Tonight I was faced with yet another dilemma with my car. It would not start due to a bad fuel pump. This has happens often times and even though I know what causes the problem to this ongoing situation, trying to fix it seems more of a headache. Let’s not forget to mention that it is now time to renew my tag and living in Atlanta I need to pass an emissions test. Now Behold more problems that I must attend to. Now to some people the easy solution is to take it to the mechanic and PRESTO problem solved.
YES but it’s not that easy.
Why not courey its a pretty simple solution.
Being that as it is there is more to the story. Since my car is an older model, 2000 to be exact, yes my car is 17 years old maybe older because you know they make the models a year before the existing year. So finding the parts are not that easy to find and when you find out that the previous owner did some of his own, lets just say bootleg mechanic work, it causes more trouble to fix it.
Being in this situation, every time it always leads me to ask the question or more of me telling myself, “this is why I want to be successful.” I want to create enough income so I can buy a new car and provide for myself the option of financial freedom to handling these problems. With the option of a newer model vehicle I would not have to be encumbered by unknown mechanical issues. Why because I would not be subject to buying any car from any random person just because I am limited by my income. Instead I would be able to buy at a higher level getting what I want and not settling. I want to live my life as a person who is smart in how I do things. Yet everyday I get in my car it is a constant reminder to why I need to improve myself so become successful.
So in acknowledging my situation and circumstances, I am consciously making the choice of not just to simply complain and stay in the same position. Yet, constantly making a conscious effort to change how much income I can produce as well as the lifestyle I want to create for myself.
Which leads me to my true discussion…
I just bought this new book, maybe you might have heard of it….
The 4 Hour Work Week
you can check the book out ==>HERE
I bought this book because I have been recently studying opportunities to transfer from the average 9-5 job and create an online business that will help me reach a point of financial freedom. Which will help me to experience life in a whole new light and create breathless moments often.
The many videos and entrepreneurs I have been studying on youtube, as well as topics on drop shipping, have mentioned this book more than once so I thought I would check it out myself. I heard many speakers and successful men say “the best investment you can make is in yourself”. Knowing this I decided to add this book to my library collection. I am not gonna lie, I hesitated to buy the book, not because I didn’t want to but because Youtube had an audiobook version, which can be found below. So I thought “should I still buy?”. Ironically the more I listened the more I was convinced to purchase the book.
So I made the decisions to fork over the cash and invest in myself. I am now trying to commit myself to reading the knowledge of whats in this book and study it like my life depends on it because–it does. Moreover, not only study but apply the action steps. I want to escape the idea of what we have been taught that the only way we can make money is by trading our time for cash, but live like the new rich. The ones who don’t work in their business but on it and having the automated systems to have it run for you.
I have been reading and studying online businesses so much I just believe that its going to work and if it doesn’t I will make it work in some way. I will keep trying till I succeed. I told myself that this year will be the year of the money for me so I need to keep trying until I find what works and grow it. Reading and hearing the ideas and concepts in this book just seem to make sense to me.
Even if this means I have to push myself out of my comfort zone and sacrifice a few hours and some enjoyment to create a better lifestyle for my future, but not only mine my future family while I am still single then I will do it. I believe it’s the top 5 that is willing to do more than the rest who succeed because they stuck to their beliefs, goals, and ideas until they saw them come to life.
That is why even with this blog I will push pass my feelings of not feeling like doing this and just suck it up and post something consistently. This will serve as my record of where I have been and where I will be. I know it can also serve as some motivation for those who read this, because who doesn’t have the feeling of not doing work. Yet, it is those who are consistent who succeed from what I understand. And I want to be successful.
Therefore I will suck up my negative, doubtful, ill gotten, lazy, incosnistent thoughts and push through it all to get to my desired end game which will not be the end game but just the beginning. So what I started doing is feeding my mind with positive, inspirational and motivational talks and videos to help me get to the next level. Even if it only gives me 5 mins of inspiration to crank out a portion of creating content for a post or product research then it has gotten me an inch closer to my goal. It is the small inches and insignificant conscious efforts that add up to great things.
So I basically put myself on a fast. For when I have the chance to listen to something I’m going to choose it to be of some educational value, like the 4 hour work week audiobook or something inspirational to help me push forward to my goals.
