Vehicle to Success

To get rich you need a vehicle that will bring in the money. If you were going to New York from Los Angeles, you would need a way, a vehicle, a method. Walking would get you there. Driving a car would get you there faster. Going to the movies would not get you there. Going to the movies may be a vehicle to get you something else, but it is not a vehicle that will get you to NYC from LA.

You need a vehicle

Even as obvious as that statement sounds, most people use a vehicle that will not get them what they want. Then, rather than admitting their mistake, they defend their mistake and whine about it not producing as they want. Don't be an idiot. If you want something in life, then get the vehicle that will give it to you. Some people say, "Hard work will get you what you want." Some say, "It's not how hard you work but what you know." Still others say, "It's not what you know but who you know." I'm going to tell you the truth. Hard work in a vehicle designed to give you what you want will give you what you want.

A janitor in an office building perhaps works harder than the CEO (Chief Executive Officer) of the business in that same building. Yet the CEO makes more money than the janitor. It's not just hard work. It's hard work in a vehicle that will give you what you want.

On the other hand, the janitor probably knows more about being a janitor than the CEO does. It's not just knowing more. It's knowing more about the vehicle that will give you what you want.

Some people may rise in the ranks because of who they know, but they will never rise higher than who they know. Besides that, a person who promotes another person based on friendship and not ability is probably not very high up anyway.

If you want no limits to the height you can achieve, then you must work in a vehicle that does not impose limits.

These success principles are designed to tell you how to get what you want in life. If you want simply to rise higher in your job, then you can do that. Get the vehicle that will elevate you in your job. If it takes more education in a certain field, then you must quit hesitating and get it. If it takes changing your immediate dead-end job to another one that has potential, then you must define what it is you must have, and take steps to get that.

Many people want more than a job can provide them, but some times they don't know that a job can't provide it. If you want to know the Secrets of Having a Job, click that phrase.

Which Vehicle Should You Use?

You should use the vehicle that will get you what you want, obviously. If your great dream is to be an author, then your vehicle is writing. But what if your dream is not tied to a method? What if your dream is to be financially independent, regardless of the (legal, honest, moral, ethical) way it takes to get there? What if you want to be debt free, to own your own dream house at a location of your own choosing, to send your children to college, to go on your dream vacation whenever you choose and stay there as long as you choose? What if you want all this, and the way to get all this doesn't matter, but you just don't know how to get it?

The first thing you must realize is, all (legal, honest, moral, ethical) wealth comes from the exchange of goods and services for money. To get wealth, you must provide regularly something you have or can get to somebody who wants it. That should be a basic lifetime principle incorporated into your nature and understanding.

To provide a product or service to somebody includes the fact you must also find that person. It means you must SELL the product or service. Let me quickly point out, before you faint and turn wimpy on me, that you are already selling. You are already doing what you need to do to earn a living.

If you have a job, you have already sold yourself to your employer. He bought the idea of using you to perform a service that he wants done. Furthermore, each day you sell yourself again to him, that he may keep using you. You show up for work, you do your job, you behave in a fairly reasonable manner. You are doing what it takes, you are providing a service, you are selling yourself each day.

You may say, "But that's not the same thing. I don't feel uncomfortable doing that." Number One, it is the same thing, and Number Two, you don't feel uncomfortable about it because you've done it for so long. Get the picture? When you are practiced and experienced, you don't feel uncomfortable at it.

I can't tell you which vehicle you should use. Each person who reads this is unique, and the same technique is not right for everybody. You must get the right vehicle for yourself, and that is for your to decide. If you seek it, you will find it. I can only give you some guidelines.

1. A job almost certainly will not make you financially independent. The odds of that is like the odds of winning a lottery. A job probably will not give you anything you want, but will only give you what you are willing to settle for.
2. Savings and investments, although commendable and recommended, probably will not alone get you what you want. To put your money in a really good investment and have no down turns to the point you get a living wage in return means you already invested enough money up front to be financially independent. It takes that much money to get that kind of return.
3. Owning your own business is the only way to get the kind of money you want to meet all your needs and provide for yourself and your family. However the bankruptcy of a traditional small businesses in the USA is around 85% or higher.
4. Network marketing through a good company provides you with your own business without the headaches of a small business or possibility of bankruptcy. A proper network marketing business has no limits, and the average person can begin making money immediately.
