Don’t pull back PUSH FORWARD!
I am on a rant so please bear with me…
I have been listening to people all week talk about how bad the
economy is and how everyone should save and not spend, as “a
dollar saved is a dollar earned”.
That’s INSANE - A dollar saved is eaten away by inflation every
second!
This year (2008) food, eggs and milk alone have gone up
between 15% and 30%. Food lines are up nationwide by 10 -25%
Gasoline prices, home loans…Do I need to say more??????
On the other hand, a dollar earned is getting one ahead -
It is ahead of inflation.
So “What has this to do with my business?”
you ask. If you focus on savings you and your business will end
up broke or lower middle class at best - that’s right - if you
focus on savings you and your business will end up broke or
lower middle class at best, no one ever made it to being financially
free by saving, they made it by investing. You can’t save enough to
beat inflation.
Savings is focusing on squandering. You cannot grow if you squander.
Earning is focusing on growing which focuses on abundance. You will
grow if you FOCUS ON ABUNDANCE. Savings is slow. Earning money is
faster; savings do not compound by more than 5% per year and inflation
was more than that in 2007. Don’t pull back, push forward; don’t be
foolish with your money but invest in yourself and in your business.
Your ability to make more is in your ability to be more and that only
comes with investing and growth.
Today I had a conversation with a small business owner who realized
$7000 in profit in his pocket in one month by coaching with me.
I was amazed -he will not spend $1500 for additional profit
potential because, as he says, he is saving $50 per day.
Really??????
Does getting 5% interest on $1500 make sense???? - Or - Does getting
$7K on a $1500 investment make sense to you??? If you gave me $1500
and I gave you $7000 how long will you keep doing that?
See, he is focused on savings not investing…
I can predict his future, which is he will not grow unless he changes
his thoughts - he can’t. The law of compounding is working against
him, not FOR him - so don’t pull back, PUSH FORWARD. Do not get caught up
in the media nonsense about how you should be pulling back.
These are the same sensationalist who told you to buy negative
amortization mortgages - these are the same people that several years
from now will tell you how great the economy is getting and that you
should have invested in real estate during the low times (which is now).
Now if real estate is not your thing that is fine but invest in something
like developing your mind and your business skill sets especially when
times are low. It is the only way out of it. The same level of thinking
that creates the scarcity never solves the problem created with that
scarcity level of thinking.
Ok I am done with my rant… Don’t pull back PUSH FORWARD!
To Your Success!
