We think differently to the majority of other people, that's why we have read the book or are members of this group.
Over the past few years i've found myself telling other people (friends and family) what i'm going to do, the lifestyle that i'm going to lead etc. I've been told "you're dreaming" or "you're never happy with what you've got are you?" or "we'll never have that type of house so stop showing me them" (the Wife). A friend as recently last week alluded to the fact that because i work from home i basically watch TV all day.
All the above comments i've stored in my head to help motivate me and push me everyday to prove them all wrong and make my dream's a reality. A year or so ago when i first got in bed at night i used to close my eyes and think about winning the lottery, how i'd react to the news, how i'd announce it to friends and family, the gift's i'd buy, places i'd go. Now when i close my eyes before sleep i think about how i'm going to tell for example My wife that she can quit her job because my business has is generating enough profit for that to happen. Or how i'd tell a friend "remember when i told you i was going to buy a Villa in Portugal and you said i was dreaming?, well i've just bought one."
I'm not waiting around in the slim hope that i might one day touch lucky and win the lottery, i'm going to create freedom and wealth myself with action. I've decided to stop telling people what i'm going to do and go out and do it instead.
People who don't think like us, the sidewalkers that MJ talked about or the people happy to have a mundane Ground hog day Monday to Friday job don't like to hear about us "dreamers" so the best advice i could give with regards to this is to not say anything. Don't make the mistake i did of telling people i was going to buy this house, or live in this Country etc or make this amount of money. The other people don't like to hear it.
Just go out and make it happen!
