When I was beginning in business I met a wealthy guy who shared a lot of his wisdom and experiences in making money with me. One day we were sitting talking about the way people form goals on how much money they think they can make.
He asked me how much money was the most I thought I could make in a year being in my 20's. I said back to him, "$50,000 to $100,000 would be great for someone my age and probably what most would say". He said, "yes, you're right, 99% of the young people I ask that question to say the same numbers".
He then got out his checkbook and wrote out 2 checks and tossed them on the floor and told me to reach down and pick them both up at the same time using my left hand for one and my right hand for the other. I did so.
Then he said, "now look at the checks and read out loud the amounts". I said, "one is for $1,000 and the other is for $1,000,000".
Now he said, "tell me which one was harder to pick up off the floor?"
I thought for a second, smiled and said, "they were the same".
Lesson learned!
A check with 6 zero's doesn't weigh any heavier than a check with 2. So why not figure out how to get the first one instead.
Everyone has the same 24 hours in a day. Same access to resources. Same ways to get capital if needed.
No excuses guys, think BIG instead of small.
Its really that simple.
