Derek Jeter is the famous shortstop on the New York Yankees. Imagine if tomorrow they told him he had to become a pitcher, he most likely would be average or worse, right?
Stephen Spielberg is one of the world's greatest film directors. Imagine if tomorrow they told him he had to make his living as a chef, most likely he'd be average or worse, right?
Warren Buffett is the world's greatest investor. Imagine if tomorrow they told him he'd have to make his living as a golfer, most likely he'd be average or worse, right?
Remember this:
We were all born for a certain ASSIGNMENT.
A 'position' in life that our unique talents and skills can serve the greatest amount of people and reap us incredible prosperity.
The closer we are to this POSITION, the place where success is practically guaranteed, the greater our likelihood of massive success.
But, no, no, no.... I say, 'Hold on Mike.' Why do most people never aim to locate their ASSIGNMENT, the PLACE that their success can come naturally and in great abundance?
Here's my answer. INVESTMENT.
'Mike, what do you mean?' Let me explain.
Most people don't INVEST the time necessary to locate their position they were born for.
Most people don't INVEST enough in themselves to cultivate their natural strengths.
Most people don't INVEST enough in discovering how to create a cash windfall in turning what they enjoy doing into a business.
Imagine a snowstorm in Chicago in the middle of winter. You can have that same avalanche of 'cash flakes' flying into your bank account EVERY day, interested?
Or. Imagine this.
You're 91 years old. You're sitting on the front porch of your home. You start thinking about so many of the great things in your life, but then a regret finds its way into your mind. You get sad because you never turned something you enjoyed into an empire of profits. You rock back on your chair and you sigh. A tear could form, if you let it. You never jumped on the bus called the 'Financial Freedom Express'.
You were born with a gift, wrapped and all. A unique gift. Now it's your job to find it, build it, share it, or you can enjoy the regrets on your front porch.
Will you sit on the bench or step up to the plate and hit one out of the park? That decision is yours, not mine.
