Fast paced world-Time to slow down

I have been around this world for nearly half a century. In that time I have seen many things like, an eclipse, war news, Star Treks first show (I was five), the first computer, the first cell phone, the first laptop, etc, etc, etc. But the thing that really worries me is how fast paced this world really is.

I like to go out to eat. Different foods and different places. I like to walk in, sit down, order and relax while my food is being prepared. I hate McDonalds, Burger King, and pretty much all fast food restaurants. It gives me pains.

The youth of today have no idea how to sit and wait anymore. They want it now, now, NOW! It is so sad too cause they think the world owes them something. They have parents that want the schools to teach their children how to act and manners. That's not their job, IT'S YOURS!!!!!

I was looking through the chat today after I asked a question and saw a post from Lynn1987 or something like that. Seems to me this person got into the sight, looked around for the fast money and said, " I looked around the web and this is not for me. Please delete my account". How sad that people do not see the opportunity staring them in the face as thousands of others have and are succeeding. You can tell that people want immediate gratification. And why shouldn't they want this. They can get a quick bite here, get answers online in seconds, shop online, even create an income online.

But they do not want to wait for it. If they don't see immediate results they quit or get angry.The world and parents are really the reason young people today have trouble waiting.

I drive a truck for a living, for now, and I see some really crazy people out there. They zip through traffic like they are trying to win a race. No lane change signals, tailgating, giving you the finger when you get in their way. Does everyone have to be a Richard Petty when they drive. I got pulled over just this morning for going 77 in a 65. I thank God for the officer only giving me a warning.

A business takes time to grow. You can't just open the doors and expect a rush of people on the first day. It takes preparation to get things moving. Planning, building, stocking, hiring, cleaning, customer serving, etc.

I live in Texas and this state doesn't really get in a hurry. When I go to a place of business and it is supposed to open at a certain time, I expect them to be there and open when that time comes. If I have to wait for them to get there, open up, and then say how can I help you, I usually say something like; "well I was waiting for you but you were late, think I will go somewhere else". Even if they have exactly what I need. So I am just as guilty of impatience as everyone else is.

WA is not a "Get Rich Quick" company. You have to take the time to work and learn what you may or may not know. If you can find a more comprehensive site out there then so be it. I looked for ten years for something like this and even thought of building it myself. Of course I don't have 8 million on me to do what Kyle and Carson have done.

Patience is the key to almost anything in life. Waiting is the hardest thing for most people to do. No one knows the future. No one knows when their time is up. Slowing down and being a little patient could save you much grief and sorrow in the future.

If your business is not where you would like it to be at the time you want it to be there, so what. Look at where it is now from where you started. Check your goal list and see where you are at now from where you were. Do you know something now that you didn't when you started? Is your business making sales now when before it was dying? .Was your business making no money and now you're generating a profit? Are you known on the internet as someone who knows what they are talking about? Do people look to you for advice about the internet?

Well then hoorah, you are succeeding! You have learned what they want. You have something that they need. Use that and make a profit from it. That is what the internet has that nothing else does. WA is here to teach you how to build on that one thing. Build a site, put the content on it and get busy letting everyone know who you are and why you are here!

Take the time to get things in order. Focus on what you have to give and give it. Life is so short. the bible says that your life is but a vapor and then it is gone. There is a business that makes millions on vapors. E-Cigarettes are a million dollar business. What do you have that can make you that kind of cash.

Slow down, take some time and think. What desire do I have that can help others and generate me a cash flow that is out of this world!!!
