Lesson#​2 Enough money is enough

Life is a competition. 
The one who dies owning the most money (and possessions) is the winner.
Posthumously. ​

Naaah. That’s not what I believe at all. Although, for a while, I did get on and ride the Money Train. And I did quite well. I certainly earned a few million. And I spent them. The more I earned, the more I spent. That was the easy part. Too easy. Money is the cheese in the mousetrap.

The Money Go Round

As an entrepreneur, a one-person business owner, it was my responsibility to:

• do the research
• study and learn
• develop my skills
• do the marketing
• get the prospects
• get the sales meetings
• close the deals
• do the assignment (for which I would get paid)
• send the invoices
• get the money
• pay the company bills
• pay the company taxes
• pay my salary
• pay my income tax

and have enough money left over to go around again and:

• do the research
• study and learn…etc

And I would not have had it any other way. Working ‘for myself’ or being ‘self-employed’ was as close to heaven as it came during the Entrepreneur Years.
