Do you love what you do?

I think that most of the really successful entrepreneurs know how to have fun while developing themselves, their ideas, and their businesses.

There is an old joke about small business owners only having to work half a day, and it doesnt matter which 12 hours they are. If Labor Day means grabbing a day off, great. If it means rededicating yourself to bringing out your inner financial genius, even better.

I read several books while I was on vacation last week. Robert Shemin’s literary contribution borrows heavily from the likes of Arnold Patent, Wallace Wattles, Robert Kiyosaki, Brian Tracy, and Harv T Eker, so he is in good company. To become wealthy, all we need to do is to implement one good idea, and we never know what will be the catalyst for it. Check him out, he has some valuable insights.

I loved his Wealth Wall; it’s an interesting remastering of the wealth collage that will keep us focused on our goals.

His best premise: Rich Idiots get that way by having laser-like focus and taking action, while smart people tend to overanalyze opportunities and miss them in an attempt to be “perfect” or reduce risk. They create real estate and business assets that produce income and reduce “bad” liabilites.

In between my rather poor imitation of Michael Phelps while playing in the water at Norton Point, I read another gem by Vince Poscente called the Age of Speed. Results are best achieved by singularity of focus; the hare lost to the tortoise not because of the dynamics of speed but rather because he got distracted.

Being a AAA Jet is the key: Agile, Aerodynamic, and Aligned.

Rather than fearing and complaining about the faster pace of our society, today’s winners largely embrace speed in all their endeavors, giving them more time for life.

Whatever your dreams, whatever your goals, be about it.
