I was talking to my partner yesterday and I was telling him about a story I read about the folks who crossed the Sahara Desert, like the people who try to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Every year people try to make that crossings and mark it off their list.

So this guy...

he tried to cross the desert 3 times and failed. Each time he failed, he ignored the paths, wanting to beat a path by himself, and each time he lost his way, wandered off and had to be rescued almost at the point of death.

Now the funny thing is, there's a clearly defined...

path for the crossing. This path is marked by black oil drums around 1km apart, from the start of the crossing to the end where there's an oasis. All you need is look out for those drums and reach each one. As long as you reach each drum, you'll sooner or later make the crossing.

So 4th time out,our guy follows the path and reaches his goal.

I couldn't help but see the analogy in his story in how people try to pursue and get money. There are fundamentals to follow, but people always think they can cheat the process, cut the journey and get what they want

That's why schemes like Wonder Banks, MMM, Swiss Golden and "grant" form buying thrive.

People try to cheat process, but it doesn't work. If if you succeed, soon you run out or money because you don't have the skills to multiply and grow it,which you learn to master via process.

Now someone who get it are next plagued with the urge to compress time. So you start a business today, and you want to turn over =N=10 million in 30 days.

If you're new to business, it probably won't happen. Like the guy crossing the Sahara, you're trying to reach the finish...

line on your own.

You need to follow the fundamentals and look for the "black oil drums". Your goal when you start is to reach "one oil drum" at a time, not try to go from the first drum to the final one in one leap.

So your goal should be to know enough to earn your first...

=N=100,000. That's your first "oil drum". Then next, you develop yourself to earn your first =N=500,000. That's your second "oil drum" After that, your goal will be to earn your first =N=1,000,000. That's your third "oil drum".

Sometimes you'll find you know enough to go from...

your first =N=100,000 to =N=300,000 to =N=2,000,000. The point is, this journey will be completed by walking not by flight. And so on.

As you go along, you're going to hit ceilings. It's your job to learn how to break through them. and when you do, you'll find your mind has...

and mental capacity has like a band that's exceeded it's elastic limit will not go back to the previous income levels anymore.

You'll get to the point, where you then start flying non stop.

Stop putting pressure on yourself guys.

Find and focus on the oil drums.
