A Quote Worth Considering

Great Advice

I'm an advice guy. I've always enjoyed short, and to the point conversations (thanks Dad). Every once in a while I hear something that is such a powerful (yet, extremely obvious comment) and it's worth repeating.

Here It Is!

Are you ready for it? The quote I heard today was:

"To do as little as possible in the long run, Tyler, do as much as possible in the short run."

Go get it...

The Universe

Why Is The Universe Talking To You?

It's a valid question and one I have to cover before I make my point here. I subscribe to a super cool *FREE* daily e-mail called "TUT..A Note from the Universe". I don't get paid to mention them.. I'm probably not even on their radar, however, this is a very unique service and I thought I'd share it.

Wasn't that cool of me?

Each day I get a note from The Universe (or some really smart and sassy guy in a cubicle) and It's always motivational and makes you think.

Back to the Point

Yea, I did have one.

Financially, everyone wants to retire. They often want to retire sooner than later.

But guess what?... They want to buy the Escalade and throw it up on 30s (that's a big, big wheel..). They're ballin' right now. But what happens when they have to buy a Fiesta when they retire?....at 80. Not so sexy huh?

I'm not against living life and enjoying it at the same time. But live within your means. You may not live the super sexy lifestyle that gets you on the front of a magazine cover, but you'll be laughing all the way to the bank.

Application of this Information

If you haven't already considered what your long term plans are, you really should.

I'm not a financial planner (nor did I ever play one on television).... But I can connect you with someone who can help. If you don't start working hard now, you're much more likely to live a fruitful life long-term.

I'm Not a Motivational Speaker

As I'm writing this, I'm quickly realizing this is a little dorky.

The big 'takeaway' from this could be applied to many parts of your life, such as:

• Financial
• Significant Other
• Work / Career
• Reading?
• Physical Health...

Ok, I've got to get back to work - but if you have any great examples of where you could apply this quote, post 'em in the comments.

Either way, this is great advice no matter how old you are. If you don't start today, you'll only have to work harder in the future!

See YOU on the beach....
