Fear???

Are you driven by fear?

Many of us focus so much on methods, tactics, or MEANS, that we forget what result, what END we're seeking.
Take escaping the rat race, for example. You might be so keen on getting out of the uncertainty of a 9-to-5 job, so keep on leaving corporate politics behind, so keen on not doing mindless work that you don't care about... that you focus solely on getting out.

Without investing your best brain work on what to get into... after you make it out.

Allowing yourself to be driven by THE ESCAPE is fear-based... and has a lower rate of success than allowing yourself to be motivated by your new life. Your true calling. YOUR PURPOSE.

Listen, the purpose thing doesn't have to be that heavy. It doesn't have to be what will be written on your tombstone. But it should be something that you are passionate enough about, right now, that you would do it for free. Heck, you would even pay someone to get to do this every day.


So lose the vision of living large on a Caribbean island, touring the world, etc.

Those are the side perks, and there's nothing wrong with them. But they're not the main event. They're not part of your personal, self-created formula for success.


Instead, focus all your immediate positive energy, on figuring out what fills you with passion. Design your job for the next 5 years - totally income-independent. But big on impact.


Then go out and start doing that new job.Your rat race escape will take the cue, and follow the lead.
