work it.

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.
