The Decision To Write: When you Write it Down It's Easier to Plan.

As I sit here contemplating whether to write, I can’t help but reflect on the value this post might bring. The theme of "worth" and "wage" is central to my message. The idea is simple: increasing your self-worth can directly impact your net worth, and ultimately, your earning potential. This concept was inspired by Jim Rohn, who famously said:

"To raise the dollar value in the hour, you have to raise your value in the hour."

This post will focus on principles I’ve developed and learned over time. These principles were not always clear to me, but I’ll be sharing them in weekly posts. My own epiphany came during a moment of personal defeat—a time when I realized I had spent too long masking my rights with my wrongs. Some of these insights trace back to my early career, particularly after returning home from the military. It was then that I began to truly understand how persistence can lead to success.

Principle 1: Start Where You Are

The first principle I’ll discuss is to Start Where You Are. It’s an idea that sounds simple, but it holds tremendous power. Often, we feel that we must have everything in place before taking the first step. But in reality, starting from exactly where you are is often the best place to begin.

Principle 2: The Power of Persistence

Another key principle came after what I thought was the ultimate defeat. I was let go from a company after 16 years of loyal service, followed by the collapse of a strong marriage—all within six months. I was broken, jobless, and lost. But as one author once said, we often don’t "arrive" until we face these painful challenges. It was in the face of these defeats that I realized I needed to make a drastic change. The lesson here: "
"When your direction changes, change direction."

Conclusion: Life Principles for Success

This publication is intended to help you move forward in life by following a set of principles designed to guide you through obstacles—whether you’re starting from scratch or beginning again after a setback. These principles have been learned through trial and error, as well as passed down as invaluable wisdom.

The principles I’ll share with you are organized in a way that will “jump” out at you, offering clarity and a solid structure for defining your life. You don’t have to have all the answers to succeed, but by applying these principles, you’ll be better prepared for the journey ahead.

Remember, these principles were only revealed to me after I was pushed out of my comfort zone. Life’s obstacles often serve as the catalyst for personal growth. As I mentioned earlier, when you feel like you’re at the bottom of the ladder, don’t forget: a ladder has many small steps, not large gaps. It’s the small, consistent efforts that eventually lead to success.
