Thank you Neil!
Your analysis for the Principles of Delayed Gratification is wonderfully written!
It reminds me of the story of the farmer who planted Bamboo. It takes years for Bamboo to grow unlike some other plants and trees. To grow Bamboo takes a whole lot of patience. It would be the same for those who plant orchids.
Imagine the immense gratification when their patience pays off with a Bamboo tree or the beautiful orchid blossom! They are the rewards for their labor of love!
Networking is similar ... its about taking one step at a time ... one day at a time ... one new Team member at a time.
I like to teach the 50-30-10-10 plan:
50% ... Savings for Future Use (Teaches Delayed Gratification!) 30% ... Spend on yourself NOW ... important step for attaining goals 10% ... Retirement & Legacy 10% ... Charity (Donations, Gifts, etc)
Sincerely,
Terry
