I’m constantly amazed at how the majority of the human race in a great country like America would rather spend their entire life being mediocre, swapping hours for dollars, taking little risk, playing not to lose…then going for the gusto and getting everything possible out of the short time we have on this earth.

As I write this, shortly after my 60th birthday, at 10 A.M. in the morning after making several multi-million dollar decisions already today, I ask myself…

I Wonder What The Poor People
Are Doing Today?

Some of you may already know, as you get older you take a lot less for granted and begin to appreciate the simpler things in life. What used to be important to you now means little. You gain a larger sense of urgency to get more done quicker than you have in the past, knowing you won’t live forever and if you do, you’ll be too old to enjoy life.

I don’t know about you, but I’m going out swinging and no one will ever accuse me of being lazy, or non productive. I wish I could say the same for everyone I know. There’s one thing I know for sure…

We Ain’t Getting Out OfnThis Life Alive!nn(Note to my older brother Dave! I’m not referring to the after life here, so no sermon please).

Speaking of my big brother, you can see him in person at our Real Estate and Success Expos where he does a class on Taming The Fear Monster, and the Sunday morning worship service. There’s a schedule of the Expos included here for this year and next. Tell FFN you’re a member, and you get to go for FREE. For more info on how to sign up, go to your member’s only password protected website via intranet. These inexpensive events are the biggest bang for the education buck in the industry and this 60 year old body teaches every one of them and actually I have a blast doing it.

Come to think of it, I have a blast doing almost everything I do. Life’s a blast. It’s fun to be me.
Is It Fun To Be You?

If the answer is no, what are you going do about it? Will your life continue to be mediocre and boring, or will you gain some guts and go for the gusto? Is winning big more important to you than surviving?

Do You Have The Courage
To Become Filthy, Stinking Rich?

Look, I was a mechanic who barely cleared high school. No money, no credit, no training, no rich relatives, and no simple plan to follow to success. It was a tough struggle where I invented the steps incurring much pain and I enjoyed almost every day of the struggle. I only have one regret...
