We Are The 95%. We Need To Be The 5%.

A lot of times, what kept me sane was what I knew in my heart. (That sounds really cheesy.) But it's true. This is what I learned:

95% of us grow up knowing how to live the industrial age/industrial revolution and we're taught that we needed to go to school, get through college with a degree and get a job... And you have to complete that properly with the years that are included. And then, when we get a "stable" job, we need to work that job for 40~50 years and then retire. Correct? That's how employees and self-employees work. So the way we live is: Time = Money.

The other 5% is the very few that make it through success. They know how to earn money with very little effort. And those are those who know business and know how to invest. And in this section, the way they think is: Thinking = Money.

Now, this is where I found a turning point...

You don't have to be in the business side of the world to earn a lot of money but it's the way they think that got them where they are now AND they knew how to invest their time and effort to make money.

Surprisingly, 95% of us make 5% of the money in the world. 5% of the rest of the people make 95% of the money in the world.

And I'm not making this up. This is all true! And it's because most of us is still stuck with the idea that we have to go to school, work and then work our asses off, wasting so much time making money when we have NO time for anything else. We're slowly wasting our time making this money that we won't even really need when we die because money is tangible. When in the end, you won't have time for family, friends, yourself/personal time, and things like that. How horrible is that?! We are now in the age where we're about to go completely digital. Now, Smartphones have credit card swipes to make transactions and make deposits as well! So right now, while we are in our 20's, we need to find out a new way of thinking and a new way to success. And we start that by thinking outside the box and to know how to properly invest our time for the better.

Indeed, old school parents are still on our asses about it... Even my mother thinks that I'm crazy and I won't make it too far in life but I think I'm starting to understand how to be more of a leader in my life and I think I'm on my way to success... It just takes time and a little more effort, will power and drive.

So I suggest you make a Dream Board, Turtle. I want you to get as creative as you can be and create a Dream Board... On that Dream Board, put everything that you want, everything that you want to achieve and where you want to go. And hang that somewhere you think is perfect and look at it every day. When you wake up, look at it and think of another way to achieve it. When you go to sleep, dream about it. Make sure that you are constantly reminded by this Dream Board and I'm sure you will find inspiration and a drive to make all of those happen. :)

I wish I could be there to tell you this in person and give you a biiiiiiiiiiig hug so you know that there is at least one person who understands what you're going through! And I promise you, when I come and visit, I will give you all the hugs that you want! :D

I love you Turtle,
