Hey There,
The rise of social entrepreneurs is very exciting. A whole new movement of commerce with social consciousness ensures profits go back to people and local communities. You see, great entrepreneurs solve problems and create a path of opportunities for others to follow. And while it’s easy to be a target from armchair critics, I encourage you to push on.
With economic uncertainty, the trend for more educated entrepreneurs will increase. More people seek freedom and know that a job is not enough these days. We are all searching for meaning and purpose with clarity. The search for self begins from within, not without. Time to focus.
It’s amazing how changing your perspective can change everything else. As you know, I’m continually studying personal development. I love the history and uncovering what happens behind the scenes. It helps when you have access to leading players in the game and it’s often these private conversations allow me to predict trends and opportunities in the marketplace. Just like a two-tiered economy, there is a game behind the game and it starts with your mindset.
Your mindset gives you the blueprint to achieve the success you want. While it’s important to take action, I’ve found that “alignment” is more important than action. Here’s why. So many people buy courses and chase opportunities that are not congruent with who they are.
I remember a friend who purchased a business opportunity because it was “guaranteed” to make her a fortune. Unfortunately, the nature of the business conflicted with her values as the product didn’t deliver what was promised. And it also required a lot more work than she had anticipated.
While it was easy to shut up and collect the money, the “social responsibility” and truth made her realise it was time to move on. She learnt an important lesson. No amount of money can buy you. So stop trading yourself short and decide what you want in life. The search for self is the most important journey you will encounter and every stumble reflects your commitment to pursuing your dream. The evolution of greatness is determined by your interpretation, perspective and ‘aligned’ actions. What you focus on, expands…
Your behaviour is a reflection of you. It reflects your beliefs, attitude and skills. Behaviour never lies and the path of congruency lies in consistency. What you do daily determines who you are permanently. What are you doing daily that is helping you achieve your ultimate outcomes?
One last thing, While I was watching the documentary series, “The Ascent Of Money”, one statistic really stood out. The average annual income in the USA is $44,000 a year while the average annual income in China is $2,000 a year. Yet, the Chinese save more money than the Americans. Which shows you that the amount of “money” is irrelevant. You need a “system” to manage your money with no emotion. Next week, I’m going to share a system that has helped me financially and my clients. But the best news is that this mentor is coming to Australia…stay tuned!
Until next week.
Nothing is missing…declarations are intentions in motion.
Simplify Life,
CHEN
P.S I’m excited that Tedxbyronbay is just around the corner. What I have learnt in the past few weeks is my experience is becoming more valuable than my capital.
