When it comes to millionaires, not every millionaire is born a millionaire. For most millionaires, it takes hardwork, time, vision, and discipline. Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Sam Walton, and Steve Jobs became millionaires and billionaires by building companies. These companies and successes didn’t necessary happen overnight. It took time, vision, and discipline. With vision, what are you setting out to achieve? Is it building a company? Is it becoming debt free? What is it you are trying to achieve? With hardwork, reaching your goals doesn’t always happen overnight. What it does take is the discipline to never give up on your dreams. Often it is easy to give up and walk away from our goals. In January, one of the goals of most people is to lose weight. In early January, they sign up for a the gym member. They go to the gym consistency for a couple of weeks. Then they lose interest or life happens. After a while, they quit going to the gym and never achieve their goal. Reaching your goal, having that vision is similar to weight lost. If you hit a bump in the road, it’s easy to just to stop, walk away, and quit. The hardest part is to get moving forward. Sometimes, you have to revised your goals. Sometimes what we achieve was not part of the vision when we set out. Sam Walton started with one store. McDonalds started with one restaurant. When Sam Walton and Ray Kroc started with one store, one restaurant, they could not have envisioned the company that would grow from that one location. Their successes didn’t happen overnight. Our dreams can become bigger than what we envision. I have read Sam Walton’s autobiography. In the book, Sam Walton talks about laying awake at night worrying about the debt as the company was growing. There will be nights when you are lying awake wondering “Will this work?” Out of the vision comes the discipline. Discipline is the hardest. Often we want to give up. Often we just want to put up our hands and walk away. Together with hardwork, vision, and discipline great things can happen to those individuals that stay the course. It takes time. As I mentioned earlier, it doesn’t happen overnight. When it comes to starting a business, most businesses fail within the first five years. However, most entrepreneurs who fail get back up from failure and start again. It’s a matter of realizing that failures can lead to successes. Define your success, define your vision, define what you are attempting to accomplish. So, whether it money, investing, careers, or life, put yourself on a course to success.
