"I'm don't want to be rich. I want to be comfortable"- a mistaken belief
I remember reading this line in a Herb Ecker book about the Secrets of the Millionaire Mind. I agreed with him. If a person chooses the comfortable level, that person will never be rich.
Why?
I believe that once you settle for the OK Plateau you no longer push yourself to get to a higher level. I used to tell my students that the enemy of being great is not being bad but being good. If you a jack of many things it is unlikely that you will work hard to be "an expert"( a king of one).
The reason this occurs is that once we get to that "good enough" level we start working on autopilot. We know what it takes to keep us at that level and we keep the foot of the pedal and just cruse.
Today's question is:
"Are you at a plateau?"
