the curiousity within
In: Umum
9 May 2010When you live your life with concern and love for others, wonderful things will happen. You will be fulfilled. You will feel a warm pride from your selfless acts that will then allow you the grace of humility. To be first, you must put yourself last. The true leader goes to the end of the line. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Be sure your words match your deeds.
Can you give a dollar to a beggar? Can you lend an ear to one avoided by others? Can you work an extra shift for a parent who needs to be with a sick child? Can you visit a shut-in? Can you speak up and defend a poor soul being teased or bullied? Can you treat all people as your brothers and sisters? Your example may become contagious.
The greatest sorrow is to be lonely and unloved. Refuse to let this happen with your idle consent. Right now, the days of homelessness, hunger, and unsafe streets can be over if we make the commitment.
Invest in Commercial Property
If you are an entrepreneur, you are in an excellent position to supercharge your financial plans. You can buy commercial property, a store, retail block, office building or warehouse for your business. You will have an investment with a great tenant, you.
As an Action Principles® Champion, you aren’t content to work in a jewelry store or muffler shop or beauty salon when you can own the businesses and the real estate. The retiring employee may be left with little. However, with ambition, forethought and action, the retiring entrepreneur/real estate investor may be wealthy. It is not unusual for a retiring entrepreneur/real estate investor to find that the value of his commercial real estate investment far exceeds the value of his business investment. Be smart; it’s great to have both investments.
In your local business networks, being alert and aware, you may find up and coming entrepreneurs. Perhaps, you can be their commercial real estate link and secure solid, long term tenants for your properties.
If you are living in a foreign country, study American companies, such as Starbucks and McDonalds. Contact these companies, find their location requirements and offer your local expertise as a commercial property developer for their franchisees.
