It’s not about the bling and fast cars. There’s this guy that’s worth hundreds of millions and he was asked what’s the one piece of advice he’d like to tell the world. It’s this: “It won’t make you happy.” He said he’d put that message in front of every big shopping centre and car dealership. In fact, he said he’d like to train thousands of parrots to say: “It won’t make you happy!” and then release them in malls and stores around the world.
Now again, this guy is worth a lot of money but his happiness and life isn’t fulfilled by getting more possessions. It’s having the freedoms and ability to invest in experiences. I’m curious, what lights you up to be building a business like this? It’s probably not about mansions and lambos, right? Maybe it’s travel or time with your kids/grandkids? More time for date nights, gardening and other hobbies?
Maybe it’s waking when you want and living each day on your terms. Maybe it’s being debt free and being in control of your life and your time. Whatever it is, keep those things bright and clear, front and centre in your mind each day. It’ll help give you purpose and drive to do what it takes to succeed especially those times you’ll be prone to give in to the daily distractions out there. Here’s to experiences and fulfilment over getting more stuff.
