Do you want to be rich? It sounds ... Of course you’d like to be rich, wouldn’t ... But do you want to be really rich? Your words might say you do, but your thoughts and actions very of Do you want to be rich? It sounds ridiculous. Of course you’d like to be rich, wouldn’t everybody? But do you want to be really rich? Your words might say you do, but your thoughts and actions very often say something entirely different.If you are still doing things the same way you’ve always done things, then reading this could be the most important thing you do all year. Why? Because your thoughts and actions can be the fuel your business needs to get up and running. Your thoughts and actions can also act like a ‘straight jacket’ making it easy for competitors to knock you around. However, if you are willing to make a personal commitment to perpetual re-education, you will come face-to-face with the most exceptional opportunities the world has ever seen.Start by redefining your business to satisfy the wants and needs of baby-boomers (born 1945 - 1965). By doing this you will be handsomely rewarded in these times of astounding and radical change.We have all been exposed to more change in the last 20 years than mankind has experienced in the past 2000 years. The situation is terrifying, frightening and awesome in its potential opportunity. We are living in one of the most exciting periods civilization has ever known - the information age. It is a period of astounding and radical change. This is “Frontierland” all over again… only now with computers, jet aircraft, lasers and cellular phones at our disposal.A phenomenon of modern society is that the rules and boundaries keep changing. Could you look at a map of the world today and name every country? Many geographical boundaries have changed or no longer exist. So too have social, political and emotional boundaries. Think about how attitudes and the world changed after 9/11. Like it or not, the rules and boundaries are constantly changing.We do need rules, boundaries and structure in our lives. So new ones have been invented to replace those that no longer seem to serve our needs. It seems that as soon as the new rules take hold, they’re superceded as newer ones come along to replace them. Even newer ones usually follow these and so it goes on.Every change seems to bring with it more turbulence and chaos than the one before. We have fewer traditions to hang on to and the world thrives amidst constant turmoil.Prepare yourself. That’s the message coming out of this volatile environment. We can’t change the world, but we can change the way we do things and the way we react to things. If we are to succeed we absolutely must be open-minded to change and have a personal commitment to re-education. We must be prepared to become a champion of change rather than a victim of it.Try it, test it and get on with it! Source: Free Articles from ArticlesFactory.com
