QUOTE OF THE DAY

“The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty."Winston Churchill

In simple terms, an optimistic view will always come out on top, an optimistic view sees opportunity in difficulty and beauty in the mundane.

YOU HAVE TO GIVE TO GET

In this world there is always a balance, there is always a ying to the yang, a good to the bad, pros to the cons, and failure to success. The world has a strange but wonderful way of making sure there is always balance and this is the same with becoming successful and achieving greatness.

If you want to get you first have to give

, if you're a very logical and scientific person this will seem like voodoo to you as you probably believe in hard work, luck and consistency and as true as those factors are, the way the world has a big part to play. If you want to achieve you have to sacrifice and if you want to obtain you have to lose.

In the wealth creation journey, you'll soon come to realise that in order to make a boatload of money you have to provide a boatload of value, you have to help and solve problems in order to make money through the solutions you provide. Every company in fact has this philosophy. Every company no matter how simple or complicated solves a problem and the extent of the problem that you solve will ultimately determine your reward.

If you want to make a million you have to help a million.

You can either ignore this 'theory' or take onboard the proof that it offers in that if you want to make money you have to give something away, that thing that you can give away is most commonly value and your time.

Whether it's the 'earth's energy' that makes this happen we are not sure but all we can do is take on board what we know to be factual and this idea of giving to get has been documented for centuries in books and success stories, therefore, we would be foolish to ignore it.

ACTIONABLE NEXT STEPS:

First, figure out what it is that you truly want and then find out what it is that opposes it, what is it that creates the balance?

TAKEAWAYS:

Solving problems is the direct path to wealth.
