Cartoon Motivators – DON'T be jealous of the rich!
Here’s today’s Cartoon Motivator making the point about not being jealous of rich people. You have to admire what they’ve achieved and this will help you on your road to success.

REASON # 10 – You worry what your family and
friends would think about you if you read or listened
to self-development material.
I'm going to be one...a SUCCESS!
I was always embarrassed about reading self-development
books on the train into work.
That was until I realised who was still going to be on the
same train in five years time, and I knew it wasn’t going to
be me!
I still get raised eyebrows from my family, but I will be
the one who is smiling when I achieve what I know that I can
achieve. Only this evening…my sister laughed out loud when
I told her that my eBook was called “The Science of Success”
But…at least I am doing what I want to do.
I take my personal development seriously.
Others may ridicule you…or laugh behind your back…but
they will be the jealous ones when you reach your dream…
and they are still stuck in never-never land!
So the moral of the story is…
Do what you want to do with your life…and not what others
say you should do.

REASON # 8 – You believe that you can only make
money if you have money.
You Can't Beat A Great Desire!
If you were to analyse how self-made millionaires made their
fortune, you would undoubtedly find that most of them started
with practically nothing.
With opportunities such as Network Marketing and the Internet
ordinary people have the opportunity to start a business at
very little cost. The degree of effort, and not the amount of
money, separates the rich from the poor.
Why is it that when you look at the Western world there is a
higher proportion of ethnic-minority millionaires than in the
general population? Part of it may be in the difference in
cultures…but the biggest reason is DESIRE.
How many stories do you read year after where millionaires
are interviewed…and they say that they came to America with
only the clothes on their back?
Because they appreciate how lucky they are…and what an
opportunity it is for them…they work…and work…and work.
They work until they become successful. Money doesn’t come
into the equation.
Success is a feeling…it isn’t an amount.
Once you realise that, you will realise that money is just a
part of the overall package.

REASON # 7 – You look at what you can buy with
your salary increase – not how much you can save.
I know many people that have homes to die for. The only
problem is that their mortgage is bigger than the house!
The equation is simple – if you increase your borrowings in
line with your salary you will be poor when you retire. If
you increase your savings in line with your salary you will
become rich when you retire. It’s really that simple.
In the classic book “The Richest Man in Babylon”, George S.
Clason wrote that if you saved 10% of your salary every
month…you would become rich. Although the book was written
in the early 20th century…it’s probably more relevant than
ever.
Save a proportion of your salary every month…even if it is
only 1%. And make sure that you cannot easily access it. If
you do this…not only will you have some money behind you
…but you will also get into the habit of saving.
Believe me…once you get into that habit…you will get as
much pleasure from saving and investing as you do from
spending.
It may seem unbelievable to you…but take my word for it –
it’s true!

Cartoon – Going The Extra Mile!
“Four short words sum up what has lifted most successful individuals above the crowd; a little bit more. They did all that was expected of them and a little bit more.”

Going The Extra Mile!
The above is a cartoon on my Cartoon Motivators site, someone saw this and then commissioned a redraw of the cartoon for one of their advertisements…

REASON # 4 – You do not know EXACTLY where
you want to be in five years time.
It’s not good enough to think that you know where you want
to be.
I am a firm believer in goal-setting…but I look at it a
little differently. Goals can do more harm than good. If
you look at your life now…could you have predicted where
you would be 5 years ago? I very much doubt it.
Life is complicated. Our priorities can change minute-by-
minute let alone year-by-year. Not reaching your targets
can have such a negative affect on your life. So…
Focus only on THE goal.
Focus on what you really, really want. You almost
certainly won’t know how you will get there…so how will
you be able to plan each step? Instead of looking at what
you need to do…look at what you shouldn’t be doing.
Remove from your life the tasks that don’t help towards
THE goal…and you will free up your time for tasks that
will move you towards it.
When you are moving towards THE goal…strange things
happen. Little things start to go in your favor…
opportunities present themselves when you least expect it.
THE goal begins to come to you as you move towards it…
but it will only move if you do.
I can honestly say that it worked for me. Doors that I had
assumed were closed suddenly began to open up to me as I
was writing my eBook – “The Science of Success”.
When commissioning cartoons… Pick TWO of the three options!
Good+Fast = Expensive Choose this and I’ll postpone every other project on my drawing board, my round of golf or give up my footy match ticket and work day and night to get your job done. It WILL NOT BE CHEAP though!
Good+Cheap = Slow Choose good and cheap and I’ll still do a great job at a discounted price. But you’ll have to be patient while I fit you in after my higher paying clients, updating my web site, going down the gym, my footy matches, rounds of golf and liquid lunches!
Fast+Cheap = Inferior Choose this option at your peril. It will still be delivered on time but it will be inferior, as many corners as possible will be cut. You know the saying ‘You get what you pay for!’ The least favorable option in my opinion!
For your next important project commission a professional
