If you are like 97% of the population then chances are you are not willing to do whatever it takes. Everyone I talk to wants to become a millionaire but there is a difference in wanting to become a millionaire and taking action to become one. Most people make up some kind of excuse on why they do not pursue it or why they believe they can not:

1.) Not enough money to pursue a business of their ow

2.) Not enough time to follow through
3.) I do not know how or what to do
4.) I do not believe I can do it
5.) Everything is a scam
6.) I was taught the only way to make money is to work hard

These are just some of the excuses I have heard before, I am sure there are tons more. It is true, that our parents did not teach us, to go out and start a business so that we can become financially independent. They taught you to work hard for someone else, but unfortunately those days are over. If you ever desire to become wealthy you must start some kind of business for yourself.

All the people I ever notice enjoying life and having all the money to do whatever they desire, do not work hard at a job. They are self employed, and love what they do; they provide service to others and while in the process of doing that they become wealthy.

Can you honesty say that "you love your job?" Do you get fulfillment from it? If so congratulations then you have found your path for yourself. I believe everyone should love what they are doing or you should not do it.

I know a lot of people are not motivated by money, after all it is just a tool. A tool which if you have enough of, you can pretty much do anything you desire. Without money you can not:

1.) purchase groceries
2.) pay your bills
3.) go for a night out on the tow

4.) Have a Roof over your head
5.) Spend time with your childre

So why do most people Stay at a job, where they are living paycheck to paycheck? If you knew that you could start a business and in the next 3-5 years you could be a millionaire, would you?

I am on that journey now, and I am willing to do whatever it takes to achieve that. That is the difference between the top 3% in America. In order to reach success, you have to be willing to pay the price whatever it may be.

I once hear someone say if she knew she could become a millionaire in 3-5 years, and she had to pick up dog poop to get there, she would do it. I absolutely know I would do that as well.

So whenever you find your path whatever it may be for you, stick with it regardless of whatever you have to do. You might be forced to do something you do not like doing for awhile, just remember you will not be doing it forever.

Always keep your eye on the goal, and never stop believing. Write your goal down on paper and see it as already being accomplished.

Most of all stay away from negative people. People will not want you to change "Misery likes company" If they have some kind of excuse of staying stagnant they will attempt to keep you there as well.

Most Americans will not have enough money to retire by the age of 65. Set your goals high, do not short change yourself. You are capable of so much more than you know. You just have to have the courage to go out and get it.

We all would love to be millionaires, but the truth is only 3% of people are willing to do whatever it takes.

Starting a business of your own is the best shot to becoming a millionaire and achieving financial freedom. There are all kinds of opportunities available to anyone even if you do not have any experience. You just have to open your eyes and be willing to have enough courage to start one.

If you want you can keep playing the lottery, and hope and pray that you pick the winning numbers and win it big.

Whatever path you choose make sure you choose well. We all know the government is not going to take care of us when the time comes when we require it. Do not wait until it is too late take matters in your own hands, after all it is your life.nnn n

Looking ahead to the New Year and how you expect it to unfold, can be tempting to get absorbed in whatever is currently trending, or whatever is “doom-ing and gloom-ing” at the moment. After all, there’s plenty going on in the world, in celebrity lives, in the constant push of the media, to keep one engaged or preoccupied. Which is great, if such brings you joy. But if, on the contrary, you find you are living someone else’s life via trending, or depressed and distressed by

I have a new cell phone. I didn’t want a new cell phone; I was perfectly happy with my 2020 cell phone, but it wasn’t happy with me. Its connector charging port was ailing. Failing, actually, the service tech told me. And besides, it was an old phone, what did I expect? Old? This to a woman who is more than content, read “thrilled,” to wear outdated fashions just because she likes them. And would willingly keep computers way past their supposed “shelf life.” Sigh. OK, fine,
