About 5 years ago, Fallat and I went to a "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" real estate seminar in downtown Pittsburgh. it was a three day long seminar in which I had to fly back from Idaho (where I was working at the time) and call off work to attend. I'll never forget the speaker. Mainly, because his name was Pip. And he was a total cheese ball.
We took a ton of notes, met alot of people, and had a lot of takeaways. But the major takeaway that I got from this seminar was Pip's message on motivation.
Pip said that if you are setting out to get RE investments just to make money, you will probably end up failing. In fact, you probably won't make it to the starting line. Because your underlying purpose isn't BIG enough. He used a cheesy phrase that still sticks in my head.
He said to truly reach your goals, the "why" has gotta make you "cry".
Even typing it right now makes me realize how cheesy it is. But, he's got a great point. The reason for doing something has to be greater than yourself. The reason "why" you are doing it, must be profound OR ELSE you will find excuses not to do it.
There is a profound purpose behind GoNextWorld. GoNextWorld is a business that will eventually be synonymous with progress. Our business is build on the desire to positively impact the end users progress in every day life. Four years ago, that meant throwing awesome parties and creating memories. Today, it means building software to help businesses build their client base. Tomorrow... who knows. All that I know that what we stand as GoNextWorld is much more than ourselves... and that's some serious motivation.
