The other day at work, my lead man told me a story he heard on the radio. I’ll be paraphrasing here but this is the story: A young man went to meet with a successful old man to ask him what the most important thing a person needed to be successful.

They started walking when they stopped at a pond that the old man had on his property. They sat down at the waters edge. As they talked, the old man suddenly grabbed the young man and held his head under the water.

Finally, the old man pulled the young man’s head out of the water and asked him, “What was the one thing you wanted most when your head was under water?” The young man said, “Air.”

The old man then said, “Whatever it is that you want in life, success in your marriage, being a parent, being a friend, whatever it is, you have to want success as much as you wanted air.”

That got me thinking. When you have your own business, you have to want success as much as you want air. The desire to be successful has to be so strong that, in the words of a friend of mine, “To get what you have never had, you have to do what you have never done.”

We all pay a price to have what we have. We go to work and pay a price for our boss. We give our bosses 8-10 hours a day of our time, and we get compensated for our time with a wage. Why not give ourselves at least 5-10 hours a week, and work for ourselves?

Why not build our futures instead of our bosses? Why not work for ourselves and become successful with our own business so maybe we can retire years before we have to? And I mean retire comfortably.

Ask yourselves this question, “Is my time worth more to me, or more to my boss?” I’m sure we all feel overworked and underpaid. Why continue going down that same road? Why not change direction and go down your own “road to success?”

Maybe we don’t want success as much as we want air. Do you want success? Would you like to fire your boss? Would you like to work from home and make more money than your boss? If you have the WHY, we have the WAY. If you want financial freedom, click on the link below.

John & Caroline work their home business so they will have financial freedom to do anything they want to do, without answering to a BOSS!
