The difference between a millionaire and a billionaire.
A long time ago I heard a story where a millionaire entrepreneur was having dinner with a billionaire. He asked the billionaire, “How do you do it?” The billionaire responded by saying, “Envision a body of water with man eating sharks swimming all around and you have to get to the other side. What do you see?” He asked.
The millionaire responds, “ I am figuring out how to navigate through the sharks.”
The Billionaire replies, “There lies the difference. You are figuring out what to do with the sharks and I already see myself on the other side.”
What do you see? Are you paralyzed by the obstacles in front of you or do you see yourself on the other side of whatever challenges you face? That is why I like hiking so much. I have a clear vision of getting to the top the mountain. It is never an “if” I’m getting to the summit, it’s “how” I’m going to make it happen.
Get the point? How does this relate to your life right now?
For me, I know clearly the result I want to see coming out of the pandemic. The obstacles that come up, and they come up often, are able to be cleared because I have a explicit vision of the outcome. To be honest, it makes a world of difference.
