Rich Is A Decision
I just asked my wife, “what should I write my blog post about?” She said write about how you are walking around complaining you are not rich.
She’s right. With all I have, I am thinking what will it take for me to be and feel rich.
I have a home in New York City that I rent out to cover my mortgage payment, a 3 bed-room apartment I live in Manhattan, and I am sitting right now on my computer in my home in the Caribbean on Nevis writing this blog post.
My 3 1/2 year old is watching Dora on TV in the background. and my dear wife is cleaning (I just helped her with the dishes and I will be getting a maid soon to do that)
My neighbor Sunshine just stopped by to say good morning and saw the conch my wife was planning to cook for dinner. to Conch is one of the various large spiral-shelled fish widely found in the Caribbean.
He offered, really demanded to cook it for us at his beach bar and grill that holds his name.
Sunshine world renowned chef and owner of the famous beach bar and grill with his name.
Hey, I am going to stop here. I could go on and on.
Robert Kiyosaki says;
You have to DECIDE which side of the fence you are on Rich or Poor
Robert describes in the above video that most guys and gals are
…just wimps and pussies, cowards; they don’t have it. They should get a job.
At Empower Network, we call them wussies. We are not as harsh on people choosing to have a job though. There is a place and it is quite respectful for people who choose work a job.
David Wood, co-owner of Empower Network asks who else would take care of our lawns, clean our houses and take care of us when we are hospitalized if it were not for employees. We need people who choose to be employees.
I know from my experience, we have some of the best and greatest people in the world who choose to be employees and support us Entrepreneurs at Empower Network.
They are simply badass.
You have an opportunity right here and now to choose.
Forever employee or entrepreneur. I want you to choose entrepreneur because that is what I think the world needs more of. We have sufficient numbers of employees and I am concerned that the need for employees are running dry.
Making a decision to be Rich is equal to the decision Napoleon Hill describes in his book Think and Grow Rich.
But, the greatest decision of all time, as far as any American citizen is concerned, was reached in Philadelphia, July 4, 1776, when fifty-six men signed their names to a document, which they well knew would bring freedom to all Americans, or leave every one of the fifty-six hanging from a gallows!
You have to decide to be rich.
OK, OK, OK. You want to get technical. Here Webster and Merriam define rich:
having abundant possessions and especially material wealth
You don’t have that? I’m willing to bet you do, yet they are likely much different from mine and every other person on Earth.
As Robert describes, you have a choice.
Which side of the fence are you on rich or poor.
I am rich.
