If you are stuck in the past, you are not moving forward.
If you want to be financially secure, then why are you still working the 9-5 job that only pays you enough so you can’t afford to quit? If, you keep doing the same things you did in the past “A slave to the time clock”, you’re stuck in the past. Because you want to become financially secure! Ask yourself this question and then answer it with the truth. From the first job you had till now, Have you become financially secure? If you answered “NO”, then you are stuck in the past. You are not moving forward to becoming financially secure.
These days and times, there is no such thing as job security. If you keep punching the old time clock you will always have what you have now. NO FREEDOM, IN DEBT, LIVING JUST ABOVE THE POVERTY LEVEL. STRUGGLING FROM PAY CHECK TO PAY CHECK. That is your future if you don’t change your way of thinking and your actions.
What are you going to tell your children and grandchildren? Work hard for your money! Not me! I would rather tell my children and grandchildren that they would have a better chance at retiring financially secure by playing the lottery.
I would feel like I’m lying to them if I told them to work hard for their money, only to retire broke. Hey, if you haven’t achieved it yet, do you really think they will. Things will be a little tougher when they grow up. I think you already know this without being told.
The only way you or your children and grandchildren will ever become financially secure is to work for your self. There is no glory in becoming a slave to the time clock. It’s only a waste of precious time that you will never get back. Time frozen in the past.
OK HERE IS THE SOLUTION!
If you truly want to become financially secure, then start moving toward success. Stop putting off your future or you will arrive broke. I guarantee!!!
Take chances! Invest in your future! From my experience, I think the Internet holds the key to our future. WHY? You know that if you are going to become financially secure, you have to be selling something, RIGHT?
Ok, lets say you want to open your own gift ship. OK you apply for a loan, say %50,000. You purchase a building for $30,000. Now you have to buy insurance, say $200 a month, that comes to $24,000 a year. Now you have to buy merchandise to sell. Say $5,000 worth. Now you are open and ready for business.
Now, I’m going to give you another break. Say you have 1,000 people walk by your store. OK 600 drop in. 500 of them makes a purchase. Now that is your business for that day, and you go home after working from open to close, say 8 AM to 5 PM.
I don’t know about you, but that still sounds like a slave to the time clock at the expense of $50,000 dollars.
NOW HERE IS MY IDEAL BUSINESS!
I TURN ON MY COMPUTER, GET ME A CUP OF COFFEE, SEARCH THE internet for Home Business opportunities. I come across a great sounding Home Based Business. Hey, and for only $100. I can get my own website put together for me. And I will have 5 streams of income all from this one website. And all it cost me is $100 a month.
And one of the amazing things I like about it is. I don’t have to purchase any merchandise whatsoever. It’s all Here with the one website that I now own. Now my only one task that I have to do and do it aggressively is ADVERTISE the heck out of my website. Now don’t get me wrong, you will not become rich overnight. But with a lot of patience and steady advertising, I will become successful in time. But I can’t tell you enough. You have to be an aggressive advertiser. Get serious about your future, no one else will.
Take care of you and the rest will take care of itself. Stop looking back at your 9-5 job, only work it long enough till your income from your Home Based Business out produces your income from your 9-5 job. Then and then, tell your boss.
You have to start slowly and let go of your past. You can’t straddle the fence. Put as much effort into your new Internet Business as you did your 9-5 job. And in time, it will pay off. Never slack off and stop advertising your website. To make your Home Based Business pay off, you have to advertise it continuously.
Remember, you are in control of your future. If your business fails or if it is successful, you are to blame and no one else. And I will tell you the truth “the only way that your business will fail is if you quit”. PERIOD. It’s all up to you. How bad do you want to be financially secure? Don’t be a quitter, be a doer. A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.
FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION!!!!!
Just make your dream happen. Stay focused.
