I was talking to a guy the other day the was really excited
about a “new” company that had only been around four months and already had
people at the top of the pay scale. He just knew that if these “old” guys (he’s
19) could do it in four months he could too. He did not realize that they didn’t
start at zero four months ago. What happened is there was a company that had
been around for several years and sold to another group of investors. The new
investors changed the name, the packaging, and started a “new” company with all
the people still in place from the “old” company. From a marketing standpoint this
is brilliant; make people think that they can go from zero to the top in four
months, but what about the truth? How will you or someone you are helping feel
in a year when you have put everything you have into it and are not at the top
and maybe not even making that much money. Real lasting success will take time.
Eric Worre talks about the 1/3/5/7 formula in his book “Go Pro”. The first 2
numbers in this formula says that is takes 1 year to figure out what you are
doing and start making a little money and 3 years of steady work to be able to
quit your job. This is a “little” more than the “four months to the top”. Tired
of the “fake”? Join us and Time and Money, where everything is what it seems.
