A Deep Dive Into the Notion of Change

Understanding change is perhaps the most important ingredient to your success.  It is uncomfortable and most people (can not / will not / do not) openly embrace this discomfort.  As a result, nothing happens and the status quo continues to rule lives, incomes, lifestyles and any hope for making progress toward a goal... no matter what that goal might be.

Creating change is analogous to breaking an addiction.  People are "addicted" to the patterns of their lives.  Introducing something new is disruptive and inherently will change these patterns.  Many (most) people can not cope and the "draw" to established and familiar patterns continues to rule their lives.  This is why people stay "stuck" with whatever they are attempting to "change".

For our purposes, we help people change their relationship to money - to achieve first, a level of financial stability, and then build on this to higher and higher levels of prosperity.  This all begins with a decision and a commitment to spend minutes, then hours, then as much time as you can in business building activities.

These chunks of time will necessarily "take the place of" things you "used to do".  This defines change.  BUT, then the 'demon of change' creeps and lurks and constantly pricks you with its discomfort - and the addiction to established and comfortable patterns - and it thwarts your attainment of whatever you are pursuing.

Ultimately, you redefine who you are based upon how you choose to invest your time.  If you can, or if you can't... whether you are successful in achieving a goal - is in the balance.

It all comes down to how you consciously choose to invest minutes and hours of every day to build and income that is independent of your job.

Can you break away from the status quo / comfortable patterns of your life?  Most people can't and remain relegated to the Working Poor.  Those who can, break free and integrate new skills and patterns of behavior into their lives.

On the most fundamental level, success is about conscious choices of how to invest time. Inherently, this differs from how you currently live your life and 'who you are' right now.  You must make this commitment to the "idea" of change as it is presented here.  There is nothing more foundational to understand.
