Never Settle For Where You Are At Right Now! Making More Money Can Be Easy & Fun

Living your dream & making more money is yours by rights! I have a question for you now – Are you truly happy with where you are at right now or do you yearn for more & better? The reality is that the majority yearn for more & better & it is this yearning that drives us to reach for the top. The photo abovve is at the top of Orrest Head just above Lake Windermere here in the UK and the views are some of the best I have ever had. 'The view from the top is always the best'
The 'more' that we crave might be to make more money, more happiness, a relationship, more time, a better lifestyle. Whatever 'more' means to you or me this is what drives us. Being an entrepreneur is all about striving to that next level, not giving in having faith & showing persistence. Making the dream a reality is where the fun starts. It is possible to be an Alchemist & make them a reality but only when the dreams are real enough & we create the right internal conditions for them to materialise. It is getting to the point of creating that optimum internal environment that is the hardest part. It is often so hard that many will give up thinking that it is not possible & just too hard- but as Paulo Coehlo says in his excellent book the Alchemist – we often give up the quest just as the palm trees begin to show on the horizon. It is with determination & vision & passion that will get us what/where we want to be.
An entrepreneur accepts responsibility for their current reality whether this good or bad. They created it & they have to accept responsibility for this & be grateful for it. Only then can we ready to move on to create the next stage. BUT until we are truly grateful for what we already do have we cannot move forwards. We then start with a dream or vision of what we would like to be or have. As the dream unfolds in our mind it does so in our heart & we begin to not only imagine having/holding whatever it is but also we begin to feel in our heart that we already have it. We feel it is already a part of us within us. It is this feeling & emotion & vision that we hold as we move towards its creation in a physical form.
Human nature makes us strive towards bigger & better goals & once they have been achieved we move on again. We need a purpose to give our lives meaning & we find it almost impossible to settle for too long with all that we currently have without wanting to move on for better & more. Think of Maslows hierarchy of needs, once our basic needs such as food & shelter have been met then we move onto others such as making more money, nicer clothes. We have a right to demand of ourselves perfection & should never settle for second best or just settle for where we are at right now. We are constantly looking for ways to improve on where we are at right now & by this I do not mean just in a material sense but on every level emotionally, spiritually, physical & materially. I am an entrepreneur & I am constantly thinking about how I can improve on what I do & I never settle for where I am right now. 'Right now' is just a stage in the journey as I am moving to the next stage. I do what I love so everything about my life I am passionate about – life is too short to be doing things that give me no joy. I love being able to inspire others to do as I have done. I love showing people how to do things, I love learning new things for myself & about myself.
My business allows me to do all of this & more so it fulfills all my needs for development BUT the side effect of all of this is that it allows me to earn more money -earn lots more money than if I were doing something that did not inspire me or instill passion in me. I do what I love & the money comes as a result of doing this. By living my dream & never settling for easy mediocrity I get far more from my life. By living the dream in every sense of the word my life is far 'richer' than I would ever have imagined it could be.
So, if you are settling for mediocrity, then my question to you is what is your dream? Why are you settling for where you are at right now? You & only you can change this to move forwards. You owe it to yourself to be the best you can possibly be & to have the best that you can. By reading this post on my blog means that you are not happy settling for all that your currently have – so what is stopping you from moving forwards? To read more about my story click right here

Brigitte,
What a great post. Love the picture too.
A friend of mine once said ‘quit wallowing in the quagmire of mediocrity’.
This blog post reminded me of his comments.
Cheers,
