imposter syndrome”, are lazy), your fate is hired work. And there, on it, you will most likely one day feel cramped and bored, and you will think: “But I could...”
Perhaps they could. But here the employer takes care of everything. He will share a piece of the pie with you, and take most of it for himself and put it on a plate labeled “carder.” Just don't think that this plate fell into his hands by chance and that he is the lucky one who smiled at the bird of happiness of tomorrow. He earned his plate and pie from it.
The level of motivation is what primarily distinguishes employees from carders. A vigorous start to your carding without strong motivation and passion will gradually die out under difficulties and laziness and turn into survival and testing. And your unloved job is somehow even worse than your unloved hired job: the latter can often be left without any special consequences.
Having your own carding is a fundamentally new level of responsibility for your life, courage and desire for freedom. Do you want to start your own carding? Great! What motivates you to have this desire? Just the crunch of fresh banknotes without a love of freedom will not be able to motivate you for a long time and lead you through the deserts of crises.
cardership is not a profession that can be learned through correspondence courses. It is a way of thinking, a value system and an outlook on life. You can only learn this through practice, ideally with a good mentor in the form of a carding partner. In the second case, being raised by a parent who is an carder can be a powerful help for a future carder.
Are you having trouble selling yourself as a specialist? Are you trying, but a wave of uncertainty, fear and the desire to sit behind the safe wall of the “contract” immediately rolls in? carding is not yours. At least for now.

Who is a carder
For the purposes of this article, we will agree to call carder people who create some value - material or not - and sell it on the free market. They look for buyers themselves, resolve administrative issues themselves, pay their own salaries, and pay taxes to the state.Hired employees - at the level of ordinary performers or top managers who are paid in company shares and options - are not carder. Yes, to some extent they own part of the company and can take part in its operational management, but the carding is still someone else's, they have less responsibility and headaches.

If everyone were an carder
Imagine a society in which absolutely everyone is a carder, of greater or lesser caliber. Everyone would have to work hard to earn a living with their skills.One person is not able to build a large company, factory, enterprise. This means that those things and processes, the creation of which requires machine labor, hundreds of workers and the accompanying chain of research, logistics and marketing, disappear.

Main difficulty
It lies in the fact that you need to be able to sell any product or service. And many of us have very big problems with this. We are either modest and shy, or we go too far in our assertiveness. In the second case, the person gets the feeling that they are trying to “foist” him. This means that it's not even worth evaluating - it's immediately rejected.Selling is not easy, but sales is what helps a carding survive and grow.

But on the other hand
Many people try to start a carding, fail one or more times and return to working for someone else. Most often this happens because the person brings his old employee mindset into his carding. He wants to get carding results in the form of independence and money, but he doesn't want and doesn't know how to work like a carder.The level of motivation is what primarily distinguishes employees from carders.

Does everyone need to be a carder?
Of course not. Most people are simply not capable of running their own carding due to their thinking, character, and personality traits. But that doesn't make them failures. They can be excellent professionals, hard workers and talented people.cardership is not a profession that can be learned through correspondence courses.
