What Does it Take?
I subscribe to Esquire, I pick up GQ monthly, and read fashion blogs, tech blogs, and every type of blog that could possibly inspire me to want “things”. Every little boy dreams of owning a big house and a fast car, but do we actually know what it takes? The simple answer is - “Only millionaires have those things”. That is probably true, or at least $300,000+ gross incomes, but it’s not a realistic goal to set.
When I say the word ‘millionaire’, what flashes through your mind, or better yet - Who? I bet it’s hollywood, NYC, business tycoons, celebrities. Was I right? Probably. Real life isn’t like that. If 100 of you are my age, I bet in 10 years at the most 1 of you will have an established name nationwide. Chances are none of you will*, just because statistically it is very improbable. What is more probable is that you will have an established name in your community, or industry. This is something that can be just as fulfilling, and could have an equal pay off.
So here I sit. Still curious as to how much it takes to get to the top. I still wonder where the top is. From where I am now, I can’t fathom the top. So with that in mind- I might as well just keep going until I’m there, and when I get there - I’ll keep going.
Where do you want to be? What do you want to do?
Show me your dreams.
*I encourage you to be successful, by “none of you”, I was speaking statistically. Reach for the stars.
