Why You're Not (Super) Rich Yet!!!
Have you ever wondered why you aren't super rich yet? Well now you will know why.
The really successful people I know or at least read/hear/watch about are all busy, persistent and hard-working people who worked their way up and didn't take any short cuts to their dream jobs and goals in life. They are so busy earning and building their riches that they do not have time for idle activities like play computer games, watch lots of TV series, spend the rest of the day reading a book, do household chores and other things we always do because we have lots of free time after our 8-5 work. Yes, these millionaires can go on spectacularly lavish vacations, and yet even on vacation they will still be working from time to time.
How do I know this? Well if you own a multi-million dollar company, I don't think you have time to even breathe. Lol. Kidding aside, I've read tons of articles and books, watched videos and TV shows to know that these successful people really have a busy schedule to keep AND they actually live by their schedules.
Have you seen the movie, The Devil Wears Prada ? The character Miranda Priestly is based on a real person: U.S. Vogue editor Anna Wintour (pic above). She always has to meet different kinds of people just to run a successful "magazine empire" so it is very important that her assistants are all competent enough to do their job seriously.
How about the US reality TV show Million Dollar Listing: New York, have you seen it? This show is a spin-off of the original series where real estate agents (brokers) are filmed on how they work. These people are the hardest working people I know because when you see the show, you think it's all so easy but it can actually really be stressful to be in this industry. Don't get me wrong, there is no easy job in whatever career you choose. It all comes down to what you like to do and who you do it for.
All the members of this show have become successful in the real estate industry that you might wonder, how do they do it? Well aside from working hard and smart, first, they are cut-throat. Even if one of the cast members, Fredrik Eklund is originally from Sweden, you will see how he can really be a shark and do underhanded things. The first few seasons you will see how bad he was as a person because he would do everything to get a sale.
Second is Ryan Serhant who is charming and looks good but also comes second in the shark attitude compared to Fredrik. Third was someone who left the series in the first season because he was a newbie and is too kind and soft, as portrayed in the show. The one who replaced him on the second season up to the fifth has more pizzaz and added such heart to the series that I believe he was the reason the show became such a hit. His name is Luis D. Ortiz, who by the way, is from Puerto Rico. He's the most honest of the three although of course he's not perfect too.
What do they all have in common? Well they all have one goal that they work really hard at, all the time. They also realize the value of taking the time to care for themselves one way or the other in order to continue their success. You will never really see all the difficulties in this job on the show but I personally know because I am also in the industry.
Actually there are differences in the business here and in the US but it still falls in the same kind of work. You call and/or meet people, you find clients and buyers, you invite people to see the properties etc. Everything can be work work work that you may not have time to play or relax anymore unless you put some time in your busy schedule.
If I compare myself to them well hey, I'm really not gonna be on here anymore if I work like them, but I'll definitely be richer with six or seven digits in my pockets soon enough. Hahaha
Unless you work as a blogger or vlogger and are really paid to write or make videos then you can get rich doing it too. You just have to monetize your blogs and YouTube channel and create great content that lots of people can appreciate. This means you will always have to create valuable content which, as you should know, can take many hours to make depending on the length and quality. You also have to take care of maintaining the look and feel of the website, plus managing each of the social media accounts or you can hire a virtual assistant to do them for you etc.
Hey I'm not an expert on this but I know it's not so easy to do too, especially if your attention span is short or you are an impatient person. Because at first you will need to find a niche or an audience to speak to. You will have to find a way for them to find you as well to gain more subscribers or followers.
YouTube stars just don't pop up overnight. So anyway once you're pretty well known due to all your hard work and perseverance , businesses will then come around on their own and offer to pay you to promote them on your social media, etc.
To be really rich, these successful people still use their time (and finances) wisely and efficiently by planning, systematically, doing everything they can in focusing on reaching their goals, delegating work and also keeping their schedules in order. Most of which I seem to lack right now. Oh boy. No wonder I am not rich yet. Haha~
How about you? Why do you think you're not yet as rich as you'd like to be?
