The Biggest Mistake

The Biggest Mistake

Let me tell you Jack’s story…


Jack is a Senior Manager at one of the Big Four’s and has been working in audit for over 15 years.


He’s 37 years old, has a very good salary, owns an apartment, and enjoys the finer things in life but not without the heavy demands his job brings.


On the surface, he looks like he’s got his life figured out.


But deep down inside, Jack isn’t happy with the life he’s living.


On the outside, he looks like he’s a happy, very successful guy but…


… on the inside, he’s desperate for a change.


And the reason why he’s not willing to change the life he’s living is because of a common belief that MANY people in the world have.


That belief is that it’s too late to change his career.


And, you might have the same belief…


You may not be happy with the life you’re living but…


… you’re not changing your life because you believe it’s too late for you to do that.


And the reason why you believe it’s too late for you is that logically if you change, you’re at risk of losing everything you’ve built over the years.


On top of that, many of your close friends, relatives, and family push the belief in your head that you’re too old to change your career, goals, dreams, or life.


But, I’m here to tell you that…


It’s NEVER Too Late To Change!


You see, we’re wired with the common belief that by 30 years old, you MUST have your life figured out completely.


We’re told that you must have a job that you’re making good money from.


We’re told that we must have a family by 30 years old.


We’re even told that we must have a home and not pay rent.


But if you do the opposite of what they’re telling you, what’s going to happen is you’re going to become a disgrace to your family and close ones.


And I’m here to tell you that the TRUTH is that life’s unpredictable.


You can have a super stable job that pays very well today.


Tomorrow, you can get fired from that job and you’ll hit rock bottom.


That’s why the belief that people have that you must have everything figured out before your thirties is completely NOT TRUE.


Take Colonel Sanders for example.


He failed in every job he got hired.


He failed in every business he started.


But he knew one thing, that as long as there’s drive in you, you can be successful and you can change his life.


And when he was 65 years, after 1000 rejections, he finally franchised what we now know as KFC.


Imagine, if Colonel Sanders stuck with the belief that it’s too late for him to make great things.


If that happened, KFC wouldn’t exist today.


My point is that it’s never too late to change your life if you’re not enjoying it.


Because if you don’t, you’re going to regret it.


And what I’m about to tell you might shock you.


A nurse asked every person who was living the last hours of his life.


She asked them, “What are your biggest regrets?”


And the first, most common answer was…


“I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me…”



It’s just sad…


It’s sad because many people are living their life to other people’s expectations.


So, if you’re kept from the things that other people say to you…


Things like “It’s too late to change your career, life, etc.”, just keep this in mind…


The biggest regret people have is the fact that they didn’t live a life true to themselves.


That’s why I’ve decided to share with you the 5 steps you need to take to reboot your life and built a life you not only enjoy living but LOVE as well:


Step #1: Gain a Fresh Perspective


First, you need to break from your limitations.


You’ve got to take a step back and gain a fresh perspective on just what your limitations are.


Maybe you believe that you’re not meant to do great things.


Maybe you believe that you’re not good enough to achieve what you want.


All of those are limiting beliefs and you have to break them.


The next step is…


Step #2: Identify The Challenges


After you change your perspective and mark the limiting beliefs you have in your mind, the next thing you need to do is to identify the challenges.


For example, if you want to change your job, what’s standing in your way?


Step #3: Check-In With Your Values And Priorities


The next step you must take is to check your values and priorities.


For example, when you left college, your priorities were to find a job and start making money.


But now that you’ve been over that, your new values and priorities may be to start a business, develop good relationships with your children, or simply, travel the world.


Step #4: Plan Your Journey And Goals


After you identify your new values and priorities, the next step is to plan how you’re going to achieve your goals and dreams.


Planning your journey can help you reach your desired goal faster and easier.


And the last step is…


Step #5: Take MASSIVE Action


And the last step you must take after you go through the 4 steps is simple…


Take MASSIVE action towards your goals.


A goal without action is a goal that’s impossible to reach.


Those are the 5 steps you must take to start over with your life and start doing not only what you enjoy but also LOVE.


I hope you found this helpful.


Cheers,
