The late, great Jim Rohn was the first person to explain the value of a journey to me. Jim explained that making a million dollars was NOT about owning the money; it was about the journey. As usual, Jim was absolutely right!
That’s because the kind of person we need to become, in order to create 1 million dollars worth of disposable income, is where the REAL value is.
The journey is what’s priceless – not the money
I am a very different person today, to the guy who grew up in a slum / ghetto surrounded by violence and destruction. As a result of my personal journey, I am equipped with the tools that will ensure my son never has to see the things I saw as a kid. By the time I was just 10 years old, I had witnessed 3 murders and at age 17, I was left for dead after being attacked by a gang armed with axes!
Thankfully, at the age of 21, I discovered the power of personal development and 7 years later, I was financially secure for life.
So, when you set your goals and targets for 2010, feel GOOD about putting a BIG financial figure at the top of your list! Ownership of the money is fine, but the improvements you will have to make to your lifestyle and thinking is going to help you, and those you love, far more than the money.
