Your Money Or Your Life?
November 11, 2009
By Barbara Pellegrino
Which one would You spend:
* To have your dreams come true?
* To become an overnight success?
* To have, be or do whatever you desire?
The main reason people don’t have what they want is, they don’t have enough, either time or money, to invest. Do you believe that? Most people you meet are willing to invest maybe one or the other… but not both. But the most successful people in the world, do invest BOTH…TIME AND MONEY!
They continually study, learn, grow, buy programs, hire coaches, seek out mentors and invest in their personal development and education to become who they want to be and the best they can be,… entering the world of their dreams, armed with a breadth of knowledge, practical application and a “never give up” determination and passion to achieve exceptional results.
If you wanted to achieve any physical goal, whether it be get in shape, playing a sport, trekking through Peru! What would you do? Doesn’t it make sense to follow a structured training program and practicing daily, to continually improve your skills and performance? Wouldn’t it make sense to hire a coach or a trainer, to “fine tune” your skills and to bring out and develop your natural talents and abilities?
If you wanted to learn a musical instrument, wouldn’t you would want to hire the best teacher and even then, you would still need to practice the skill and evolve your natural abilities, long before you would feel ready to perform as a musician. Yet these days we are lead to believe that it is natural and normal to do a little and get a lot. Start something new and then receive immediate overnight success.
Unless you have innate natural talent and abilities, like very few people, you will need to develop and grow your skills. Tiger Woods has natural and innate abilities, but he still gets the best coaching and spends the time to stay “on top of his game.” Mozart was a child prodigy, but it still took time and focus to develop his talents.
Who do you know that became an overnight success without a history of development? You will find anyone who has achieved any level of expertise has invested both time and money to develop their skills. Even the “overnight success” stories, usually have up to 10 years of solid learning and skill building prior to their “instant success.”
If you have limited time, then you can invest your money to get the best training programs and personal coaches to fast track your success. There are many people already proficient in so many areas, you can probably find experts who have worked out the quickest and most efficient methods to achieve mastery in an area.
If you have limited money, then you can invest in a home study training program and spend the time going through the proven exercises that are provided for you. There is a saying the “practice makes perfect.” IT IS NOT REALLY TRUE. Practice makes permanent. It is only “perfect” practice that makes perfect. Get a proven, home study program that has been designed to fast track you. Either way if YOU choose a path and stick to it – you will succeed beyond your expectations.
“Your thoughts determine what you want, your actions determine what you get.” Take action today… hire yourself a qualified personal coach to fast track your developments and success, or purchase, at a much lower cost, a proven self study program and invest your time, to become who you want to be and achieve your dreams! Either way you will get what you want – all it takes is your commitment and your focused, continued actions.
“If you don’t believe and invest in you – Who will?” “If not Now – When?”

Blessing in Disguise
March 11, 2009
The company I work for is a lot slower now than it has been in the past. Sales have decreased and accounts have either closed their doors or switched to our competitor. As a result, my department had to do a “re-route” to better handle the calls that come in, or lack of. We went from 8 areas down to 7. I was the tech with the least amount of seniority with an area, so of course, I lost my area. We have two “floaters” than run at later shifts and on weekends, I have more seniority than both of them, so I bumped one of them into another position within our department and now I am back to being a floater.
At first was pissed, I have worked hard the last few years to get an area and to keep it one of the best. Last year, I was the number one tech in Sacramento, but it did not matter, I still lost my area. To make things worse, I am still stuck in an old beater truck with no A/C.
After talking to Torie and voicing my frustrations, she has helped me to realize all the good that comes with being a floater. I will no not have the responsibility and stress of running my own area. I will now have more time in the mornings with my family and the biggest plus is that as a floater I will be working 4-tens. This gives me three day weekends that will allow me to do all kinds of things, like helping Torie and spending time with my son.
The change does not take affect until April, and the last week of March I will be doing military work, so when I come back I will be a floater. I am now looking forward to the change and view this as an opportunity to do something better.
