One of my favourite quotes has to be:
"Faith can move mountains
but dont be suprised if the lord gives you a shovel"
but dont be suprised if the lord gives you a shovel"
&
"The giant oak lies in the acorn
but first, you must have an acorn"
The acorn is the seed of an idea!! But first we need to UNPACK the THINKING behind the IDEA - then formulate a ROAD-MAP to get to where you want to be OR what you want to achieve!!
So, I have just had a quick trip over to Queenstown (the resort capital of New Zealand) to visit my cousin Johnny. The idea behind the visit was to U N P A C K my T H I N K I N G!!
Background
For the past month odd i have been consumed with family responsibility. My father was admitted to Waikato Hospital (North Island of New Zealand) around the 29th July for a Bypass operation - complications occurred and he was admitted to Intensive Care Unit. 3 weeks later he was released into the ward for a week and is now (as i write) being transferred to Rotorua Hospital for further recovery.
What did i learn?
"It's good to have money and the things that money can buy,
but its good too, to make sure
you haven't lost the things money cant buy"
-- George Horace Lorimer
but its good too, to make sure

-- George Horace Lorimer
I learnt some very sage lessons: family are important and a passive income (along with good cash flow!!) is essential not only for lifestyle - but to allow you to focus on the things that are important without being too concerned with how to pay the bills and where your next meal is coming from!!
What now?
2am on the first day i was in Queenstown - my cousin helped me with UNPACKING my THINKING
First we had a look at his business plan: very simple, sound and exciting!! (He can tell you more about that!!)
Then he helped me to focus on first things:
- Start the Tee Shirt line: instant Cashflow(within 7 days)
- Position myself to start the 30 day challenge: Develop Skillset (Sept 1)
- Assemble a 'team' of people to engage in the 30 day challenge: develop team skillsets & Dynamics (Sept 1)
- Build a new company - focus on Cultural Mapping: short-term & long-term Cashflow and skill development (Sept 12th)
- Use the skillset developed from the 30 day challenge to develop an income with the products and niches we have discovered!! (1 October)
"Faith without works is like a bird without wings;
you can peck around with the chickens on earth
but when it comes time to soar in heaven with the eagles
you are left found wanting"
PLAN MY WORK
&
WORK MY PLAN!!!
you can peck around with the chickens on earth
but when it comes time to soar in heaven with the eagles
you are left found wanting"
I am not sure who is responsible for that quote - but it encapsulates what i need to do now -
PLAN MY WORK
&
WORK MY PLAN!!!

That's it in a nutshell
