Stopped but didn't Stop.

There was an old lumberjack known for his speed at cutting down trees. One day he was challenged by a younger, stronger lumberjack who knew he could beat the older guy and earn glory for himself.


On the day of the contest, the younger lumberjack started immediately and worked tirelessly all day without stopping cutting down tree after tree. On the other hand, the older lumberjack took a 15-minute break every hour.


Yet, at the end of the workday, when the cut trees were counted, the older lumberjack cut one-third more trees than the younger man!
“How did you beat me? How did you work less time and cut down more trees?”, the young lumberjack asked. “I didn’t stop all day but you stopped every hour.”

The wise, older lumberjack smiled and told the youngster, “I stopped for 15 minutes every hour to sharpen my axe, and so the work that I did was more productive.”


Just like the younger lumberjack, you may think working 18 hrs a day and learning all by yourself guarantee a winning ticket to Financial Freedom.
But that’s nly the case, Most highly successful people believe in working smartly instead of just working hard and that’s why they invest in unique opportunities.

Opportunities that allow them to make money 24/7 with minimal time investment.
One such opportunity is coming your way through your continued training as you fashion yourself into an old lumberjack.

Happy Sunday all.
