I watched this interview (it’s between 3 entrepreneurs and Richard Branson) and I am so inspired by what he had done. I am particularly would like to talk about is the part when the interviewer asked Richard about how he worked it out when during the time he started out, when he was so busy and how he managed to find time for his family since he is loving his kids and wife so much.
What he told was really something I want to replicate. I used to think that my kids are so noisy, so disturbing and my wife is so nagging, that at one point I had enough and I want to move out, otherwise I won’t be able to concentrate. I guess, I was wrong, I need to change my mindset and really having to be able to work and at the same time being with them (although not really fully pay attention with them) is a blessing.
No matter how busy or how not able to entertain them, just being with them is good enough to keep the family going.
Thank you for the amazing insight , and I found the video is so inspiring.
It’s been 1 and half year since I tried to venture into internet marketing business, and it’s been disappointing. I only have the occasional sales here and there and the earning was just enough to cover the expense for setting up the websites.
However, it’s a journey and along the way the painful learning experience. I was pondering and taking a serious hard look at what failed me.
As Thomas Edison said, I haven’t failed, I found ways that did not work and I will find the way that will work .. that’s why his persistent of 10 thousand ways not work but 1 way that works made history..
I’m picking up myself and start again with the lessons I learned this past 1 and half year. Hopefully this time it will work out.
This is another words of wisdom, help others to solve their problem, you will solve your own problem. In a sense, it does make people successful by applying this.
Imagine that you want to help the poor. Say, you want to save a village , to let them have safe drinking water, to help them to have good sanitary system, etc. To solve this problem, you are thinking of making more money and donate to them. They are the motivation for you to keep striving and make more money until you can make them happy. You want to make all of them happy.
So, in the end you keep wanting to donate more money for them, for that to happen, you work hard and think of many ways to earn more money. Once you solve their problem, eventually you are rich already. Not just being rich, your reputation is darn good and many more good fortune and wealth to come to you.
Rich people do charity, the more they give, the more it return back to them and lesser tax to pay to government. By helping others, eventually and indirectly they are helping themselves.
