WHY ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS?



If you are like me, I have looked into and been involved in a wide variety of businesses over the years. What is a motivating factor for people who want their own business?

Consider the following:

1. Being rich versus being poor.
2. Being free versus being bound to a job.
3. Buying what you want versus what you can afford.
4. Buying expensive things versus shopping at flea markets. ( Discretion urged here!)
5. Having other people do those things you hate doing versus doing things you don’t want to do.

Have you heard this: money doesn’t buy happiness! Partly true but money is a tool that you can use to help people and yourself.

Where are you on this chart:

1. Poor: $25,000 or less per year
2. Middle class: $25,000 to $100,000 per year.
3. Affluent: $100,000 to $ 1 million per year.
4. Rich: $ 1 million or more per year.
5. Ultra rich: $1 million or more per month!

Wherever you are, what can you do to get to the next level? Not by trying to get a better job but by starting a business or growing you present business.

Hi Jacques .. thanks for this and the listing the choices we have .. I think you're right money definitely doesn't buy happiness ..

however we haven't been brought up to think about these things .. we were after the war .. but that aspect has gone in the last 40 - 50 years as society has become more affluent ..

Now - it's a huge shock .. the world has never gone this way before .. society has never really been rich before and had to adapt .. we could always aspire for better things .. we can now - but everyday people will not find that easy.
