How Much Space Do You Have

Let’s go.

This is a very powerful idea. At least I think so. The first time I heard this point being made, I was like “Wow”, very interesting.

“Mike, tell me right now what it is.”

Amigo, relax. Hold on.

We’ll get there.

First.

Understand that in my opinion the fastest way to fail is to live SELFISHLY.

Selfish entrepreneurs have “SMALL HOUSES” and “SMALL INCOMES”. Value that you have, that you don’t share, really doesn’t exist.
Onward.

Real success is about service. It is. I didn’t make this up. For thousands of years, smart people have been trying to tell us this. Few listen though.  Let’s get to the powerful point that I mentioned above.

Question.

How much SPACE do you take up in the world?

“Mike, what?” I’ll ask it again. How much SPACE do you take up in the world?

Let me quote the great Andrew Carnegie, Napoleon’s Hill’s sponsor.

“Whether a person occupies the position of employer or employee, the space he occupies in the world is measured precisely by the quality and the quantity of the service he renders, plus the mental attitude in which he relates himself to other people.”

Powerful. And there’s more.

This is what Napoleon Hill added on this same topic.

“And let it be also remembered that the space one occupies in the hearts of his fellow-man is determined precisely by the service he renders through some form of sharing his blessings.”

He also says, “He who has not learned the blessed art of sharing has not learned the true path of happiness, for happiness comes only by sharing.”

2 questions.

How much space do you take up in the world today?

How much space do you desire to take up 12 months from today?

Stop rushing. Stop expecting riches by Friday. Change your mind.

Yes, change your mind. Serve. Share. Profit. (Repeat.)

Think about giving, getting will follow.

Oprah, Gates, Spielberg, Look at the space they occupy.

YOUR best days are ahead of you. They certainly are.

Love Ya! You’re The Best!
