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.
