"One day Karyn decided she was no longer willing to commute in smog laden traffic to sit in a cubicle for eight hours, come home, eat, sleep, wake up and do it all over again."
I cannot tell you how many times that line or one similar to it has caused me to lose a lot of money. It goes right to the heart does it not? Who hasn't felt trapped in a job going no where. Who isn't looking for the gold watch and endless summer days rocking on the porch. And what does that mean anyway?
People are looking for freedom, plain and simple. Freedom to do all that you would do if given the time and resources to do them, right? The definition of freedom will be different for each of us but the common factors will be the same, money and time. And that is what got me in trouble.
I am an easy mark for the easy sleaze. Yessir, I am on the look out for doin it the simplest and fastest with the leastest amount of effort, aren't you? I just know that the latest guru has the answers to wealth and freedom without any effort. Man, I dream of winning the lottery or getting a huge inheritance. Dream on bucko. Well dreamin ain't gettin, know what I mean? It takes action and a plan.
Having growed up on a farm hard physical labor is nothing new to me. I really like getting sweaty and all. But that ain't gonna get you rich. Money wise that is. So I spent 20 here, 30 there looking for just the right formula to get me to richdom. That won't get you rich either. It will get someone rich, just not you. But it did get me an education. An education on what will get you rich.
In all that I've read from all the various multimillionaires is this: decide what you want, have passion about it, put a plan in place to get it, act on your plan. And never give up. That is the formula for success in whatever you do, in all areas of life. Now, you don't need to spend 20 here or 30 there to find out. Use that money for yourself and let the gurus get rich off someone else.
