Do you really need to read another emotional article about being sick and tired of not being rich? Yes, you do want to get rich. The inside of your head is waiting to explode, you want it so bad!
You want to get rich NOW though, right? . . . RIGHT?
You might even have read a million articles and advice columns all over the internet. “Live below your means” is something you read all the time. It’s absolutely true but that sucks, doesn’t it?
You don’t want people to ask you to create a budget and stick to it or start early or invest now and not touch it until retirement and more along these lines. Why can’t we just increase our income stream instead, and bank the excess?
.
Alright then, get started NOW. Don’t just spend your lifetime in thinking and dreaming. Do something solid now. It may not be the super right thing to do, but do it nevertheless. Just get started. Start working towards increasing your money supply right now.
Edison did not invent the bulb overnight. He just started. He perhaps found some 10,000 odd ways that will not result in a bulb as the end! But alas, he made his creation. He tells the story about how he had found all the ways it wouldn’t work, so that the next thing had to work!
So, start off now. Mistakes are part of the process. You will learn how not to do it the next time. Take action, analyze the results and be flexible. Adjust when necessary.
Remember, it is OKAY to fail. Mistakes are bound to occur. You can’t afford to be too hard on yourself. Most times, success lies behind the last mistake you make, which might even be a 100th mistake you are making. Just don’t stop digging three feet short of the gold!
You want to be rich. You’re just on your way. Pump yourself up and move on. Get closer to your dream. Plan, organize, execute, follow up, adjust and move forward again.
You have loads of energy in you. You’re sick of earning a pittance, aren’t you? You want to see real money come your way now. So here’s what you need to do:
Set the specific goal. First, decide what “rich” is. Riches are different for everyone. Are you referring to Bill Gates rich where you can afford just about anything?
Maybe you don’t really want to work that hard. You want to work less, but still be “rich”. So, the first rule of thumb is – be specific.
Do you want to have a billion dollars, 100 million dollars, or 10 million dollars? Maybe just 1 million dollars would be rich enough for you to be comfortable.
Here’s a quick idea, don’t work! . . . At least, don’t work for someone else. Be your own boss. Well, you can have a job, and also work for yourself can’t you?
Are you going to work to please your boss or yourself? Please yourself first; you will realize that everybody around you will be happier with you if you are first happy with yourself.
So, make yourself absolutely happy first and then you can go about doing that for others. Primary importance is you and you only. Do not forget this. You must take care of yourself before you can take care of anyone else.
Do what you love doing. Commercialize on what you love doing. It might initially seem like you can’t make any money out of it. But concentrate, meditate and THINK of all possible ways to make something work out for you. What you love doing should fetch you money somehow.
Now this doesn’t mean you can play golf all day and earn money. Not unless you’re Tiger Woods! Find some creative ways to make money with something you like doing. You just have to do this.
You can get rich. Just go out there now and do what you love doing. You have a wonderful brain. You just have to tap it and getting that lazy lost thing to start working. Think. Come up with a plan and plunge headlong into it.
Money is just a measure of the value you provide to others. Service to others should always be compensated for in some way. All you have to do is find enough of those people who can afford to pay for your services, and provide value and benefits they want or need, and are willing to pay for them.
Follow your passion and begin to strategize on how to monetize your efforts. Money will follow. Money will follow in great amounts as long as you keep persisting in locating strategies to earn compensation for your efforts. It will.
I apologize if this sounded more like a sermon than a post. After all, I needed a kick in the butt, and this helped me work things out in my own mind . . . GRINS.
See you next time.
