Hey , Lemme guess… it's already turning into another crazy busy week isn’t it? Listen, while you’re so busy rushing around doing all of that "stuff", have you ever stopped to think: What does success really look like? Let me ask another way... Do you define success as finding time to watch CNN or FOX... Arguing politics with people as set in their ways as you are... Scrolling social media... Or watching every new show on Netflix? I doubt it. You probably define success as:
- Having a profitable business or high-paying career - Spending quality time with your family - Making time for your health and hobbies So if that’s your real definition of success, then why spend so much time on “life wasters” like the news, social media, and binge-watching TV? Instead of wasting your time, think about this... In 50 years from now... When you sit in your Artificial Intelligence-powered rocking chair looking back on your life… True success will probably look like this:
1. You made enough money to give your family a great life 2. You made enough time to give your family a great life 3. And you did this through creating a "legacy" business that had a big impact on your community of customers Essentially you changed other people's lives for the better, so that your life could change for the better. Now go back to that list of time wasters... Which one of those contributes to your success? None of them, of course. So here’s where we are, my friend... Right now you might be stuck and struggling down in a painful paycheck prison... Working too many hours for too little pay... Even if you own the business. But where you want to be is up in the Promised Land of Profits… … where you have time and financial freedom that permit you to live life on your terms. You know where you are... And you know where you want to get to... BUT... The big problem is that you do NOT know how to bridge the gap between them. The only way to bridge it is by doing something different. What got you HERE, won't get you THERE. As Einstein said: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. So you can't continue to do this on your own... and expect to get the results you desire and deserve. Something has to change. That's a lot to think about. Let's leave it there for today. With just these two questions... 1. What does success look like for you? 2. And how much longer are you willing to take being unsuccessful and stuck in a rut of bad habits?
