You are for sale.Let me clarify that: Your will to win is for sale.
There is an old saying, “everyone has a price.” For many, that price comes when they feel they have “made it.” It could be a million dollars, it might be $50 million, or for some it may even be just $500,000. It’s all relative. But the point is, when you reach a certain dollar amount, you begin to feel like you have enough. The time when you feel you have enough is the point when you quit. You quit pushing for more, you quit trying to go for it, you hang up the cleats, and you call it a career. You begin to take it easy because you’re satisfied with the status quo.

You’ve been bought.
[gap height=”15″]
You reached a certain dollar figure, a certain goal, you cashed in your chips and are no longer playing for more. You’re finished.
[gap height=”15″]
People who are finished no longer play the game. It’s no longer “advance and conquer” – it’s “sit back, conserve what you have and hope it doesn’t diminish too much.”
[gap height=”15″]
For me, I will not stop pushing for more, because to do so would be selfish. The more I have, the more I can give.
[gap height=”15″]
This is why I tell people through social media that mere millionaires are selfish – they’re satisfied with providing for themselves when they could be pushing for more and really help their whole community, even the whole world.

The question I am continually asked is NOT “how do you make so much money?” or “how can I grow my business?” even though I do get asked those questions frequently. The one I continually get now is, “When is enough, enough?”

I will not stop pushing for more, because to do so would be selfish. The more I have, the more I can give.
[gap height=”15″]
The answer to that question is simple. “Never.”
[gap height=”15″]
How you react to that answer says a lot about you. Many people are shocked that one person can literally never have “enough.” They think it’s stupid, wasteful.
[gap height=”15″]
What if I told you that there is no such thing as enough?
[gap height=”15″]
I became a millionaire by age 30, and throughout my 30s, I became a multi-millionaire. Today, I’m 60 and I’m a hectomillionaire – and for those who don’t know what that means, the hecto prefix denotes a factor of 100.
[gap height=”15″]
And now, I’m shooting for a billion dollars (and I’m not apologetic about it).
[gap height=”15″]
Many people think a billion dollars is excessive. The truth is, many people think a million dollars is excessive and more than enough. What’s your number? For a person in India making $2 a day, $50,000 may seem like enough.

When is Enough, Enough?
[gap height=”15″]
My first book was titled Sell or Be Sold. The concept: you are either selling others in life or you’re being sold by them. And too many people have been sold that they have enough.
[gap height=”15″]
Enough is never enough if you have enough reasons to keep pushing. Many people criticize me when they hear me talking about wanting more when they see me flying in a private jet, owning thousands of apartment buildings giving me cash flow every month, when they see me come out with brand new products for sale at my store, when they see me push for more, more, more.
[gap height=”15″]
I know my purpose, and I know that I don’t have enough yet … and I know I can help more people. My potential has not been reached because I can – and must – do more. I’m not for sale.
[gap height=”15″]
Criticize me all you want … I’m going for a billion dollars and beyond.
[gap height=”15″]
And then, I’ll look for some more.
