Ahhhh yes, another Monday morning and another 5:30 AM wakeup. How many times in the last month have you rolled over in the morning and said "I would do ANYTHING to never have to wake up to this alarm again." But instead of doing something about it, we slosh out of bed, crawl to the shower, head into work, suffer through another grueling day, come home, watch TV, and head to bed, only to repeat this whole process again the next day.
My friends, the goal of this blog is to break you out of this life sucking cycle. To get you to step back, look at your life, and realize that although changing your ways may be difficult, it is worth it.
These motivational posts are designed to push you to do just that. Provide you with the goals and encouragement to come home from work, and rather than just crashing in front of the TV, to spend a few hours plowing along on your path to prosperity. For me, this epiphany struck about two years ago. Reading one of the most amazing books on the market, The Four Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss, I realized that there truly is more to this life than my nine to five. The book tells Timothy's story, his means of acquiring wealth and more importantly, his means of spending it. Trips around the world, "mini-retirements" to other countries, exotic cars, and most importantly, never having to wake up to that 5:30 alarm clock. While I will speak of Ferriss' methods for accumulating wealth later, this article is more about one of the key motivations that pushed both him and I to spend more time pursuing wealth.
I have already spoken slightly about the cars (With more to come of course! I love cars!), and I will discuss the travel and the "mini-retirements" in later motivational posts. For now, lets discuss the most important aspect, working when you want and ONLY when you want. As Ferriss and I will both openly admit, starting a successful business is not easy and will require hard work and sacrifice. But if the right path is chosen, most businesses can eventually be automated(Don't worry, this will be discussed in several later posts!), allowing you to have your life back.
Just imagine waking up on a Monday morning, checking a few emails, making some phone calls, and then moving out to your back porch for some coffee. After which you can do ANYTHING you want! Feel like taking a long shower, playing video games, reading, visiting friends or family, going for a nice brunch, cruising in your convertible, or going for a nice boat ride? You can! This kind of freedom is usually only available for kids and retired people, but that is all about to change. Work hard for a few years now and then reap the rewards!
As the old saying goes, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. This blog will lead you to the waters of wealth, and hopefully with a little push, you will drink and enjoy the wonderful rewards that will ensue. Close your eyes, visualize that perfect day off, and then realize that YOU CAN relive that day over and over again!
Now turn off that TV and get to work! The rewards are worth it!
