Getting Rich Quick

Can it be done? Yes, but with hard work and a solid business plan.

For individuals that tell us we can become rich by selling a multi-level marketing product such as Amway, Mary Kay, Pampered Chef, or through some real estate investment program such as one promoted by Robert Kiyosaki in his book, Rich Dad Poor Dad, please leave us alone. I'd venture to say, especially in the case of the real estate programs, that the reason the authors are rich is because they found the true wealth strategy…selling materials to unsuspecting individuals who actually think their products will show them a step-by-step process for making it big!

If people like Robert Kiyosaki can live with himself for stealing from the poor, by all means, make your money. For the rest of us, I think a simple, yet effective approach can tackle many people's problems to having their own company, making a lot of money, or becoming financially free -

It seems so simple, but with a little planning, coordination, and thinking, a business can be made and be successful. We're not talking rocket science. In fact, my business, Menu Connect, would be bigger and better if I only put more time into it - I am 100% confident of that statement. But, even if no one else will admit it, I spend too much time in front of the television watching "Survivor", "The Apprentice", "Prison Break", and "Cosby Show." I truly believe that a person can accomplish anything they desire if they only commit their lives to it…just make sure what you commit to is really what you want.

In my case, I refuse to commit my entire life to Menu Connect. If I were to do that, I would not only sacrifice my television time! :), but also time with my wife, my son, my family, and my church and friends. Life is not only about money…I realize more every day that the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. I often wish we had more of a tendency to be satisfied with the material things we have, and focus more on relationships and character development.
