Do you remember the old days?

So today brought 4 sales and a new associate plus many leads and prospects.

In short if every day went like today I could give up my job as a lawyer earning over $100,000 per year.

In a years time we will say to each other "do you remember when..........."

- I had to drive 40 minutes each way to work
- If I managed to leave on time I wouldnt be home until after 6pm
- We spent just 4 hours a day together
- If I wanted a day off we had to check the diary to make sure I didnt have a trial
- I had to check with all my colleagues to make sure no one else was off if I wanted a holiday
- I was on call once a week
- Overtime wasnt paid but expected
- I got 1 raise a year
- no matter how many clients I brought in I got paid the same
- more clients meant more work not more money
- I was still 20+ years away from retirement and anticipating a reduction in living standards not an increase
- The most precious person in the world, my daughter hardly saw her daddy when she was growing up. I missed her first step, her first words and her first day at school
- You couldnt choose who you worked with.

Why wouldnt anyone do this, it is a business plan that has made more millionaires than any other over the last 15 years.

But do you know the truth is $1,000,000 would be nice but I have learnt the hard way it isnt what you earn but HOW you earn it. For all the millionaires you see in this business there are 1000's earning a living wage but earning it in comfort, with a good lifestyle.

I earn a lot as a Lawyer but even with all the profit sharing I have, all the bonuses and annual income I still cant afford to turn back the clock and be there to hear Gemma say daddy for the first time. Gemma is 15 now and part of this, my future children will know what its like to have a dad that provides for them and is still there to take them to the park in the middle of the day.

Why anyone would not want to be part of this amazes me.
