There is a book titled “Good to Great” that is definitely a must read. One line in the book says that good is the enemy of great, I had to think about that for a minute to really understand what exactly was being said. As I have mentioned before, I am not the brightest light in the hall. Thank God you do not have to be in order to achieve success in your life, you just have to be willing to work hard, learn new strategies and be persistent with your goals.
I had a conversation with my mother this morning and she said that I had done good with my life so far, most would take that as a compliment and I did as well because it was said with good intentions. However, good is not good enough for me. I am very grateful everyday for all that is good in my life, but I work very hard to make it great. Good enough is for lazy people, good enough makes you complacent in your job and in your life.
I feel that everyone should do what makes them happy, if you are happy where you are in life that is great, but I find so few are happy these days. There are many reasons not to be and many places to point the finger and place blame as to why we are not happy. We must first start with ourselves, I say this because I work with so many different people, all with similar complaints. Most everyone wants to make more money and have more time to spend with family or just doing things that they enjoy.
It will always be difficult to achieve those things working a job. A job controls most of your life and when you trade your time for money you will discover that in order to make more money you have to give more of your time, and that just sucks. Not so if you have your own business, the right kind of business I should say. The secret to freedom is having a residual income coming in, you do the work once and receive the benefit from that work over and over again.
Real estate and network marketing are the best two models that I have discovered that provide me with a residual income. Real estate contains a higher risk than network marketing, but I also believe in being diversified as well. I would never put all of my hopes and dreams into any one thing.
