We are living today in the greatest age in all of human history. There have never been more opportunities for wealth creation and for you to achieve more of your goals, both personal and financial, than exist today. There are more than 100,000 different job categories in the United States, and with the explosion in information, technology and competition, the number of possible things that you could do to be successful is expanding every year.
Look For New Opportunities for Wealth Creation
The major factor driving our society today is the impact of change at all levels. And every single change in our economy creates new opportunities and possibilities for the creative minority to move ahead faster than the average person. Remember the Latin saying, "Carpe Diem!?" It means, "Seize the Day!" This is what you must do. You must "Seize the day!" You must plunge in with both hands up to the elbow and take advantage of every opportunity and possibility going on around you to create the wonderful life that is possible for you today.
The turning point for me came when I realized that nothing happens by luck or by accident. Everything happens for a reason. People are successful and prosperous because they do certain things in a certain way. People are unhappy and frustrated because they neglected to do the things that successful people do.
This insight set me off on a lifelong search for the reasons why some people are more successful than others. If you look for the answers to any question, you will eventually find the answers. What you do with the answers is up to you.
Seize the Day and Set Your Career Goals High
The first answers I found had to do with selling. I found out why some people sold five, ten and sometimes twenty times as much as other people and then I did the same things they did. In one year, I went from the bottom of my sales force to the top of my sales force. In two years, I was in charge of six countries and had 95 people working for me. I went from worn out shoes and one suit of clothes to having three apartments in three different cities, dining in fine restaurants and traveling around the world by jet all because I began to see new opportunities for wealth creation.
In your life, it is very much the same. The most important thing you do at the outset of your career, or at any time during your career, is to find out what the most successful people are doing in your chosen area and then do the same things, over and over again until you start to get the same results. It is no miracle, it is no accident, it is as predictable as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west.
Chose to Become Financially Independent
One of the goals that we all have in common is that we all want to be financially independent. We all want to have enough money so that we never have to worry about money again. You want to build a financial fortress around yourself. You want to make a high income, get out of debt, put money in the bank and have the ability to do the things you want without being preoccupied about the costs. The only question is, "are you going to do it or not?"
The good news is that there are more people achieving financial independence faster today than ever before. There are currently almost four million millionaires, most of them self-made, first generation. Somewhere, somehow, someone becomes a self-made millionaire at the rate of one every four and a half minutes, 365 days a year. And for every person who becomes a self-made millionaire, there are many, many more who are achieving a net worth in the hundreds of thousands of dollars through different wealth creation strategies.
By setting financial accumulation and financial independence as your career goals, and then by making a plan on the one hand to get better and better at what you do while on the other hand saving more and more of what you earn, you will become financially independent, if not a self-made millionaire in the years ahead.
