"Visual Goals that come from Role Models"
At least twice a week I stop into the local coffee shop near the office. Over the past month, there's been a Lamborghini Aventador parked in the lot every now and thenthat catches my eye. Because it's there when I pull up and still there when I leave, I never get to see who the driver is.
I love this car, especially since I got to borrow a Lamborghini Gallardo for a weekend when in my early 20s. The looks, the style, the power, the smoothness in ride, everything from front to back is beautiful and makes the car a work of art!
So back to the coffee shop. When I go in, I am always aware of people around me. In fact, over the past few months I've gotten to know the owner a little bit. He comes in the coffee shop in street clothes, buys his coffee and sits in random places each time working off a laptop.
He holds himself as a very genuine Guy. Sitting with him, he makes conversation easy. Last time I spoke to him, I found out he doesn't just own the coffee shop, he also owns three other businesses.
The reason I'm thinking about how this coffee shop owner, the coffee shop and this Lamborghini all come together is, as of today, it now became my visual goal.
Today, shopping at the mall with my family, the same Lamborghini I've been noticing pulls up next to us and of course it's the coffee shop owner who gets out.
I of course greeted him as we were walking into the mall. He reminded me of what the success I want looks like me. He, in my mind, is an ideal individual to look up to and a perfect person to have as a visual goal.
I want to have multiple incomes; daily job, residual, investments, part ownership in a business. These four incomes will be able to provide the necessities for me and my family. But what this owner reminded me about is when success is in your pocket, you don't have to become a typical rich stuck up jerk like some people become.
Money doesn't need to rule us, we don't need to flaunt it. But doesn't mean we need to live in a bubble when successful.
Find a visual goal you want to live and use it for motivation to work 10X harder then the day before. Find a certain individual who is living the goal life you want and use it for determination each day where you are going to be.
I found out that my excitement walking into the coffee shop and seeing the owner now just became ever more exhilarating seeing similar success I am working towards.
