How Bad Do You Want FREEDOM?!!!By J.R. Fenwick
How many times have you said you wanted something and got it. Something BIG, something Challenging, something LIFE CHANGING. Everyday people tell me they want to quit their jobs, be their won BOSS and control their destiny. Are they just talking or are they really serious and willing to do what it takes to achieve their goal of FREEDOM, whatever FREEDOM means to them.
I have found in my experience that those who achieve FREEDOM have “the eye of the tiger”, no matter what life throws at them they refuse to lose, they keep going, they bend but don’t break, they stumble but don’t fall, they even get knocked down over and over again and they get back up with an even more determined look on their face when everyone else is telling them to “QUIT!”
They are the first ones to pull out their wallet and spend money on themselves, not buying clothes, jewelry, cars and the like, but investing in themselves by buying educational, inspirational and motivational books, tapes, DVD’s and seminars and personal coaching and mentoring. They understand the value of being with “like minded thinkers” and staying away from “nay sayers” and “negative dream busters”.
Being the BOSS can be stressful because you make all the final decisions, the “buck stops with you”. With that in mind, when your business is centered around a passion you have, it does not seem like work. If you have to work long hours, it is more fun than drudgery. When obstacles arise you are more likely to overcome them because of your passion and your odds of being successful in your business are much higher if you have a passion for what you are doing.
When asked They are the ones always talking about their dreams and passions, writing down goals and ideas. They are the ones who do something everyday towards achieving their goal, no matter how small the action.
They are the ones who take risks (sometimes massive risks) and fail and fail and fail and fail and fail and fail and then have the nerve to say that their failures have gotten them one step closer to success.
And then, as if the Universe lines up only for them, they win, win, win! They succeed, they achieve their goal!
