When I was a teen in the 70′s there was a disco song named Makin’ It by David Naughton. The song was the theme for a sit-com by the same name. Yeah, I know, disco? Well, you get what the artists crank out at the time.
Anyway, I remember singing this song as I drove my 1972 Maverick to work everyday. I worked 10 hours a day in a factory and spent my earned money at the bars in the evening. As I sang along with that song I would dream of makin’ it.
Makin it, to me, meant that I wouldn’t have to go to the facotries anymore. I would be able to do what I want, when I want. I was just out of high school and I wanted the world.
Many years later I succeeded in changing my life’s direction so that I wouldn’t have to work in factories anymore. There’s nothing wrong with them if it’s what you want to do. Pay and benefits are ususally good. I just didn’t want to do that anymore.
Question is, did I make it? Since it’s my life, it’s my call. I say I did!
But that was only temporary satisfaction. Now that I achieved that goal, I wanted something else. I held some other achievement as “Makin’ It”. When I attained that goal there was another one, and so on.
My point is, to keep yourself going you need to have those goals in your life. When you make one there should be another, and another.
What goals, you may ask? It’s your life, you have to set the goals. You have to take the steps to grab the brass ring. No one can do it for you but there are people that can help you get there.
Now Financial Times is one of those places you may be able to turn for help. Whether you need a loan, credit analysis, advice, or a FOREX system, there are many businesses there with many years of experience that can help you no matter what stage of life you may be in.
Stay tuned, more to come…
