We're All Just Farmers

If you think about it we're all just farmers. We plant seeds everywhere we go and we hope that we're around when it's time to harvest.

I tell my kids all the time the same things my parents told me when I was growing up. It used to drive me crazy listening to it but looking back now I'm so grateful that I had parents who cared enough to plant those seeds.

Sure not all the planted seeds grew to harvest and maybe they planted a few things they didn't mean to but whatever, that's life.

The point is we all plant seeds every day, be it marketing content or taking time to help our kids with their homework...That is if you're lucky enough to still remember all that crap they taught us growing up lol.

I recommend planting some financial seeds, watering them and sticking around for the harvest.

It's so easy to get distracted from your goals, but if you really want to succeed you have got to focus. Focus on whatever it is in life that calls to you. I mean don't quit your day job till it's time but for the love of pete don't settle.

As far as I'm concerned as long as I don't quit I'm not a failure and that thought has carried me through some very dark times in my life.
