Wanting Results Without Investment

“Results Without Investment Is A Joke!” — Chance

That was the jist of this recent post I made on Facebook. Here it is in its entirety:

This idealogy is prelevant in every facet of society today. Students have it. Adults have it. Professionals have it. Ministry leaders have it. But it’s especially a disturbing mindset of “wanna be” and newbie entrepreneurs. Without being harsh, lets examine how warped this way of thinking and speaking really is.

My Facebook post mentioned success, health, and properity (or just say money/wealth), so we’ll start there.

How can one truly be successful, in any endeavor, without putting in the necessary time it takes to achieve a particular goal?
How can one honestly have an olympian physique without spending quality time training and disciplining themselves to stick to a healthy fitness regimen?
How can one possibly become a doctor, laywer, engineer without investing a lot of money (over $100K+) and time (4-12 years) to gain those coveted credentials?
How can you legitimately make six and seven figures if you’re not willing to invest in yourself, invest in coaching, invest in mentoring, invest in opportunitites,and invest in educational programs like courses, seminars, and conferences?

The reality is, most people want instant gratification without investment. Most people just talk the talk. Most people want “get-rich-quick” schemes, microwave diets, and push-button bodies. They want to do the absolute minimum required. They want it all FREE! But that way of thinking and acting will only cost you more in the long run.

If you want top notch results in anything: relationships, health, finance, faith, etc., then make the corresponding investment required.

Anyone who wants a bachelor’s degree will be expected to invest about 4 years of time AND $40,000 to $60,000. If they wanted to get a master’s degree on top of that, another 2-3 years of time investment is required. PLUS, another $20,000 – $35,000 (depending on the field fo study). Want to add a prestigious doctorate degree to top it off? Then pay the price of investing ANOTHER 5-7 years AND $45,000 – $60,000 more!

So, how can someone change this warped ideology?

Here are 7 Great Ways to Correct The Flawed Mindset of Wanting Resulsts Without Investment:
