I am combing the internet looking for ways not to become rich, but to become successful. I believe that the world is now saturated in so many ways. There is a subscription now for virtually everything and anything. There is a demand and supply and madness for everything.
The world has exploded and gone nuts. That's just my humble opinion right now.
I am looking for ways to grow from what I already posses, not necessarily in terms of material things but in terms of my knowledge, intelligence, skills and what the market asks for.
It sort of all started with my boyfriend getting me to think about things, get out of my comfort zone. Here are five things I most like about my boyfriend- but it is relative I guess, because I enjoy the whole package deal that he is but I think these five things are dominant. And I promise that including my boyfriend in this post about the challenge of becoming successful has its place.
- I like that he is handsome. It may seem like a vain one but we are first attracted by someone's looks-when we don't know anything else about them.
- He is smart. He is always thinking and looking for ways to put his money to work. I like the way he is thinking.
- He is sweet. This one is rather general but I will keep it that way. He is sweet. Sweet. Sweet.
- He is open minded. I don't think that in all my conversations with him have I heard him say no to an idea. What do I mean by that. When we talk about things, or I make suggestions, he does not dismiss them- he says maybe. He keeps an open mind while looking at things- as opposed to me who I am more inclined to dismiss ideas from the get-go.
- He challenges me. Hence the idea of this post. Yes he does. I like that. All these ideas that we talked about are now growing from seeds and make me look at things differently.
So #5 is a huge contributor to this post. I like what he has done to me because now I feel like challenging my everyday and going not only out of my comfort zone but going past it to succeed.
He says that being self employed, working for your self is so much better and I can see why he states that. So , now I am taking you back to my initial statement- where I am combing the internet for ways, ideas and how to become successful with the tools that I already have.
I am aware that I will have to offer a product that is at least as good as my competition. I will have to be prepared to fail and rise again. I am looking for that brilliant idea to spark in my head and to be able to put it in practice- and I will do that by challenging myself to find it. I can't box myself in a square and live my life like that.
I am content with how my life is. I am a home owner, I have a good job/ career path . I have my health, my family, pet friends. I have it good is what I am trying to say.
So now it's time to get out of the comfort zone and DO SOMETHING. I like this fuzzy feeling I have while I am looking for ways to become successful. I feel like my brain is opened to a whole new space and I envision it as a white and bright space- where I am doing my research. I am very lucky also that he has so so many ideas and suggestions that I know at some point one of them will pan out and we will be successful. Thank you J for this. ( My boyfriend's name is J.) You are awesome.
If you liked my post and you want to share your stories of success I would love to hear them and maybe they will inspire me. Also if this post inspires you - please share this joy.
