THE SAME DOOR LEADS TO THE SAME RESULTS

One of my favourite business stories is about a middle-aged manager
struggling to pay his bills, so he decides to get some advice from
a financial expert.

The manager makes an appointment to meet with a well-respected
financial advisor whose office was located in a swanky building on
Park Avenue.

The manager enters the expert's elegantly appointed reception room,
but instead of a receptionist, the manager is greeted by two doors,

one marked "employed" and the other marked "self-employed."

He enters the door marked "employed" and is greeted by two more

doors, one marked "makes less than $40,000" and the other "makes
more than $40,000."

He makes less than $40,000, so he enters that door, only to find
himself face to face with two more doors. The door on the left is

marked "saves more than $2,000 a year," and the one on the right is
marked "saves less than $2,000 a year."

The manager only has about a thousand dollars in his savings, so he
enters the door on the right - only to find himself right back on
Park Avenue!


THE SAME DOOR LEADS TO THE SAME RESULTS

It's painfully obvious that the manager in the story will never get
out of his rut until he starts choosing to open different doors.

The moral of the story is that most people are like the manager -
they choose to enter the doors of life that lead them right back to
where they started.

The only way for people to get different results is to chooseto
enter different doors, isn't that true? Like one of my mentors
always used to say, "If you continue to do what you've always done,
you'll continue to get what you've always gotten."

Is it time to open another door in your life before you hit
65? Why 65? It's because out of every 100 people who hits 65,
statistics place them in the following categories;

1 will be wealthy,
4 will be financially independent,
5 will still be working,
54 will be dead broke and dependent on others,
36 will be dead.
