Is $50k too much money?

Too many times I hear ...... that's too much! .... but i don't have that much. .... if i only had that much ......

Change your mindset.

Build a plan to go get whatever it is that is holding you back! Might be knowledge. Might be contacts. Might be cash.

You are not going to get a damn thing sitting back and making excuses.

Step1, what do i need to accomplish my goal?
Step2, what is holding me back or getting in my way?
Step3, how do i remove the barrier or gain the needed item/skill/opportunity?
Step4, commit to changing your mindset to one that will make that happen.
Step5, make that happen.

Challenge: Right now, go through those five steps for one of your goals.

Agreed with ygtrhos. ZCP, there are some people for whom the problem is not any lack of positive thinking or initiative.

There was a two year period in my life when the reason I wasn't making $50k, was that I was too sick to work. My oncologist's literal exact words to me were: "It's totally random bad luck that you have this tumor. I see NO risk factors that were involved here."

At that time, the answers to your question were:

Step1, what do i need to accomplish my goal?
I need surgery and chemotherapy so that cancer doesn't kill me.

Step2, what is holding me back or getting in my way?
It takes a while to get surgery and chemo and then to recover from it.

Step3, how do i remove the barrier or gain the needed item/skill/opportunity?
It is medically impossible to speed up this process in a way that has the documented statistical likelihood of success on which I'm willing to bet my life, literally.

Step4, commit to changing your mindset to one that will make that happen.
My mindset doesn't have a single f'ing thing to do with the availability of the necessary treatments and the recovery time that is required for them.

Step5, make that happen.
Out of my hands until it happens according to medical resources and prep and recovery time for me to be able to benefit from them.

At that time in my life, I didn't need a pep talk yelling at me to think positive.
I needed an oncology team, and the only reason I'm able to communicate to you today without a spiritual medium in the loop, is that I got that team and did what I had to do so they could help me to live.

Sometimes, all a person needs is a can-do attitude and some elbow grease.

Sometimes, there's a hell of a lot more involved, and compassion goes a lot farther than scolding.

The little icon for this forum on my iPad says ..... Entrepreneurship, Motivation, Startups, Marketing, Sucess, Money.

This forum has done a lot for me. One of the ways I try to give back is to help, motivate, get people through excuses and limiting beliefs. I ask questions like:
- how may have you sold?
- What will you do next to change it?
- how do you overcome this hurdle?

I challenge people. Pay exorbitant amounts for desserts. PM and skype those that need help at all hours of the night and day.

If my advice or thoughts do not currently apply to you or your particular situation, cool. Move on. Live life. Make progress.

@ygtrhos Your thread was one of three instances for me in that day where people brought up limiting beliefs. My post was an attempt to get people facing obstacles to do something incremental to hopefully overcome them. Reread it in a positive manner and see if there is any good in it.

The key part was 'Build a plan to go get whatever it is that is holding you back!'.

PM, brother. You got a lot going on in the post above. Breathe. Hang in there.

@Late Bloomer very inspirational. Wish you great health and a fantastic path to your future. Rep+
