Ok. So what really is the key? I have my business, it's successful, and growing fast.. But how do I accelerate things? How do I really achieve FASTLANE?
My question comes this morning from an audio program I listened to by one of my idols and mentors Tony Robbins. Of course the subject was finances and creating wealth. He used the words "financial freedom" but I don't think that was the right term.
This is the first time I don't think he has the right answer. While he is extremely successful, I don't believe he is really teaching what he does or did. He basically gave the "diversify, save, and some day you'll be rich" speech. I don't understand. Someone who is so committed to being the best at everything, I don't believe that's what makes sense!
The advice he gives us from successful people he has worked with. Sir John Templeton, Warren Buffet, etc. "save $150 a month. Invest in stocks for compounding money. Do this for 40, 50, 60 years and you will have 70, 80 or 90 million dollars!! Imagine the legacy you could leave behind!" .... While I do want to leave a legacy... Why can't I enjoy the kind of life you live Mr. Robbins? THAT is what I want! He goes on to give examples of several people, one in particular gentlemen worked at UPS for 70 some odd years and invested extra money in stocks and when he passed away he had 96 million dollars! 36 million he donated! The rest he left to his family! ... Great... But... Working for 70 years... At the same place... And dying before the real chance to experience everything that kind of money can buy... Not for me. Am I being greedy? How come he gives this advice when, while he might do that, he has 100s of millions. And he is much much younger than that...
Maybe MJ is willing to speak on this? I'm sure the subject will be in the book, but my goals need to be sped up. I set my massive goals. I don't know how I'm going to do it yet, but I am absolutely committed to making 10,000 a month before September 26th of next year.
What accelerates money? I read so many stories of people that had nothing (like myself) and created a vast empire in the matter of a year! Hell, Mr. Robbins went from making 20,000 a year to a million a year in LESS than a year!!! How did he do that? That's not what he revealed in his program. He gave the standard save, invest (in stocks specifically), and diversify.
while I am typing this on my phone from my home office (my bed), John Beck's real estate program infomercial is on about buying tax leined foreclosures. Buying 100k houses for $10-300 bucks. Where these people are bragging about $180,000 profit. While that is great, you bought several houses for 500 bucks, you should be profiting millions ridiculously quick!
Ug. Frustrating question, how do I achieve my 10,000 a month income goal by.. Well I have 11 months to go! I am so happy to be able to ask this question though. Just a short period ago I was asking things like "I haven't eaten in 2 days... How can I get some food?" I was so poor I didn't know what to do. Now I started my business like I said. Money is not an issue for basic need any more. But I want MORE. I want to be fast lane. Period!
So I guess the overall question is: how do I drop gears and start racing instead of getting there "some day"?
