| Are you insane? | | | | Jimbob tried that and failed". This is a good one, |
| Now before you answer too quick...think about it. | | | | "you've got a good job". |
| And don't get mad, I'm not trying to insult you. | | | | Pigs don't know pigs stink. |
| Just think. Here is what Einstein says the definition | | | | Maybe you do have a good job, but is it truly |
| of Insanity is: "doing the same thing over and | | | | what you want to do. Is it going to allow you to |
| over again and expecting different results." | | | | reach your goals and dreams? All you have to do |
| I'm going to go out on a limb here. I'm willing to | | | | to answer that question is look at the last five |
| bet you are not as happy as you thought you | | | | years.(I'm assuming you have been in your |
| would be at this point in your life. This is also | | | | position for at least five years). If you don't do |
| assuming you are at least out of high school and | | | | something different, how are the next five going |
| maybe even a college graduate. Kudos if you are | | | | to be any different? Were the last five what you |
| living and have found your dream. My hat goes | | | | expected. |
| off to you. | | | | Now don't get scared. To truly answer this |
| When you were in high school you had big | | | | question, look at someone who has been doing |
| dreams. You wanted the fast car, custom | | | | what you're doing for twenty, maybe thirty |
| motorcycle, power boat, 4x4, ATV, dirt bike, | | | | years. Is that where you want to be down the |
| home in the mountains or on the beach. You had | | | | road? If it is, great...but if it isn't you better start |
| your eyes set on something. Then reality hit. You | | | | doing something different now. At least start |
| got your first job and soon realized that your | | | | looking for what it is you want to do. Start |
| paycheck was not going to go as far as you | | | | reading books like "Think and Grow Rich" and |
| wanted it to. By the time you paid rent, utilities, | | | | "The Magic of Thinking Big". Chances are you |
| and went out for the weekend with your buddies | | | | have been around some negative people for |
| that baby was almost gone. It might barely last | | | | awhile who are living miserable lives. It's not |
| until next pay day. Especially if you only got paid | | | | because they are miserable people but because |
| two times per month. | | | | they "settled" for whatever they could get. They |
| What if you double your income though. I'm not | | | | went to school and got a "good job" because |
| talking about "doubling" your income like you're | | | | that's what everybody else does. And that's what |
| thinking though. I'm talking about how most | | | | everyone told them to do. It's not what they |
| "double" their income. They get married. Now this | | | | wanted to do. |
| may double their income, or close to it, but the | | | | Pigs don't know pigs stink. |
| expenses almost quadruple. Especially when you | | | | If you are still walking, talking and breathing it's not |
| have kids. | | | | to late to start living your dreams. You won't be |
| If you are like most people, someone, | | | | happy until you do. Colonel Sanders didn't start |
| somewhere has presented you with or you have | | | | franchising until he was 65 years old. Ray Kroc |
| come across a "business opportunity". Maybe you | | | | was in his late 50's when he bought McDonalds. |
| even thought of a business you could start on | | | | Oh yeah, and they were both told how crazy |
| your own. Or buy a franchise. What happened | | | | they were and their ideas wouldn't work. |
| when you told your friends and family? Mr. and | | | | Get started today, now. If not now, when? If not |
| Mrs. Negative? I'm sure they call the Naysayers | | | | you, who? Someone right now is putting their plan |
| and they all were ready and willing to give you | | | | in action to live their dreams. The only thing |
| their opinion. "That won't work" or "are you crazy, | | | | stopping you...is you. |
