If the plan doesn´t work, change the plan but never the goal.
Whenever I write motivational posts, I like to get personal because I believe readers feel more connected to me then. When I was a young child I always dreamed of being an entrepreneur. I had many dreams - becoming a Popstar, Architect, Business Woman, Professional Dancer, Actor and so much more. But I always knew that I want to be my own boss. Growing up, not everyone believed in me. Whenever I did something that was "different" kids in school judged me and distanced themselves. I remember those days when I uploaded my first Youtube Video and was a successful dancer in music videos at the age of 14, I came into the classroom and my friends ignored me. During the break, I had to find someone to talk to me and even my so-called best friends didn´t act like before. Back then I was really sad but I now realize that their mindset wasn´t as open as mine.
The important thing and why I am telling you the story is that I never gave up. I started to practice, even more, I got more jobs and I managed to find friends that I now call my second family who always believed in me.
Be patient. The best things happen unexpectedly.
I knew that the future can be better than the present and that I have the power to make it so. I became so much stronger going through the feeling of rejection and not being enough. I learned to love myself and trust my gut. I heard people asking - did she go to college? What education does she have? Cryptocurrency is not save. What is her second plan if it doesn´t work out? Well, being scared won´t help anybody. I believed - I believed - I believed. The result is - it happened!
Sometimes it takes 10 years to get that one year that will change your life. No one said that you chose an easy path but eventually, you will get there if you stick to your dream and work harder than anyone you know.
You miss 100% of the shots you don´t take
The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing. I never want to have the feeling of "what if.." There are no failures - only lessons. Remember that.
It´s never too late to work for your dreams. It can be difficult at first when you´re tied to a 9/5 job. So here are 10 personal finance tips that I found on 6amsucces which is a page for motivation & success.
- Spend less than you earn.
- Build multiple streams of income.
- Pay down the highest interest bearing debt first.
- Income does not determine wealth.
- Do everything in moderation.
- Know the difference between good debt and bad debt.
- Develop a Workable Household Budget.
- Track your income and expenses.
- Never assume past performance guarantees future results.
- Pay the bills on time. By doing so you´ll avoid spending money on needless late fees.
It IS possible to build a second stream of income while you have your 9/5 job. Take every chance, use every free minute for research and save some money to invest into your dream.
The key to success is to focus on goals, not obstacles. Obstacles are here to make us stronger and wiser. We are here to learn and to figure out how to master life. No one said it would be easy but the truth is that it is possible. You can change your future right now because tomorrow becomes never. The only believer you need on your side is yourself. It all starts with a dream and continues with hard work and belief!
Thank you for your time.
