Life Improvement Tips For The Wise Few

When I was little, I was given the nickname; “Skinny”. I was really thin and many kids tried to tease me. Do notice I said tried, because I was very defensive, and I would start to tease or find something that was wrong or create a fault on them to tease them about.

I never hated the nickname and it kind of stuck amidst many of my school friends. Many of them never found a way to loose that nick. But, as I grew older I got many more nick names, like: Sap, Shirl, Shawn and Sappotang. The nicks never bothered me, because every one in our village had nicknames. Some of them was horrible. Some kids that we grew up with was only known by their nick, you never really knew their real name.

From a very young age I always dreamed of being rich, I also gave myself the nickname, “Mr. Millionaire”, because that was what I actually wanted to be. I would always come up with great ideas, and tell people about my ideas, they would implement them and I would never receive a cent.

Staying Focus Was My Biggest Problem

Somehow, I soon realized that many of my dreams faded as I got older, because every time I went into a partnership with someone it always ended up that they had the money to put up and I got the short end of the stick.

There was a time when I really got my eye set on making big money with Real Estate investing. I jumped into a deal with my brother, and at that moment I also owned my own Grocery Store. I was only 26 years, and things was looking up for such a young kid.

I always said that my hands wasn’t to be used for hard labor, my brain would create the wealth. And, that is why I never like hard work, I was very lazy from young, only liked thinking and working with my brain and a computer.

Me and my brother Herbert got into Real Estate investing and really racked up some great properties. But, I have to be honest, he was the one putting up the money I was the one writing the letters and doing all the negotiations with the banks or the brokers.

I was actually seeing my dream come true, my dream was to own rental properties all over the Caribbean on many of the Touristic Attractions. We started on St. Maarten and soon had more than a Million Dollars worth of assets. Things was looking great.

Working Harder And Not Smarter

I was working from 6:30 A.M. until 10:00 P.M. each and every day. Didn’t have any off days, and my body was really showing signs of how tired I was. One day while going down Colebay hill during busy traffic, I stooped in a Traffic Jam and fell asleep behind the wheel, I bumped the car in front of me, nothing major, no damage, but I knew then that I couldn’t continue on like this.

So, I told my brothers that this business wasn’t for me, it is draining me, I fall asleep everywhere I go and today I fell asleep while in traffic.

They asked what I was going to do, I said well get a job for a couple years, and then open up another business that will be much easier to manage.

After giving up that business, I found a job, the one I have now with the Local Telephone Company. I really had a hard time listening to people who knew nothing about business that were running this company. They were running the company on impulse and not using any kind of planning.

Well, a couple of weeks later, my brother approached me with a paper to sign over the Real Estate business in his name and that really took the wind out of my sail. I suddenly saw all my dreams come crashing down in front my eyes. I signed that paper without a fuss, and then I simply gave up on all my dreams.

I have never ever spoken about this before, because I honestly believed that we had a partnership going that would grow so big, that I would be a Millionaire before my thirtieth birthday. I gave up that dream and said I would no longer share my ideas with anyone or do any partnership programs with anyone if I didn’t have half the money to put into the deal.

from that moment my life became a try this and a try that, not focusing on anything. All I was doing is stumbling and loosing money. No focus, no plan, I was becoming like the people I worked with. Just focused on self interest and greed. Nothing worked, I was failing miserably.

How Do You Get Back That Burning Desire?

As time went by, I was just dropping behind and I actually stopped reading motivational books and thinking about becoming a millionaire. I now got my mind focused on one goal. The flame is burning again and my mind is focused on that Millionaire dream once again. I am now using a different vehicle and one that I control, no partners, just me and the Internet. I am looking to use the Internet to fulfill that lost dream.

I never hated my brother for what happened, but I always realized that brain power alone can’t make a million dollars, it takes action. Do a little everyday, and only do what will keep you moving towards your goal.

But you have to set your goal very low at first and then grow this goal.

My first goal was to make a $100 (One hundred dollars) monthly online, I have conquered that goal, I then set the next goal for $500 (Five hundred dollars), I have also bypassed that goal, netting over $1000 (One thousand dollars).

Now I am setting my next goal:

In it’s own perfect time, for the highest good of all, I am now earning $3000 (Three Thousand Dollars) Monthly from my online business, in an easy and relaxed manner, in a healthy and positive way.
