Life is Like Falling off an Ocean Liner During a Storm

Life is very much a storm most of the time or, at least to those of us who have chosen to be entrepreneurs and master of our life. My grandmother had a saying, "Anything worth having isn’t gotten easy."  When I was young I didn’t believe that. Some adults are as children and want things given to them without problems or having to work for it. Well, that is immaturity at it’s fullest… 

Do you have the desire to be in charge of your own destiny? Do you know where to begin to create your destiny? Would you if you could? The answer to those questions can determine your being part of the 2% who will retire with financial security or one of the 98% that will retire depending on family, friends or the government!

Think about it. Falling off and Ocean Liner during a storm in the middle of the ocean means one of three things is going to happen to you. 1.You will be eaten by sharks. 2. Go with the flow of the ocean and end up wherever it takes you hoping for rescue but usually dead. 3. Or you can choose to swim toward safety and never give up, choosing to give yourself the chance to survive! Life can be just like that if you choose to be independent and keeper of your destiny!

Most people would say that it is insane to expect to be able to swim out of the middle of the ocean. Well that’s what the "go with the flow people" said to the Abraham Lincoln, Alexander G. Bell, Thomas A. Edison, Benjamin Franklin and Donald Trump as well as many others who are and were great successful men! They were told that it couldn’t be done in their ventures!

The first group to be eaten by the sharks of the world is to buy into everything anyone - not in the know people - tells you. That is the penalty for not making smart choices. Which seems a very foolish attitude in life to those of us who choose to take a different road and refuse to buy into the floating in the ocean waiting to be rescued mentality. The second group is floating along with the tide, who cannot or will not put out the work to get to safety therefore just float with the current going along to get along waiting to win the Lottery and expecting to be taken care of by someone else now or later. Spending their time at  their JOB (just over broke) hoping the company doesn’t downsize or go bankrupt. All the while spending everything they make for fun and games and entertainment. Then there exists the third group, which is very small, 2% of the population who have the guts and drive to swim for it. Swimming the ocean is very exhausting and can seem impossible at times, you may have to float along for short periods but with work and stick-to-it-ive-ness you will make it.

Is your life being gobbled up by the sharks, going with the flow or are you swimming? It is as simple as one, two, three whatever decision you make will determine your end in life and how you are remembered or not remembered, whether you are successful or not.

I prefer to associate with you 2% who want to have your own business and are ready to swim against the majority to secure your affluent future. I have made that swim much easier by learning a few tricks in life and about Internet business and how to become a successful business entrepreneur. No I did not learn it all by myself and neither will you. A successful business life is a joint effort!

Those entrepreneurs like THOMAS A. EDISON, father of our electricity, movies, rubber and 1,073 inventions altogether, wrote, "Genius is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration." He fought the snickers, snide remarks of being Crazy, Demented, Dreamer, and other nasty remarks, to become the successful entrepreneur of his time.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN Great President of the USA - Could be called the biggest failure in the world by some. He failed as a businessman, as a storekeeper and as a farmer. He failed in his first attempt to obtain political office. When elected to the legislature he failed when he sought the office of speaker. He failed in his first attempt to go to Congress. He failed when he sought the appointment to the United States Land Office. He failed when he ran for the United States Senate. He failed when friends sought for him the nomination for the Vice-Presidency in 1856. But that didn't stop him from swimming against the current and he went on to become a great president, found something he liked and did it well!

ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL father of the telephone - Failed in his experiments hundreds of times but continued on until the telephone worked. People called him lazy, dreamer, dimwitted, and many other not so nice names but he swam against their criticism and became a great man for which we are eternally grateful today. 

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN inventor of the first enclosed stove called the Franklin Stove -- Ben also established the first fire company and the first fire insurance company in order to help people live more safely. As postmaster, Ben had to figure out routes for delivering the mail. He went out riding in his carriage to measure the routes and needed a way to keep track of the distance. He invented a simple odometer and attached it to his carriage. In his old age he invented the bifocal glasses which make life much simpler for a lot of us today. Contrary to most people’s beliefs he did not invent electricity but did study the results of it and invented the lightening rod along with many uses for electricity. We remember the kite incident that was made famous by history and say, how crazy was that? He swam against all odds and won through his persistence.

DONALD TRUMP modern day Real Estate tycoon - Built a huge fortune of hundreds of millions of dollars and lost almost all of it only to come back and gain it back and more than double his previous worth. Swam the tide of hard work and criticism.

The secret to all these successful stories and hundreds of others is; the fact they didn't go with the flow or stick with what was safe. They ventured out took risks and worked to make their dreams come true. True 2%ers swim the tide of life! Are you one?

The multi-millionaires mentioned in this article have/had multiple streams of income so therefore do I. These multiple stream income opportunities, that I discovered includes automation at it’s best with plug-ins that manages those streams with the simplest of ease and simplified my life and business - Periods of my floating – Along with Sales and Marketing literature, simplifying my business life, ready for use while leaving the Internet world in a cloud of dust with guaranteed visitors. This is the swim of my life and I’m winning too!

When you think you’re down and out, look again, there is always a way around a problem if you look hard enough! I chose a mentor to follow who had been where I was and became a multimillionaire and am doing what it did and does to get what he has... You need to find just such a person for yourself and make the swim so much easier... If you can't find one, contact me...
