If you want the results you need to put in the work. You want 6 pack abs the work is diet and
exercise, you want your house clean then you need to clean it. You want
financial stability you have to either work hard to earn more money, start a
side business and sacrifice other areas of your life or live well below your
comfort level and sacrifice how you live. It seems that most people either have
success (at least at the start) or they have a family. Because all successful
business owners know that a start up is not an 8-5 job.
The point is this.
People today want the benefits without putting in the time, without
doing the work and without making the sacrifice. They look at the self made people and say I
want what they have, or that SOB why can
he have that and I can’t. I can probably
assume that whoever ‘has’ those things has put in the time and made the
sacrifices. Maybe they have that boat because they have a home that is 1/4 of what they could actually afford, that guy
with the big house, maybe he lived someplace smaller than she wanted for a long
time. It is all about what you are willing to give up now in hopes of having
what you want in the future.
THERE ARE WAYS TO GET WHAT YOU WANT WITHOUT THE
SACRIFICE. But everyone needs to be on
board, family, girl friend/wife (GF/W),
kids, friends everyone. Yes EVERYONE in
your life. I have friends that have their
own business and I can say that we do not get together once or twice a week
like many people I know because we are all very busy with work. We may not see or talk to each other for
weeks but when we do get together it is a quality time that makes all the
difference. It seems that people always find others that have gone through (or
going through) similar situations. For the GF/W it is a little different
especially if you are not living together. You both need to understand that not
only will time together be limited but if you are both on different schedules
you need to make sure that time together is quality time.
When everyone is not on board one might feel (or even be
told) that they are not heading down the right road. There are 2 outcomes from this, if the work
was started before there was a we creates one outcome, if the work was started after then it has a
completely different beginning. The question is how do you handle this.
There will be more on my view of people, relationships,
friends and family through my twisted view of the world where everyone is
inherently good even if they do bad things.
