So what motivates you? What makes you get out of bed in the morning? Throughout my 60 plus years on this planet, I have come to the conclusion that there are only four reasons for why we do for what we do. I call these the four ultimate motivators. They are money, power, sex, and love. Everything that we do in life has to do with one of those four reasons. Trust me, I can go on and on about power, sex, and love so I will focus my attention on money. In my next blog I will talk about what money means to you, but today I will focus on the why.
Most of us have to get up in the money to earn a living and pay our bills, but paying your bills is not living, it is surviving. To truly live, you need more money than the monthly obligations. People talk about living from paycheck to paycheck, but that is a misnomer. It is surviving from paycheck to paycheck. If someone is in that situation, to truly live, one must get out of that bubble, take matters into his own hands, and generate funds to achieve his dreams. To me, that is living, that is not surviving. The thing is, getting out of that bubble takes initiative and courage. They are afraid of making a mistake, but that fear is holding them back from living the life they truly want.
That is my motivational factor. I choose to live. I want and I demand of myself to do what is necessary to live life on my terms. This past week I came to the conclusion that I will no longer be working full time at the end of 2026. I will either be semi-retired or retired in 28 months. The next question is, how will I make that happen? The answer for me is twopercentgoal.com
I cannot guarantee the future. I can only formulate a plan based on historical data. My goal is to double my money each year with virtually no risk. I know that sounds pie in the sky, but the data supports it. I can show you how to do it for free, or, for a monthly fee, I can email you daily recommendations of stocks poised for a 2% gain usually within a week. If I can make 2% per week every week that’s an annual return of more than 100%. This is me. I am putting it out there. One thing I have learned in life is this. I can get everything I want out of life if I can help you get everything you want in yours. Here’s to a full and happy life for both of us.
Cheers,
Al
