Living in a daze makes the world seem so different.
I was just at an investment seminar at the country club my dad belongs to. Quite interesting. I was in a room with 30 of probably the 50 richest people in the area. I was gonna start asking for donations to my college fund. I was definitely the youngest person there, actually, my dad and step-mom, who are in their early 40's could probably had claimed that if I hadn't come. So they were all intrigued about the young kid that came. Almost everyone there talked to me at some point. I like talking to people like that, people with money. Trying to pick their mind, who and what do they know that I should know. It's that kind of thinking that tells me without a doubt, I will have everything I hope for someday. I know that someday I will own my own business, more than likely businesses. I envision myself having a house similar to my dad's, living in a nice neighborhood. There are pieces to the puzzle that I don't see yet, things like, what kind of business would I run. But in talking to all of these intelligent people tonight, I realize that opportunities come when you least expect them. Now I've always known that to be true, but when somebody that you have respect for tells you something like that, and tells you about how they never knew what they were gonna do when they graduated college, it just makes things so much easier to deal with. I don't have any parents to talk to me about college, nobody in my family has ever gone with the exception of my uncle who is now a chiropractor. My dad never graduated high school, he has enough money he could probably retire today and live off his investments. My mom got her GED after high school since she was pregnant with my sister at 18. My step-mom took some classes for accounting at the local Tech College, and my step-dad is the closest having taken classes at UWSP. I read a book called Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, it's an autobiography of sorts about his own dad, and his friends dad and their respective impacts on his life decisions. His rich dad was his friends dad, he didn't have the great education, but he understood things about money. He made money work for him instead of working for money. I love this idea, and I really understand how to make it work. I discovered a thing called network marketing. I'm kind of jumping around here, but it all has a point. What network marketing basically is as I understand it, is helping other people to make money and in turn making money for yourself. The ultimate way to make money work for you. If you get a percentage of the income of someone that works for you, but is indepedent in everything they do so they don't really work for you, then you make money off from their work. It's a chain effect. They get people to work under them, and you get a smaller percentage of that and so on. And the best part is that as long as the chain continues down the line everybody in it benefits. So you aren't taking advantage of anyone, but helping them to make more money too. I'm going to find out more information about this through a person that seems to be a great resource Paul Adams.
So all in all, between the speaker last night, and the seminar tonight I have a much better handle on what I want to do with my life. Well, realistically I'm no closer to figuring it out exactly, but I know what I want to happen, and I have the deciding factor as far as how that will play out over the next 2-3 years. I know that it will all work out, I also know that it will be a lot of work, but as you may have noticed by some of my posts on here, when I become passionate about something, it's hard for me to underachieve.
