THE PATH OF YOUR DESTINY

It does not take a genius to figure out that you are never going to make a fortune by being an employee of a company on a salary . Even the CEO and President of companies can be fired and out of a job at anytime.

Many people have the fantasy of becoming celebrities,singers, actors ,sports stars, where we make millions every year and are living la vida loca. This is a very false path to wealth. We have all read the head lines. We know the story of MC Hammer , who was one of the most successful in his hey days, within the blink of of an eye he became penniless and declared bankruptcy.

Coolio ,was one of the most aired rappers in the 90’s ,Gangsta’s Paradise was a hit all around the world. Where is he now ?

We have known the stories of sports stars; Football players,Basket Ball Players who get injured ,are dropped or retire and from having 6 cars ,and 4 homes are now filing for bankruptcy and appearing on “has been” celebrity reality shows. They have lost their homes, their cars have been repossessed and all their assets have been sold to pay off debts and pay the tax man (Uncle Sam).

Only in the past ten years have we seen celebrities wised up and started making investments and diversifying their portfolio. As teenagers and college students, many of us have worn the Sean Johns, Roca Wear ,Wu Wear etc . People like Jay Z have invested in real estate, own restaurants. People like 50¢ (Fiddy) have branded them selves . We know the story of his $300 million vitamin water he has his G Unit shoes and clothing line, his record label, and many other investments.

I use theses names not to glorify or exalt what they do, but to point out a key thing with is INVESTMENT. Now, they could have sat down and waited for their royalty checks to come in, which would have been more than enough to live a very good life. They could have been satisfied with the comfort of only using their time and talent for money just like their predecessors . They however choose to be different they saw a chance to live larger than their dreams and they took it. They made investments, in companies,businesses and ideas. Which have made them 300% more fortune than they would ever have made performing and selling records.

Many of us will never become platinum selling recording artists, nor would we be paid $20 million per movie, but does this mean that we can not be financially free? Does this mean that we have to live a 9 to 5 life exchanging our time for money?

THANKFULLY NO.

There is a saying that goes

“Success is not something to be pursued, but something that is drawn to the person that you become.

There is another saying that goes

“You have got to build the man before you build the money”

I guarantee you that if you do the research of 99.9% of lottery winners all around the world, within 2 years time or a maximum of 7 years if they last that long ,they are completely broke, even worse off than they were before they won the lottery. Why is that? Because they do not have the right or appropriate mindset. They did not sit down to think of how this new situation would remain permanent, all they had on their minds was SPEND SPEND SPEND. Their minds were not changed despite their situation.

Look at it this way, imagine you find a house,one of those creepy old houses from the movies.One that has faulty foundations, shaky walls, creaking ceilings, and peeling paint. What if you paint that house ,with the most expensive emulsion paint, and get it looking brand new, the key word being “looking”. We have the house looking new, but it is still the same old house. It has changed on the outside but not on the inside, and pretty soon it would return to it’s former state.

It is insanity to keep doing the same thing and expect different results. We can not have a 9 to 5 ,despite the bonuses, and the raises and expect to be wealthy. If we do not invest those salaries or bonuses instead of splashing out on a new car or suit when we get that extra cash we will always remain in the same financial situation.

If you speak to any millionaire or billionaire. If you speak to anyone that is financially successful and on their own companies. Whether it be Richard Branson,Donald Trump or Robert Kiyosaki , they all talk about one thing. Personal Development. They all are constantly reading books, attending seminars, listening to motivational messages. They have a constant thirst for knowledge and they spare no cost to get it. They are always up to speed with what is happening and do not waste time on mundane things like many of us do. Are any of these guys geniuses, no not according to MENSA ratings. CAN WE DO WHAT THEY DID ?, YESSSS.

We often worry and complain about our financial life, but very few of us take the steps to make it better. We wait for others like our bosses, family, or the government, to make that change.
Do today what others don’t, to have tomorrow what others won’t.

A formal education will make you a living, but self help will make you a fortune.

-Jim Rohn

For many of us , we constantly heard, go to school, get straight A’s if possible, pass SAT or A levels and get into University so you could land a good job, where they can have “job security” and get a pension to retire on.


Renowned business man and motivational speaker Jim Rohn says “Profits are better than Wages”.

Profits will make you wealthy, Wages will keep you surviving.

Many of those in paid employment , the job that you have means Just Over Broke, where there is more month at the end of the money. If the money you earn now is barley enough to cover all your bills and save just a little. Why on earth would that be enough to survive on when you retire!

The fact is that many of us We’ll think nothing of spending hundreds, on fuels for our vehicles, but very little on fuel for our minds?-Matt Morris(Author: 7 Secret to 7 figures &  The Unemployed Millionaire)

We would spend money on a suit, or a movie ,but can not spend a fraction of the cost to on a book to educate our minds.Yet we fantasize about wealth but are not ready to take the pains,take the necessary steps to make those things come to pass.

There is a plethora of books that we can learn from, only a click away at Amazon, EBay . Instead of buying music off i tunes that you would soon get tired of, buy a book. If you can not buy ,borrow from your local library. One thing i want to point out it that if you make the commitment to buying a copy for your self, that shows the dedication you have to change your life.

If you don't intend to start your own business, but wish to plug in, to an already established company, that can help you start on the path to financial freedom. you may want to consider a home based business.

Home Business or Network Marketing, has given financial freedom to more people, and created more millionaires than any other industry.


If you want to invest in one, do your due diligence and investigate which would work best for you.

investigate before you invest

Find a company whose products you can get passionate about and stay with for the long term partnership. A great team that can help you towards achieving your financial freedom.

There are many companies out there, travel, nutrition, telecoms and a variety of other products, each with it's own unique compensation plan.

If you are interested in searching for a home based business with a great team and plan. With a low start up cost ,you could radically change the course of your financial future.
