Doug and I went for lunch today at a lakefront restaurant, while there we saw two gentleman searching in the lake and on the shore with metal detectors. They were up to their waists in cold water searching for..treasure I suppose.
I smiled, but also shook my head. I thought; "wow, it's amazing what some people will do to make a little extra money"...but then after a moment of reflecting on that, it's even MORE amazing to me what people WON'T do to make money.
People will spend money on expensive equipment and spend hours scouring beaches to find...whatever...maybe make an extra few hundred dollars in treasure or coins, but they won't take that time to educate themselves on finances, investing or business.
Most Americans will spend countless hours and approximately $70 - 100 a month on Cable so they can watch their favorite Reality TV show, but won't make time weekly to do what must be done to create freedom.Doug and I come across tens of thousands of people saying they want Financial Freedom, they want to be out of debt or at the very least security and peace of mind, but very few are actually willing to do what it takes to get it.
"It is no longer a matter of the "have's" and "have-Not's", but a matter of the "Will's" and Will-Not's"."-Doug Nelson - Catch Fire; How to Ignite your own Economy
Doing what it takes to acheive your financial desires and dreams is not more difficult, it's just different. Educating yourself on how to get where you want to go is paramount and then taking consistent actions on what you have learned. If you do that you will actually move forward to your dreams not just spin your wheels and waste your time on fruitless activities.
The question is this; are you a "Will" or "Will-Not"?
In our book "Catch Fire" we go over financial steps you need to take to create freedom as well as our own personal Business Criteria. You can pre-order the book (a special edition Hard Cover) on our website www.catchfirebook.com
