Doing whatever it takes

You’ve all heard me say we have to do whatever it takes many times and I know many of you do, but I think as a culture we don;t really embrace this process as true or valuable.

When I spoke in Taiwan recently I was talking to my translator at the end of the event to discover he is a PHD in finance and a professor at Taipei university.  And he was translating at an event to learn more about being successful.

In fact the room was full of highly qualified professionals who were not above doing whatever it took to get more educated to get better results.

And in their culture it was almost shameful for them to be seen with “lesser” educated people in this environment.

It really struck me just how much more committed to their own success they were than many in NZ and OZ.

When I asked them what the government would do for them in their old age they immediately shouted “NOTHING!”, so I guess that helps motivate but I must admit I was really challenged to see so many people move outside of their comfort zone and their own cultural norms to learn how to improve their financial position.

It was an honour to teach them and I felt like I learned more from their attending than I taught them in content.

So how serious about your own life and goals are YOU??

Really??

So what are you doing about that today my friend, or is just a nice “idea” with no actions attached
