According to Webster’s dictionary;
Affluence: 1. A plentiful supply of material goods; wealth. 2. A great quantity; an abundance. 3. A flowing to or toward point.
So affluence is a ‘great quantity’ in relation to what? A ‘plentiful supply’ compared to what? or whom? Or compared to what we expected we
might have at what point in time?
The only true comparison can be with yourSelf because everybody’s perceived values are different. So the goal is to constantly raise your
own bar in your own game. Because that way you’re constantly progressing.
This is all about the evolution of your business, your personal development, and the development of your ability to provide wealth for yourself and your family in any situation you find yourself in.
In the early days of my business, my prospects were mainly broke people who “needed” to make money. The long time unemployed, retirees, serial job seekers – I chased em…”beggin”, “convincing”, “pleadin”, “sellin”…and getting nowhere fast. People with broke thoughts buy and do nothing. How much is going to “cost” is a broke thought.
As my experience increased, I grew. As I followed my mentors instructions, I increased my skill sets and realized my value…at the same time my relationship to affluence also grew and I began attracting people with money who could afford to start their own business and most importantly…those who were ready, willing and able to learn new skills, to dream big dreams and to ACT on them.
I began to compete with mySelf …in a different game….and continue to do so.
Bottomline – I learned the evolution of your wealth is directly related to how much you feel you are worth which is related to how much action you take.
