Motivation

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about my blog and what direction it’s been going in. I originally created this blog to journalize my journey to create a company and watch it either succeed and make me rich or fail and send me back to the drawing board. I also created it to give little personal finance tips and entrepreneurial wisdom along the way. Looking back through my last several posts, I am starting to realize that my blog has taken more of the direction of a motivational site. It wasn’t originally my intention to make post after post of advice about how to be better to people or how to make your life better by committing to do things. When I blog and discuss what’s on my mind, that’s just what has been coming out.

Lately I’ve been asking myself, “Are these posts really relevant to someone looking for financial and business tips?” I’m starting to come to the realization more and more that they really are relevant. If you really want to get ahead in life and really want to make a name for yourself, it is really important to have a good head on your shoulders. It is really important to treat people right. Remember the saying, “It’s not what you know but who you know.” That statement is very true for many circumstances. Do you want to know a lot of people and make connections that can be very beneficial in your future? Treat people right and have the right attitude towards life and the opportunities will come knocking.

In the business world, you can never learn too much. There are always areas in which someone can improve. I believe one of, if not the, most important area to be successful is through interpersonal communication skills. If you have the power to motivate people, to inspire people and to have people genuinely like you, there is nothing you can’t achieve. I’ve just finished the book, The Magic of Thinking Big, and it really got me in this mindset. The book really makes the idea hit home of how important it is to think big and to also help people around you think big. It’s teaches that it is important that if you want to be a success in life, you must surround yourself by people that share your vision.

Hopefully I can continue to write posts that motivate others to get moving in the right direction. Being rich doesn’t always mean an abundance of money. People can be rich in other ways. Some definitions say that to be rich is to have a high quality of living. Having people like you, having people want to work with you or for you, setting goals and actually achieving them. That all sounds like a higher quality of living. Don’t get me wrong, I do want to strive to achieve an abundance of money and I do want to blog about it as well. But sometimes it’s important to take a step back and realize that you can’t do it alone. This is why my blog has taken the direction it has. Personal relationships and achieving goals hold a higher value in my book than any personal possessions.
