Shiny Objects

Ever find yourself seeking the next Shiny Object that will take care of you for the rest of your life? I swear I must be the Salesman's dream ... everything looks so great and wonderful. I have a tendency to buy everything!

Actually it isn't the salesman fault ... they are just doing their job ... and I really do want their product. I just find that I don't have the time ... or don't take the time to look at it objectively and establish if I can do what is needed to properly give it a chance. Am I doing myself a justice to obligate to a new plan?

In reality, it all comes down to focus. I have this really good friend that has advised me on a number of conquests that I need to focus on one thing and bring it to completion before moving on to the next thing. I keep thinking that if I have multiple items going on at the same time ... I'll be able to have multiple streams of income.

The flaw in my thinking is that I never complete the first before moving on to the next ... or I try to do it all at the same time and only manage to lengthen out the time that it would take to actually bring in the first stream of income.

In the mean time ... I'm having to supplement my income with a job that only takes more of my time and distracts me from my goals. I find myself traveling in vicious circles.

The challenge for all of us is to see what we are striving to achieve ... our goal ... and what it actually takes to arrive in that position. What are we willing to trade to acquire that desired object or lifestyle?

Warmest Regards!
