Putting your money where your mouth is
An interesting series of happenings in the last few days. Much as I hate Americanisms, the phrase 'Walk the walk as well as talk the talk' is pretty self-explanatory.
Now, in the last few days, I've come across some great people, all of whom have held down great and well-paid jobs - many still do. They are keen to change their lives, do something with meaning that uses their experience, help others succeed whilst making themselves a better than good income. But do you know what most of them lack? Bottle. Honestly - it's terrifying how many people have been salaried so long that they become bystanders in their own lives.
Now, I'm not saying it's not scary when you first decide to back yourself, but WOW it's exhilarating when you work out you can break through your self imposed barriers and limitations and live the life and earn the money you want!
So, is it only the young who can be brave or are there enough people out there who really do back themselves enough to take a chance on change and really walk the walk? I think so. I'm just reserving my opinion on accountants just now .....
It does strike me though that entrepreneurs are the real warriors - God bless them all!
