Why not just have one goal Rosa?

Expand full comment

Wow thanks for reply Tim much appreciated firstly and thanks for asking such a direct question , the one goal is to expand consciousness by allowing the mind to expand to 5000 goals over 30 years it allows the inner world to start creating a dot to dot picture to generate a bridge of incidence , this is also an extremely deliberate experience to get so details in these goals that the brain can vividly imagine and begin to create , in short one goal expand consciousness into the super consciousness the I AM creator and begin generating from expansion.

Could you open even a bit more about theory behind 5000 goals?

Never heard anything like that. Why not just 1-2 long term goals?

Wouldn’t that be just tasks after another eventually? 👀

From the book : A happy pocket full of money , the theory behind creating such a list expands your mind / consciousness into the super consciousness and begin to create a bridge of incidence from completely one goal leading to the next yes , each goal needs to be details and visualised eg: I am going to create a feature wall in my hallway , in my home - with greenery -with roses -in artificial flowers and green grass - I’m going wall mount them but make the removable and inter changeable. I have read your page and I agree multi tasking isn’t great as it doesn’t allow you to complete anything properly or focus all of your attention on one task but interestingly doing this task and btw only up to 100 goals , I’m finding it difficult to expand pass this which means my goals and my inner desires haven’t even been explored as yet I’m only surface level goal setting possibly from the ego not my true self I need to keep going to keep diving deep within myself to find out what truly peaks my interest . I hope this is of more assistance and helps you better understand my original comment , book is well worth a read or listen again to expand the consciousness, thanks also for the engagement to help me push past my fear of speaking openly much appreciated

Tim I am curious, you have escaped the rat race and "made it" as a writer now. What did you write out before that was true?

I wrote about whatever I wanted and still do. The difference is I learned about online business. It's rare t figure it out alone with trial and error. What's your goal?

Expand full comment

Good to know. I asked because it seems like a lot of your writing today is focused around escaping the rat race. I wonder what your tone was when you were still in the rate race and hadn’t grown into what you are today.

My goal is to write about Finance topics that come to me throughout the week and mix in my personal stories alongside it, so that the finance concepts aren’t so dry and so they are easier to grasp.

These are all exhilarating. This one resonated with me the most today, “Be willing to go broke. Because you can always make the money back again. Protecting the little you have is how you never become wealthy.” It could be applied so many ways monetarily and otherwise.

What's next for you Laura?

Leaving the drudgery of 9-5 in corporate America and fostering my other ways to make money. Fully. I quit my job in June, but continued to have one foot in the door doing part time work. I think the worry about going broke is what kept me from being fully committed to my new path.

All ideas are spot on but "Choose one goal and work on it for 10 years while doing 10,000 iterations." got me. Sometimes Consistency is not the only thing. Iteration is the King!

Consistently doing the wrong thing doesn't work, right?

Absolutely!

Urgh! I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm in love with your brain. The only thing I can't do right now is be willing to go broke. I would if it weren't for the kids. Just thinking of giving up their private school where they love their teacher and they love their friends and they come back home with a new exciting thing to share every day--breaks my heart. Can't do it. Won't do it. I'd go hungry, don't care. Would do me good with how much weight I gained this year. But the kiddos will get to go to a place they love that makes them feel smart and valued, and makes them better people. Period.

I used to think kids weighed people down but in fact, they give you wings to fly

My daughter certainly gave me wings for sure.

They do give me wings, that’s true. I just can’t afford to go broke anymore :) give and take.

Have you done it Erwin?

Yes but this is the first time I’ve heard it phrased “divorce your old friends.” Makes sense.

Is there an issue with buying a Tesla, do you think? Be honest and brutal.

I’ve known for a while that I have issues with average people, and I used to struggle with being different (or “not normal”). This piece sums up everything I’ve been thinking about and more!

For me it is refocusing on students that need more. The "obsession" for me is reaching every last one. Thanks.

Over the last several months, I have observed my former life shedding in a rapid and accelerating rate.

At first. I found it somewhat 'sudden' and abrupt until .................

Until I made the connection to the realization that I had grown deeply discontented with the events and elements of my Life and life (The large 'L' Life being the events and moments operating around me while the small 'L' life means the inner aspects of who I really am and shall continue to be for me).

Returning from grocery shopping and then eating my afternoon meal of clean foods -- i was led to my email where I discovered this very divine and charged article deeply reflecting one of my decisions as I returned from the shopping:

Live LARGER than Large.

You always seem to come along at just the right time -- because of course it's all about ME! As I ramp up my new theatre company, I've encountered most of the challenges you named here. It's like you're my coach on the sidelines yelling just the right things at the right time.
