I believe always learning has "hit the nail on the head" in regard to this topic with the above earlier post.always_learning said:The secret is to first know what you want, focus on it and take clear action towards achieving it!
Want to be rich, focus on being rich, learn about how to get rich and take action to become rich.
Easy to say....bloody difficult to do, particularly in a consistant manner over the time, it take's lots of time/effort to achive a meaningful result.
Most people dont know what they want, dont focus on anything and take any action that is the most plainless for now.
Julie and I wanted to make money out of property so that we could spend our time doing things we wanted without going out to work for a wage each week. After deciding that the above was what we both wanted, we sat down, recognised what our property related skill base was and wrote our goals. We then continued to educate ourselves about property and property acquisition techniques and over time we have trained ourselves to focus on property related info as it comes up in everyday life(news,books,herd talk etc).
As a result of this training, we don't miss much these days when it comes to our related property interests. Our goals are being constantly achieved, in fact the whole goal setting thing has become the foundation for any future endeavours. At first for me, goal setting seemed a little 'airy fairy' but now it has become a science and very 'matter of fact'. Note however, when we goal set we have a simple structure and an order of application to maintain balance in our lives so we don't become obsessive or lethagic(in our own view).
My favourite saying is "If it ain't fun, it ain't worth doing , SO MAKE IT FUN!"
We are all probably guilty of taking ourselves to seriously some times and IMHO NH's book is such a book that may become a catalist for such behaviour. It is one of those books
kind regards
