Have you ever seen the movie "Ransom" with Mel Gibson

What exactly is your future worth to you?

I have to ask myself this question every single day and every time I watch the movie "Ransom" I think about how much value a human life has. We have all been given talents, time, and opportunity; however, we allow ourselves to be held RANSOM by our mental oppressions. We are killing ourselves everyday that we don't grow, learn, or implement a new thing. It is evident that in order to go to the next level you have to reinvent yourself.

• Change your position
• Persevere
• Spend Money
• Study Relentlessly
• No vacation
• No Sleep
• Sacrifice early
• Sow to Charity
• Challenge Authority
• Be open to new ideas
• Go opposite the crowd
• Obtain specialized knowledge
• Go about every project with enthusiasm
• Take uncalculated risks
• Exude confidence
• Be accessible
• Take on partners in your ventures
• Read "Who Moved the Cheese"

You must break your routine if you really want to change your situation. Of course none of these tips apply to you if you are making all the money you could have ever wanted in a lifetime. But I know the truth. 3% of the population makes 97% of the money. So the likelihood that you are satisfied with your current financial situation is little to none. Zig Ziglar said it best with this quote: "Money isn't the most important thing in life, but it's reasonably close to oxygen on the "gotta have it" scale." In most cases we are solely responsible for our lack of success. Create an appetite for education and specialized knowledge and understand that your #1 enemy in comfort.
