To Achieve The American Dream, Live Like An Immigrant

Let your heart rate slow down...I'm not starting a debate about modern illegal immigration issues.  What I'm referring to is the immigrants who made our country great, mainly during the first and second epochs of our countries immigration history.

These immigrants, from the colonial period to the mid-nineteenth century didn't have the watered down,  abstract idea of "The American Dream" that so many of us have today. Instead; these brave, pioneering men and women were objective and intentional about what was, in many cases, a perilous journey.  They knew the situation in which they currently lived. They identified the life they wanted for themselves and their families. Most of us do those things, but we stop short of step three. These immigrants took another crucial step: they simply stepped.  Once they knew what they wanted, they fought through hardships that most of us will never know to achieve their dream.

Once arriving in America (if they survived the trip), they took full advantage of the opportunity. They assimilated into the culture. They worked hard to acquire the land, assets and dreams that this new freedom afforded them. A large number started businesses of all types in this new capitalistic democracy. For many, the epic journey and hard work that began with a dream became a reality for their families.

So why do I say to live like an immigrant? I think it's painfully obvious.  To realize success, you need to realize the opportunity our freedom affords us. Just like those before us; evaluate the situation you're in, but don't stop there. Dare to dream, identify what you want for yourself and your family in an intentional and objective way. Now that you know what you want, have the courage to go get it. We've become numb and indifferent to our freedoms and opportunities. 

I don't know what your dream is, that's something you need to consider.  And believe me, I'm not suggesting that one dream is best for everyone. However; if you dream of work/life balance, the ability to build wealth while earning a great income, and having the support, training, and tools it takes to be successful, then watch this video.
