From Tinkerer to Titan

My view is that everyone should have a "side" something to make money.  It could be painting rocks you find - and selling them at a flea market... it could be anything...

When considering what we do, we would be foolish to not embrace casual "lookers" who are at the tinkering stage of getting involved with something.  Once we have their attention, it is our job to demonstrate that there is "meat on the bone" that is worthy of cooking and eating... (and) that can be a sustainable food source for years to come.

Going from tinkerer to Titan is an evolutionary process.  Evolution inherently means transformation over time.  In our terms, time means weeks and months, not eons.  It is about things learned, tasks completed and moving up the knowledge and competence food chain.

Skill acquisition and then being able to pass along these skills is the heart of what pumps life into the success we have.  You must embrace being a learner with an eye to becoming a teacher, mentor and role model.

You will be paid in direct proportion to your competence and credibility.  If you are not learning and teaching others what you have learned, you are not in business.  Our role is to transform tinkerers into Titans, and this is a noble and worthwhile endeavor.

Everyone Wants What We Have

Yes, everyone wants what we have.  The trick is to enable them getting it.

This begs the question of defining the "what" in what we have.  Ultimately, this is financial security that has the potential to migrate to prosperity, then with time, legacy and generational wealth.  And boy... does this presuppose a lot!

The nitty-gritty of getting there is explained in the posts in this series.  If the math works... if the marketing makes sense... if the vibe feels right... if the people associated with your "thing" seem genuine and sincere... (and) if you are committed to doing what you need to do on a daily basis to make-it-work, then success should be a certainty, right?

It is just a matter of applying effort doing specific things.  It is about finding people who may be interested in "what we have" (but/and) are willing to take the steps necessary to "own it".  It is simply a matter of 1) time spent, 2) applying effort, 3) doing specific things.  This is not complicated.

Your role (and your goal) is to find people with the maturity and hunger to find the time to do these things.  And, at the end of each day, before your head hits the pillow, you will have the opportunity to ask yourself about how much time you spent applying effort doing specific things to build your future.

Our community exists to help you stay on target, to be an accountability mechanism, and to help and support you in making the transition from the person you were in the circumstances you were in, to a whole new world of possibilities.  Most people can not make this transition and stay stuck in entrenched, habitual lifestyles from which they can not break free.

The question you need to ask yourself is whether you are the exception or the rule?  Everyone wants what we have.  Not everyone is willing to make the sacrifices and change the behaviors necessary to make it happen.

Gut check time.

Go Out and Do It, Before It's Too Late

Dreams can come true.  It starts with a decision to get going.  Then, a commitment to keep going... until attained.  It is not a fantasy, but something earned.

"Pity the fool" who thinks it does not require effort, overcoming setbacks, handling the sense of being overwhelmed, getting stuck and then unstuck... and all of the peaks and valleys that are an inherent part of growth.  Nothing is a straight linear progression, but in many instances is two steps forward, one step back.  It all good - this is when and where the learning takes place.

Decide.  Commit.  If you join us, you will be in a good place, however, it does not need to be with us.  Find something you are comfortable with and get going.  The clock inexorably ticks, however if you are not motivated to excel or exceed your current circumstances the weeks and months will turn into years and decades.

Waiting for the time to be right?  It never will be - and might as well be now.

Decisions are a function of information.  Gather information.  Analyze it.  Then decide and get going.  It is better to regret having done something than to regret never having done anything at all.

Chop, chop.  Get cookin'.  If you want to eat - gather what it takes and, get cookin'.
