Oh I agree with you 100% Gordon! Like I said on the air, I believe you have to put your ALL into what you feel you should be doing with your life... and I personally believe that putting your ALL into anything is what creates wealth in your life (wealth in all areas, not just in your pocketbook).
I just dont agree that Money should be the focus... or the goal. I dont think you can "create Money" in your life... I do think that money is one of the byproducts of having the right focus though
Obviously I've had to "work" to put food on the table (I'm a single mom with two kids!). And I've done things on blind faith before... like quitting my job and starting my first business (now there's a story of faith for ya!)... I am the first one to tell a person that it takes hard work and a fat time investment - and a side job even, if that's what it takes (though fortunately I havent had to do that)!
I also believe that a person's first thought on their potential and their original business plan may not always be the "right one" for them. Time, experience and self-searching will tell us what we are to become... and from there - its up to us to bring our lives to their full potential! ...and wealth will follow... wealth in all things.
You'll often hear me say: "Success - as defined by happiness... not money"
Not to say that financial independence and zero financial stress arent huge perks!! They just arent my focus
