A Sense Of Urgency



A Sense of Urgency, the last ditch effort, whatever you want to call it. I've been trying to avoid as many sports related entries as possible and leave those for the Bravado Sports Blog, however, this is the most relate able analgy.

How does a team play in the dying minutes of a game when they are down and the game is close? They dig deeper and have better chances and more opportunities than they seem to have had through the rest of the game.

Where was that through out the whole game?

Non-existent since the reality of losing had not quite set in. Its amazing how much more you have to give when you're up against the wall.

I think this is true for all aspects of life. I've seen it (and done it myself) in school for project or paper deadlines and we're all aware of the night prior to a mid-term or final. Time to get through the assignment or studying so we can get that grade.

This should be how we operate on a daily basis. If what you are working on is as important as the final exam in a college course, work it as if its the day before the exam -- always!

I'm not trying to suggest to work to the bone or burn out, but please give your task the respect it deserves.

Even if its simply landing the next client, work it like you're down a goal, your goalie is pulled and its game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

Make it happen, you'll see the difference!

Make that MOOOOOLAH!!!

Here's the reason: Making money. It can sound kind of shallow, I'll admit that myself, but making money has always intrigued me. It has also left me puzzled on more that one occasion. There's always that great idea or experience that would go much smoother with more funding, support, a cash-injection-whatever you want to call it. The bottom line - its money.


Time + Money is the ultimate goal. There are very few people out there who are wealthy in both of those categories. I think it is very attainable, no matter the economic circumstances your local area, country or world. I hope that through my journey, many people can pick up on what works, what doesnt' work, and mostly, how things work, so they can find a good fit for making some extra MOOOOOLAH themselves!

As of now, I've had jobs, changed jobs, lost jobs, owned businesses, started businesses, had some great ideas fail, and had others succeed. I personally have many goals and business models that I would love to start for a variety of reasons. Some are personal passions, others are causes that I feed strongly about, a few (I must say) are to prove a point, but the main reason is to make a positive difference.

Moving forward, I'm going to be looking at different ways to create income by taking advantage of opportunities that cross my path. I'm open minded, so if you have some suggestions, please do let me know as I think any valid opportunity should be able to touch more than just one person, and I would love to pass along the info.

Best of wealth, Enjoy reading and succeeding.
