05 Jan 26 I was having a little sunbathe the other day, in the three hours of sunshine we were having, and I started thinking about the people I know. It works out that I'm really lucky, because I know lots of different people, doing lots of really cool, innovative things, so it makes my life pretty interesting. But why I was thinking about this was, "What is the difference between people who are seriously weathly vs people who are not?" It works out that it comes down to these three things: 1) They look after themselves - Emotionally, Physically, Spiritually and Financially. Emotionally - they are always doing something to make themselves better by either reading, doing courses and/or learning and they surround themselves by like-minded, forward-thinking people. Physically - They go to the gym, boxing, swiming, running and/or Pilates, Yoga.... And they dress well. Not always Designer, it could be their own quirky style, however, they never dress like a slob. Interesting fact Number 987 here: Never ever do business with a man who is a slob - they're as shady as fuck and are super sloppy, careless, and as a generalization, bad in business. Rolling from one near disaster to the next - with a drink in one hand and an excuse in the other. Spiritually - They all believe in a Higher Power who is supporting their success. Not a particular religion, or even a traditional religion, just a Higher Power. Financially - They belive that money looks after money. They are not buying $5000 gold bracelets, splashing money around and showing everyone how much money they have, but rather making their money work for them, like buying $5000 worth of shares. 2) They are consistently looking for an edge. How can they be cleaner, clearer, smarter and more put together? 3) They never give up. When they have a failure, and everyone in business does, they don't dwell on it. They don't put themselves on a downer thinking they're a failure. They accept they tried something new and for whatever reason, and the reason will become very obvious, extremely quickly, didn't work. They look at it as an opportunity to be better. Cleaner, clearer, smarter, more put together. I know, that's what I thought in the beginning, too freaking simple.
