As the World Dumbs.

Many interesting things.

So we finished recording the EP. I'm done with the art FINALLY. I now have to finish a couple of web projects... before Wednesday. Yeah, I did a little too much procrastinating. Lesson learned.

Hard to believe I'm already about to leave on another tour. Nuts. Didn't I just get home?

I recall reading Rich Dad Poor Dad around 5 years ago and not fully understanding WHY he decided to give up all his comforts to risk taking on his real estate ventures. I remember thinking, "That's crazy. Him and his WIFE are living out of his car to chase after this."

For starters, what a wife. For her to have that much faith in her husband and support him through all of that took a lot of... well, everything.

Secondly, the amount of sacrifice he made drove him further. He was relentless. "I will make this work. I WILL find a way." That attitude. THAT'S why 5% of the population have 90% of the money out there. No, it's not a government conspiracy. It's not some underground movement to keep you poor. That 90% is readily available to you if you're willing to do what it takes to receive that money.

Know what happened? I'm going to spoil the book. He's a multi-millionaire. That's right. It was WORTH it. I can imagine him looking back on the days he lived out of his car saying, "I'd do it all over again."

Anything worth having is worth working for; striving for. This isn't just regarding money either. This goes for all aspects of life.

I think I'm gonna go take some risks now. Later. :)
