Why Making A Living Outside of the Master’s Box Is Important

Posted on October 29, 2016 - October 29, 2016 by Nikoya

1307_think_outside_the_box1This blog launched with several posts on how to follow your purpose, make a living on your own terms, and how to break the dependency of having a “job”.  I wrote about the spiritual aspects of working in corporate America in Are You A Spiritual Prostitute? and it stirred a lot of questions from the audience to be explored.  We expounded on how to live your vocational purpose, why it is important to live your assignment versus having a job, how to Create Income, How to Master Your Assigned Industry and Create Income, How to do the mental work of creating an income and more in the archives.

There are so many dimensions on this topic that more can be explored and written as time goes on. I have learned so much over the course of time, hence receiving revelation on what works and what does not.

There is never a more important time to release dependency on any masters that exist when it comes to taking care of the basic needs of your life.  a “master” would be any form of: a invisible employer, prostituting bosses, or any entity where you are working to achieve their goals and at the cost of neglecting your own.

Time and freedom may be the only goals you have – these are just as important as anything else.





Your assignment in life should never be neglected to work somewhere where the needs of the body are the only needs being met.

Your job and your purpose are not synonymous. Your purpose and your assignments are not necessarily being animated at your current job just because you are there.

Creating financial independence promotes purpose development and life assignment fulfillment.  As long as you have to spend your time and energy working for a master, you will not be able to fully explore the non-limitations of life purpose and potential.

Breaking free from the master’s box is not always easy, and sometimes in exploration of financial freedom we can find ourselves in even more bondage-like scenarios.

Beware of the Image of Freedom

I recently experienced this in my most recent business endeavor working for  a small consultancy.  The opportunity appeared to promote flexibility, freedom and a solid learning platform.  I took it on with high hopes. I was functioning as a consultant, as an independent agent, for a large corporation who was just establishing a global procurement department in order to increase the functionality and profitability of their organization.

As time went on, I was emerged more and more into this primary clients corporate culture and in-the-box strategies.  In my bosses efforts to please the client, we went along with most of the standard work- with me doing the heart of it all, both high level and detailed-analytical aspects, with my boss presenting it as his own. I was then required to be in office daily, at set times, while he lived in a different city and flew around serving other clients. The consultancy’s revenue was 70% from the client I was consulting with, while their other 30% of revenue was from their misc. clients.

They were severely profiting off of my work and face-time.

I was getting cheated. Not only financially, but physically due to the in-person requirements and corporate like bonding which they desired. As a result my own business was neglected, I was driving over 2 hours per day just for this, I was essentially working a corporate job without the perks and benefits, and I had no time for my own business responsibilities.

This is what I mean by another form of a master-ship: prostituting bosses.  Especially when you are a part of a very small group who functions independently. If your boss takes your work and it is the heart of what is provided to the client, but you are not able to profit off it all equally; this is prostitution.

If you are breaking into an industry or working entry level, how your boss uses your work is different of course. I am not talking about this. Working as a consultant and independent agent, I provided high level strategy and guidance to implementation to upper and executive level management who were in the process of creating a global team. The stakes were high but they weren’t paying me the price.

Recognizing the value you are providing is another clear indication of if you are in the right place in your career or vocation.

No one will care that you increased X corporations revenues by $25.6 Billion in a 6-8 month term upon your death. Your legacy should be something other than how you increased business revenue for an invisible elite. Let your life be about how you impacted your own community and lived your life enriching other lives along the way.

A Job Is Seasonal & Temporary if it is a Requirement For You

If you must have a job, understand the seasonality of it.  Jobs are great when they are a part of your seasonal assignment. They are an excellent opportunity to temporarily learn your industry on your bosses expense when you do not know what you are doing.  This is the key to recognizing value: When you know and can verbalize your worth, that is the time you will be accountable for prostitution if you don’t put an end to it and seek independence.

The problem with the job type of agreement is that people get into the “job” mindset and thus become dependent.  They sound like trained robots versus logically thinking adults.

It is the element of continuous dependency that is dangerous, not the act of having a job or an employer temporarily.  Dependency creates a delay in self-actualization, thus preventing you from fully animating your life assignment and God-given purpose.

If the master can keep you searching for a job whenever financial times are challenging, your attention is fixed on the basic needs of the body: food, clothing, shelter, and other worldly non-essentials. But if you create an avenue of independence financially, the season of needing a job will be put to rest.  You can now live out your purpose and life assignment. This is the missing element many of us miss in life.

Don’t be next.

Authenticity Cures Disease, Addiction and Depression

Many mental illnesses and cases of depression are rooted in the sense of a lack of fulfillment and non-animation of life purpose.  People feel stuck in life long circles of redundancy, monotony and habits.  They have to keep doing the same things everyday or else they will not have X, Y and Z.  If they stop, not only will they not have X, Y and Z, they may not know why they even need certain parts of that X, Y, and Z.





Authenticity is a path that leads you to recognize your masters.  Your masters may not even be rooted in the side of traditional workmanship. You may have created self-appointed masters such as addictions: food, drink or drugs. There are several people I know that only work to feed these masters- and only work just enough to supply what they need. These masters have the same stifling effect of a soul crushing job, and may be even harder to break free from.

In the end of it all, more of the master’s money will not help you reach your true potential. Only you can own and choose to embark on the responsibility of animating your created purpose.

Coily Clips: A Solution For Black, Natural, Afro-Textured Hair Breakage and Shedding

Posted on March 28, 2014 - March 28, 2014 by Nikoya

coily-clips-launch

I’ve had fun working on a new business, called Coily Clips, which solves the problem of short, sparse hair for natural and afro-textured chicks.

As a natural haired chick myself, I sometimes want to achieve certain styles that were difficult to do with natural hair with out causing damage (I don’t use heat) or breakage (excessive braiding and weaves).

Especially after having my baby, I have experienced a lot of post-partum shedding. ANYWAY, I created the idea, incorporated the business with the state, and launched it.

My favorite part about the product is that it only takes 5 minutes to install, and blends great with our natural texture. I am a biggie on saving time!

Check it our and share it with other naturals you know.

I have also created an affiliate program for this business. Anyone interested in selling this product on their websites or social media accounts, can earn a decent commission.  If you have an audience that is natural and looking for afro-textured tips, hair and styles you’d be ideal to market this product.

Finding a career that fits you

Posted on September 9, 2013 - September 9, 2013 by Nikoya

Written by: Nikoya

“Go to school!” they scream once you graduate high school, and maybe even undergraduate school these days.

“Get a job!” they tell you as soon as you get a chance to breathe as an adult.

I can’t help but ask, to the person that endures this talk and does not know what they want to do as a career in life- how does this affect you psychologically?  If you have family as hard as a lot of people, the kind where everything you do has to be justified, I’m sure it effects you in some kind of negative light.

I know very few people who have deeply fulfilling careers.  Most people I know simply complain about their jobs and their seemingly limited variations of opportunities. Those are the people that I just want to shake and say, “do you realize how powerful you are? You are an intelligent, creative human being, just choose to live that way!”

Yes, we have a choice.  We have a choice to live in the dark about our true purpose and life.  We have a choice of committing to a career we hate or creating one that we’ll love.  We have a choice to listen to the people outside of ourselves versus our own voice on the inside.

Quitters are smarter

If you do not know what fits you for a long term career, there is nothing wrong with actively trying different roles until you learn something about yourself.  Trying and quitting is more about choosing to learn more about you versus passively chilling in the corner cubicle rotting away from fear.  Why live that life? Stop being afraid to quit; it is best to quit something you don’t like and find something that you can give your best to.

Until you know who you are, it will be hard to find a career that fits you the most.  Knowing who we are and choosing to live authentically makes a huge different in our happiness.

Sometimes change means growth. Just because you found one opportunity in your life, doesn’t mean you have to stay in that same opportunity forever.  If Steve Jobs had chosen to accept that he was a “bum living in his parents basement” or a “college dropout who could not even afford a stick of deodorant” we would not have so many of the luxuries that we have now.  The iPhone changed how the world works and thinks.  If he had not quit college and continued down the “expected” path for a privileged 20-something, would he have still made such a huge economical and social impact on the world? Probably not.  The cute little apple symbol wouldn’t exist at all, because he felt a diet on nothing but apples made him smell better, giving him the idea that he didn’t need to buy deodorant.


“Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy. For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man’s hunger. And if you grudge the crushing of the grapes, your grudge distils a poison in the wine. And if you sing though as angels, and love not the singing, you muffle man’s ears to the voices of the day and the voices of the night.” – Khalil Gibran

Live with others in mind

Instead of living your life purely for self, live for others.  Ask, “what can I contribute to society?”, “how can I give and create value, without looking for anything in return?” and “how can I make social impact?”

What would you do for free?  What are you doing right now that helps others and is valuable to people that also applies as a solution to a common problem?

If you can find the overlap of value creation and what you would do for free because you love it, then you are getting closer to finding a career that truly fits you.

Success comes when you can complete your innate purpose in life.  It starts when you can find a problem and solve it.  It requires self-mastery.

“But I say to you that when you work you fulfill a part of earth’s furthest dream, assigned to you when that dream was born, And in keeping yourself with labor you are in truth loving life, And to love life through labor is to be intimate with life’s inmost secret.” – Khalil Gibran

Why you should never get a JOB

Posted on April 18, 2013 - July 4, 2015 by Nikoya

By: Nikoya

I dove into the abyss of conventional employment again last year.  This was an act of pure insanity.  For most people getting a job is not such a bad idea, especially if you are working in corporate America. Why? The response is usually because you get medical benefits, a prestigious job title (if your lucky), a steady paycheck, etc.  Maybe even some discounts at various consumer stores and brands.

You get gifts such as company pens and T-shirts too.

You can grow a 401K.  You get to use relatively new technological devices. Most of which are loaded with ancient and worthless software for the purpose of staying connected constantly, to make it look like you are actually working on something important.  Hell, you might even get a quarterly bonus.  Or maybe one day you may get lucky… and receive a raise.


You may also get up to two weeks paid vacation per year! Yep, that’s right… 14 free days out of the 365 days of the year, to attempt to do some real living. Oh, and let us not forget the store boxed cake you get to share with your lovely co-workers once you retire after 30 years! This is the American dream.

Getting a job is outdated, jaded and overrated.  The world needs more people to create and not conform.  Getting a job is for scared, timid losers.  You’ve been sold short if you have a j.o.b.

Submitting to an employee-ism is poison

You commit a soul-crushing, spiritual suicide when you become a corporate drone.  I am not trying to add to the noise online about why you should quit your job, but I feel very strongly about this sort of thing. Simply being the realist I am, the truth comes out plain.  If it makes you cringe, consider the possibility that what is plain might be true.

It is toxic to neglect ones true purpose only  to live comfortably.  It is toxic to sign up for an existence where you are operating lower than 50% of your mental capacity and potential.  It is toxic and deadly to know that you are doing this to your heart everyday and continue to do it.

Selling yourself short on the money

There is a benefit between being comfortable and taking calculated risks.  The entrepreneur takes risks that can ultimately create freedom and generate an un-capped amount of revenue.  Being a corporate drone does not give you that option.  All you have when you walk among the drones is company branded coffee mugs with horrible coffee.

Creating real value that adds to society equals unlimited income potential (for the entrepreneur). Creating repeat crap value, like redundant work in excel and other archaic “software”, gets you to the ‘burbs and back, day after freaking day.  What a life.

You should never get a job

Chances are you are very smart, creative and unique.  So why not live a unique life? Is it worth living a life that has been lived before, day after day? What does it mean to sit and watch the clock Monday through Friday, week after week?

What good is it to live for the weekend? What does that mean anyway? Do you magically come alive during the weekend?  Do you somehow manage to have a lobotomy between Friday at 5pm and 11AM Sunday morning? Or are your weekends simply a drunken blur of bars with fleeting friends and brief moments of entertainment?

Never get a job.

If you have not entered the workforce yet or are thinking about returning to the workforce after a break, think long and hard about it. You will never really have such thriving feelings inside of you about any of your current passions, ideas, desires or dreams for a long while, once you submit to a droned existence. Keep nourishing your gifts and talents.  Take your gifts and talents to your community and provide value, not a corporation.  Keep attaining the correct information on who you are.  This will lead you to success, and not dependability.

Once I entered the workforce I felt drained. It even took too much energy to simply apply to other jobs while employed. Writing a resume was painfully tedious. Filling out an online application was like pulling teeth. Even attending networking events to meet contacts for other opportunities was less than a desired task, plus not productive. Don’t underestimate misery and neglecting your true purpose.  It’s power can take a true toll on your energy levels.

Some people are great at working jobs. They love it. They love the false sense of security, the fluffy job titles, the B.S. job duties. Deep down they may have other things that they say they’d rather be doing than at work, but regardless, they continue to get up in the morning and go to work.

When you ask them why they continue to get up and go to work in the morning, most of them do not have an answer. When you ask them about their dreams and passions, most can’t say shit.

It is like talking to a shell of the person who used to inhabit their body before.


Don’t lose touch in your true potential. This is reason enough to never get a job. See what you can really offer the world.  Don’t sign-up to be a failure; everybody is doing that. Do the opposite.

Try to not live the lie. Be better.
