Where Do You Want To Be 10 Years Down The Road?

If you notice recently, i have been talking a lot about dreams, goals and retirement and it seems more like a self help blog now then an Internet Marketing blog. haha I apologize for that.

The reason being me having so much thoughts about all these is because my girlfriend is graduating from University soon and she’s considering joining my friend, Desmond Ng,  at AXA to start her own business in the Financial Advisor industry.

She was confused as to whether she would be competent enough to take on the challenge and the rough roads that laid ahead of her if she decide to choose the road less traveled and wish to command a salary that’s different from what 80% of the people would receive.  She was choosing between finding a 9-5 job in the bank or starting her own business in AXA. We had a good talk and i remembered asking her this question.

Where D o You Want To Be 10 Years Down The Road?

She said she wanted to have her own BMW and live in her dream condominium and live a life that other can only dream.

Since she knew exactly where she want to be 10 years down the road and knew that working a 9-5 job will never bring her to where she wants to be. Then getting a job shouldn’t even be in her thoughts at all. If your job cannot bring you to where you want to be, then why even go for it?

I told her that she could get a job and start an Internet Business or a eBay Business at night when she’s off work. But she felt that an Online Business since too far fetched for her even though her boyfriend, which happens to be me, is carving a living and career out of the Internet.

Nevertheless, she chose to start her own business in AXA despite disapproval from her parents as well as the divine lot. I must applaud her for her bravery and courage to take the first step out towards success.

We have already set up our goals clearly and specifically what we want to achieve in short term, mid term and long term. You can view my goals here for my Internet Business & Options Trading.

What i want to stress here is that knowing exactly what you want to achieve in life is crucial to ultimate success. Know what you want and plan how you can achieve that goal. If you know a particular job cannot get you to where you want to be, then it really shouldn’t even be in your choice at all.

There’s like probably 101 ways of how you can go about making big in life and i think choosing to find a job and make someone rich should the the 102th choice.

Hey Ivan,

That’s very true…Having a dream and clear goal will bring you to the place you want very much faster.

But i learn that having a dream and goal is not enough.

You need a good and strong REASON to do that, a REASON of your own….that will set your commitment and determination straight on the target…

Wish You and Soo Chin All The Best!
