The Illusion of Entitlement
I’ve been travelling for a few weeks now and have come across many different people who want to hear about helping millions make millions…It’s exciting and fun to talk about,I’m very passionate about the possibility that millions of people will make a million or more by turning their passions into profits. But you know what I’ve noticed and it’s something that is really troubling me. People want to have financially secure futures that’s a truth but they don’t want to do the work, they think they “should” be able to have what they want, when they want it and really don’t understand why they have to work so hard (because you will work hard) to achieve their success….Why do so many people feel they’re entitled to something they don’t want to work for? Here’s what I know for sure: the only thing you are entitled to is how you choose to live your life, how you choose to be you, the rest is all made up. So, you want to be successful? Step in line so do millions of other: the difference between those who succeed and those who don’t is a choice…that’s it.

Mid-life crises, jet planes and Tim Horton’s coffees
I went into my adjudication office today, it’s a really interesting contract position with the federal government and I really do like the people I work with. Today one of my co-workers was talking about a friend of his who, it would appear, is having a mid-life crisis. Well that’s not new, apparently it happens all the time. Men and women experience mid-life crises all the time so I’m told. This was nothing new so what was the problem?My friend handed me my Tim Horton’s coffee and said “well it’s what he bought for himself that has caused the problem.” Upon further discussion I found out that he had bought himself a jet at the princely sum of 1.5 million Canadian dollars. “Well did he have the money to do this? ” he did. “Does he need a jet for business?” he does. “Will he make money with it?” he will…”then what’s the problem?” Well it’s an awful lot of money to spend on a gift for oneself was the reply. “Well does he share his wealth with his family?” he does..Again, I failed to see this as a problem but I was the only one who felt that way..
But that got me thinking, as my Tim Horton’s coffee cooled down too much, about rewarding ourselves for our hard work. Why can’t we do that? Why do some people get so offended when a big purchase is made? If you worked for it and you can afford it then what the heck, go for it…What business is it of mine anyway to be telling somebody how to spend their money?
Personally I think it’s great that the guy bought himself something he really wanted. I hope he enjoys it and makes good use of it. When you make your millions through my coaching program helping millions make millions.com what will you do with the money?
I’m paying my house off, taking my family travelling and taking my best friend on a trip to the Bahamas…and I’m not waiting to win the lottery to do so: I’m doing it with my money that I have earned in my business….now that’s fulfilling!
