“6 Months to 6 Figures”

Lessons I learned  from this book -

The 4 W’s to Lifestyle Satisfaction:

What do you do? —What’s the possibility and upside? Is the opportunity endless? Is it something you enjoy doing? Does it really inspire and help people? Are you in 100% control of your schedule, income, and advancement? Most people say they love what they do, but deep down, if they could do anything they wanted, they would do something else. Please don't settle. If you REALLY love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life. I am glad I found what I love and everyday it makes me feel happy. I write,I read, I empower, I travel and I feel very content at the end of the day. What are you doing lately ?


Who do you do it with? —Who is leading you? Search for likeminded people in your life, it is exhausting to be a lion amongst sheeps. If you are a Lion find your pride, don't settle for sheeps. You will never be happy or content. Find the ones who inspire you. Think !!! Are your relations inspiring, and do they challenge you? The times I’ve thrived the most were because of the mentors and leaders guiding me. They lived the lifestyle I wanted, they had the amazing relationships I wanted, and they practiced what they preached. Do you love and appreciate those you associate with daily? The most important lesson that I learned in my life after years of people pleasing is this that Most people hate what they do, hate their boss, and hate their co-workers. Life is too short to have toxic people around you.

When do you do it, and when you don’t? —Do you have flexibility? When I started my company, I had no idea how I will continue it. I wanted to choose the best suitable career path for myself where I felt happy and I don't have to compromise my personal life as well.Can you design your business to fit around your lifestyle. Ultimately, you are in control of your own future and can take it as big and as far as you want to grow. You need the real passion to pull your potential out. Are you up before your alarm because you’re so excited to take on your day or do you sleep in dreading getting up? Gary Vaynerchuk  if you hate what you do, even a small percentage, it’s time for a change.

Where you do work? —Can you work from home or while you’re traveling? I am blessed and thankful to god that I was already into media and mass communication. So Public Speaking was not that difficult option for me to choose. But according to research Public Speaking is higher then  phobia of death. Many people cannot handle it. It suited me and my lifestyle, I choose my passion what about you ? Can you move if you’re tired of where you are living? Do you have an inspiring environment that sparks your creativity and genius? This is why becoming a lifestyle entrepreneur is difficult for many of us. But I have always been a firm believer of WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY.I am confidently guessing you have goals to increase your income. Maybe you're sick of making the same income or you can’t stand the feeling of financially struggling. 


What is the difference between those who are thriving and those who aren’t?

Well, we all have the same twenty-four hours in a day, so they must be doing something different with their time, right? They must have a better perspective about money and how it’s earned. If you are not satisfied with your income, let me give you some straight- forward tactical tips that can be used right away. 

Stop doing what you’re doing:

The first thing you must do if you are dissatisfied is stop doing what you’ve been doing, because that’s what has created your current reality. We’ve all heard the famous quote by Albert Einstein, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.”What’s great about life and opportunity is the chance to completely change the story and direction overnight. Regardless of your past decisions, you’re always one decision away from making the right one. 

Don’t let money define you: Your self-worth has nothing to do with your finances. Whether you have a negative bank account or $10 million, your confidence should never waiver. If anything, your confidence should increase when you are stressed, and this stress should motivate you to NEVER feel that way again.

 Being wealthy is a state of mind, but so is being broke. Who you are defines you, not what you possess.

Start prioritizing your profits: When you set up your weekly schedule, make sure you start with income producing activities.


Twenty percent of your activities account for 80% of your income. Figure out what those critical-inch activities are, and do more of them. Really think about the top two or three things you need to do to create more income. Now put those in your schedule consistently so you assure you are creating income. Constantly ask yourself if what you’re doing is profitable, and focus on doing what you should versus what you feel.

Also, remember: impact drives income. Start placing a higher value on your time: Time is more valuable than money. You can always get more money, but you can never get more time. Is it possible to become twice as valuable, and make twice as much money in the same amount of  time? Of course it is. There is nothing more valuable than time invested wisely. We all have the same 24 hours. It’s what you do with them that determines everything.


Start Planning for your new year in a progressive and constructive way, You will end up being more happy and proud of your achievements.
