Are you just going through the motions, walking with the crowd like a zombie, heading to the same place? What place?

Mediocrity!

Do you feel boxed in, suffocating with the stench of desperation and drowning in a sea of boredom?

Are you part of

The Rat Race


I am a part of the big old rat race, are you?. The one where you just go along with everything because that is what you are expected to do. You know, Get your education, get a job, find love, settle down and buy a house. Get married, have kids, work 9 hours a day 5-6 days a week etc.etc.etc.

Yeah, the Rat Race. Sucks don't it! So

What are you gonna do about it?

Making this a reality

That's right, we are on the run! Not from the police but away from the every day's the same, humdrum, bland, boring blah, blah, blah!

We are making this a reality. Going for it all guns blazing. We have found somewhere to help us realize our dreams so now we have to do something about it.

We've got the tools and we have each other. A fine community built on mutual respect and a foundation so strong that even a 9.0 on the Richter scale can't shake us or break us!

A place where the founders genuinely care and they have provided us with training that is second to none.

What next? I hear you ask. Well the next step is to

Take action

We won't get anywhere if we just sit on our backsides staring at the screen. Nope. We have to do something with what we have before us. Follow the training and take action! Build a

website and put the training into action. Write your content, post it and then write another post.

Do something, anything to make your dream a reality.

Have you done something today? Have you taken action?

If not then why not?

I realize I am asking a lot of questions but sometimes you have to. I ask questions of myself every day and if there is one person I can't ignore it is myself. I can't go away or hide because I go with me and I know all my favourite hiding places, if that makes sense!!

Ask yourself a question and it should be

Where do I see myself in 2, 5, 10 years?

Why should it be this question? Well, it's the big motivator isn't it. Looking to the future and dreaming of everything you want in life, whatever it might be. Set your goals, short, mid and long term. Visualize where you want to be and make sure that you do everything in your power to achieve it.

Don't be one of the crowd, Be you, always be you.

I know you can do it. I know you will succeed and live the life you want. How?

Because you are here, right here where you are supposed to be.

You are home and you are with family.

All the best

Tony

    Great post, Tony

    Sometimes it has been hard but it always works out for the good.
    Keep up the progress you are doing great

    Great post Tony. I ditched the 9-5 awhile back ago. Much happier being my own boss.

    Nice one Mick! I’m not jealous, honestly!!

    Thanks for sharing Tony. I left the rat race twelve years ago when I was 46. I have never looked back. I am the best boss I ever had. Lots of raises and lots of time off. A great motivational read.

    Haha 😂
    Yes, being your own boss does have its perks!

    Yes Tony, what a great family we have here at WA

    All the best

    The best family!

    Thanks for the wonderful post, Tony. We are with family here at WA!

    Virginia

    And what a wonderful family it is!

    Tony, that is a thought provoking blog.

    Thanks for sharing

    Karen

    Thank you

    Thanks for the inspiration

    Thank you

    I'm game on traveling, staying in a foreign land. I am not happy with conventional ways- 9-5 employment, a walk in the park, shopping and sleeping. Walking and all over the same every day. I do not like that not to be punctuated with travels and tours. So to break the monotony. It is what it is sometimes because you have got to make do what your budget allows you to do. That is why I am into an online business.

    And that is why you will succeed my friend!

    Nice article Tony! If you’d asked me 10 years ago, would I be living in Spain, travelling the world with a son who’s an international tennis player, would I leave my family and fly to a country that I don’t speak the language, make a home and bring this boy up to be who he is now.. and discover WA and strike out online ? I would have laughed! I wouldn’t dream I’d do that, that was so far outside my comfort zone, it was unthinkable and I like routine, same old.. comforting.. to be fair, my family didn’t think I would go either.. but.. it wasn’t for me.. it was for my boy..

    There was a turning point.. i remember it very clearly.. his tennis coach in the UK told me he would probably make a good club player.. those words were like ice running through my veins. I realised at that moment if he had a coach with no aspirations for him, he stood no chance.. That was the moment I stepped off the rat race wheel of routine.. We have never stepped back on.. and never will.

    You have done amazing things.
    Your self sacrifice in order for your son to do what he’s doing is remarkable.
    You’re one of a kind Helen and I am privileged to know you!

    Just because his coach ending up being a club player does not mean poo poo. Get a new coach.
