@grantcardone “Swore if I ever made it I’d help others.” Success Can Come at Any Age We all know the art of master painters like Cezanne, Picasso, Da Vinci and Van Gogh. Some of them reached fame and fortune early, some late, and some not at all in their own lifetime. You don’t want to be like the last one, who never got there. All of them who reached wealth and success did it through constant training, hard work, and perfecting their abilities. No one remembers the artists who gave up, didn’t pursue their dreams and stopped pushing to their potential instead of living in their ‘reality’. I’ve talked many times about becoming a millionaire by age 30 but many of you are older or much older than that already — you can still reach wealth. If you weren’t an early bloomer, you can still get there. You need big, bold impact to massively increase your income, but you also need constant, steady persistence to build your wealth. To put another way, the lesson of the tortoise and hare teaches children that the tortoise wins because he takes his time, whereas the hare rushes, becomes tired, and misses the opportunity to win. We’re supposed to learn that we should be a tortoise — that people should approach things steadily and slowly. This is incomplete. If there were a third player in the fable who had the speed of the hare and the steadfastness of the tortoise, it wouldn’t be a competition — they would dominate. You need to approach your finances like the tortoise and the hare — by committing, getting started and also by staying with it throughout the course of the “race.” Be the tortoise and the hare. Or, like the master painters, you don’t want to hit it big and not keep up that fire. A painting done by Picasso in his early 20s was worth four times as much than a painting he did when he was older. For Cezanne, it was the opposite. You don’t want to hit it big early or late, the idea is to do both and even if you are past your 30s you can hit it big and keep that up if you commit to creating wealth and success in your life. #10x #milliondollargiveaway #realdeal #picasso #soultrepreneur #dadtrepreneur #success #visionarylifehakz @vamuseum @jr @tailopez (at Wales)
