Becoming Who You Want To Be

Many people today have income that comes in from more than one source. For example, someone might have both rental properties and a business which provide him income. This is excellent, having separate sources of income, but there is a better way.

If you want to advance a step further, you’ll need to combine your sources of income. Why? Before we can answer this question, we must look at timetable for growing these fortunes from the beginning.

In the beginning, each of these was nothing but piles of snow on the ground. The owners packed snow together with their hands into little balls, and they started rolling them down the hill. The balls would not move on their own for a long ways; the owner had to push it every step of the way. Eventually, though, the ball started to pick up momentum and require less force from the owner. In the end, the ball will roll on its own.

When it rolls on its own, it still requires attention from the owners, for they still have to steer the ball and make sure it does not go off course.

All this becomes a problem when you have three balls, you cannot steer all three at once. So, your real estate is taking off, and you have your business taking off. You are going to have to sell one and put the money into the other, because you cannot focus on both of them at the same time. This is why it is important to combine them early in the game.

Ray Kroc, the founder of McDonalds, was a genius who did this. Many people do not realize that he owned two companies, a restaurant business and a real estate business. Many who own real estate will buy a piece of property, and a tenant will pay that person for the use of their property. However, what Ray Kroc did, as a part of his franchising, was have the tenant pay for the property and pay him rent.

He could acquire property for free that paid him, because he combined his snowballs. Now, any work he does will build both his restaurant and his real estate business.

You must combine the snowballs. You must focus your efforts.
