A grandfather to his grandson: “There is fight in me, a fight between 2 wolves. One is bad, angry, greedy, jealous, arrogant and not be trusted. The other is good. He is peaceful, loving, caring, honest and reliable. These wolves also fight in you like in any other person.”
The boy pondered for a moment as asked: “Which of both wolves will win?”
The old man smiled and said: “the wolf you feed.“
Whatever your definition of wealth is, you are right.
Your definition of wealth is yours alone 👉🏼 and will (probably) result in important life choices in your path towards being wealthy.
For some wealth means having more/lots of money 💰.
In this case your best options are (non exhaustive list):
For others it is having more options 🚁.
In this case I would say (non exhaustive list):
Whatever your definition is. Embrace your choices and go for it 🚀.
Peace out. ✌🏼
As a small business looking to make an impact 💥 you want to build bridges🌉.
And I mean build bridges like…all the time. This is related to the importance of partnering up I talked about a while back.
Don´t worry too much about where they lead to. Nobody says you have to cross them…
Bridges give you options♦️♠️♥️♣️. Bridges allow for 2-way traffic.
The building itself is a process that enriches you.
When you build, you learn. When you build together, you learn exponentially more.
If you wonder if aside from business there is a political angle to my statement. Rest assured, there absolutely is😎.
Build bridges, not walls.* (Dr. Martin Luther King)
*and if the wall is built, dig a tunnel while you prepare to tear it down
Being a small business (owner), negative feelings sometimes can be overwhelming.
Self-doubt, anger, envy, greed, selfishness,… both as an individual or as a business pull you back. They keep you small. Make you focus on the problem and not the solution.
So I try to push them back. Use light to fight darkness.
I deeply believe that good deeds, good thoughts and good words can keep this darkness at bay. It takes some discipline and effort but it works.
Be your best you.
Loads of business “self-help” books go on about why you should look for a mentor. For advice, guidance, insights and a bit of help here and there. Not me.
I would say, go and pick some heroes first. Heroes are far more powerful in my view. Let me quickly explain why:
But most of all, I feel it is a matter of attitude towards your future. Active or passive.
You pick your heroes and study them, learn to think and act like them. Approach this if it were some intensive continuous training exercise. This is how you interiorise a success-attitude. Or you find a mentor and ask for advice and guidance (so the mentors initiative and timescales). Mainly a receiving more passive approach.
Act as if you own your destiny. Pick and study your heroes well. And if a mentor crosses your path introduce him to your heroes.
Note: I am much more in favour of the concept of “mentor-ing“. A do-word as they say. Mentoring is a crucial activity for those who want to lead change and achieve a vision.
