Every one of us admitting or not, dreams of winning “The Big One”. I’ve seen the line at the Lotto kiosk when the jackpot is pretty high. The hope of becoming an instant multi-millionaire is alluring. It is just a fantasy for majority of people though.
But I do know one thing it does not hurt to dream. In fact it is good for your well being. It gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling, imagining you can have or do anything you ever dreamed of.
This is the alluring fantasy of having that ability. But only the ones that have truly achieved the “Financial Independence” or freedom can experience.
We all know that our chances of winning the jackpot are slim to none. Yet it does not seem to stop people from spending their money on an almost impossible dream. People think that if they win, all of our troubles disappear. The truth is that if we have not learned to address our troubles no matter what our financial situation is, those troubles will not vanish into thin air. The winning money might be your temporary solution, but certainly not permanent. I hurt so many stories about the many winners that became broke shortly after winning.
I think the solution is not the lotto, or the trouble of handling the winning if you are that lucky, is getting there on your own merits. Make your own fortune, instead of waiting for something to fall of the sky.
There many business opportunities all around us, especially in US. Most people in the world are not as fortunate. The only one that gives global opportunities to the average folks is an on-line business, which I personally like.
But you do have to want this. You can’t just sit and wait for something to happen. I remember this statement: you can’t do the same thing, and expect different results. If you tried something and it did not work, try doing it differently or something different.
Most times you need to give a heck of a try, not a half way. To make money you don’t need to be a rocket scientist.
Well let’s get started.
The number one thing is the will. I do say this often: if there is the will there is a way.
The second thing you need is to choose the business you are going to do. Commit yourself to learning to do everything you need to know to succeed. Than, commit yourself and do it. You do need to know how to make yourself successful in what ever you do. Write down your list of goals you want to achieve, keep it with you always and read it to your self every available minute. This will remind you why you are doing what you are doing. It is great motivation on daily basis. By the way, you have to be your own cheer leader and believe in your self, even if there is no one supporting you.
I cheer my self on and constantly reminding myself why I’m doing something. For me it is natural for some it might be a challenge, but do it anyway. I also take time to see what I have done, what I need to improve on, and work on that. Give yourself rewards every time you have passed a roadblock or had some success, even small one.
I have not yet achieved all of my goals, (by the way they are always changing). But I am well on my way to financial freedom. I look for opportunities to always better my self and better my business. They are everywhere we just need to identify ad go for it.
One important thing is thing is; learn how to be successful in one business first, before you jump into another one. The mistake some people make is starting too many businesses, than become overwhelmed and quit. Don’t be that person, but do expand your horizons and create multiple streams of income. Don’t be stuck in one area, succeed in all. The world is full of opportunities; you just need to take them. By the way when you are looking for them, and you will see them.
One other thing, don’t expect something for nothing. Be willing to make an investment for what it is necessary. Don’t believe any one, if they say that you don’t need any money at all to make money. I found this not to be true. Some business, take more money than others. But all require some kind of financial investment. Be prepared and put away some money, so when the right opportunity comes along you will be able to take advantage of it. Another way is to leverage it on credit cards or loans, if you do this, please be responsible and don’t just spend your credit cards on shopping. That’s not using your money wisely. You will be able to spend your money shopping when you have achieved that success. One more thing don’t fall for scam, if it says, that you need to do absolutely nothing and the money will pour in with out any afford at all. Well the truth is that even businesses with automated systems in it, will require minimal amount of your effort. So don’t fall for a scam. The one of my on line business that I do is called “Passport to Wealth”. The possibilities with the on line business are endless, but you will need to put some afford to succeed. If this is not for you its ok, keep looking.
Remember to follow your dreams and don’t let anyone steal them from you. Go out there and make your own riches.
Search for the true riches that will give you the since of pride a filling of an accomplishment, that you will never get from winning the lottery.
Good luck in all of your endeavors.
