First, I want to thank each of you following my posts and I hope that a few of the things I talk about will make a difference and help you pursue your goals of building, growing and maintaining your business. Home-Based or otherwise.
This is a very personal post and I hope that I can relate the message that is in my heart. (Not to get to sappy, but oh well).
Today I began working with a client from Idaho. Nice guy. He is in his late 40's, married and has 3 kids. He doesn't hate his job but he really wants to be home more and spend more time with his family. Anyway, we were talking about why he had decided to work from home. His story even inspired me and that's why I am sharing it with you.
About a year ago his father passed away. In the months before he died he was living in a convelesant home. My client was very close to his father and often looked to him for advice. One day as the two were talking, my client ask his Dad if he had any REGRETS. Now understand, my client loved his Dad and admired the way he lived his life and so really did not know what his Dad's answer would be.
So, I want you to imagine my client talking to his father, basically on the brink of life, and looking for some fatherly advice.....
The Dad looked at his son and replied, "I wish I would have taken more risks in life". True story. He elaborated to his son that there were times in his life he wished he would have taken a risk to make his families life better.
But that's not all. My client spoke with one of the nurses at the convelesant home and asked what most of the dieing patients said they wish they would have done in their lives. By far and away, the most common answer was that they wish they would have taken more risks in their lives. That was something, most REGRETED.
Most people know that with Risk comes Rewards. So don't listen to the nay sayers who tell you that you are crazy for doing what you are doing. I would rather try and fail at something, then to never try at all.
Time is our most valuable asset. Most everything else can be replace but once time is gone, it's gone. For me, spending time with my kids when they were young was really important to me. I had a good career, and people thought I was nuts for leaving a career that I had built. Even my wife looked at my cross-eyed a time or two. Now, 15 years later I am thankful I took the risk I did. I look at some of my friends back then and so many of them are a bit enveous of the time and financial freedom I have with my family.
It's all worth it guys. Decide what is most important to you, and DO IT. If you never step out of your comfort zone and take a few risks you will most likely never have what you want most in life.
Many of you have asked me to recommend the best way to make money from home. We all want the same thing, and that's to be happier. I feel very fortunate to be in the position that I am in and I want all of you to have an opportunity to achieve your dreams and goals, whatever those might be. So in my next post I am going to do something, that most people would never consider doing.
So I have a friend who operates a large online business. He has done very well and he knows how passionate I am about helping others achieve their goals. So, with his help, I have arranged to give you a customized online website, that they will build for you, absolutely FREE. They normally charge $1,995 for this same service. I know this because I have worked with man of their clients.
It's my way of paying it forward. I hope that each of you will take advantage of this while you can. So from Classified Wealth to each of you, live life to it's fullest. Don't be afraid to take a risk to get what you want most in life.
The Post should go live on Tuesday, June 21, 2011.
Best wishes,
Brett Jones
