The Air Gets Thinner Under 250K
Since Mount Everest was first scaled back in 1953 by New Zealand’s Sir Edmund Hillary, around 5,000 people have climbed the world’s tallest peak — and over 300 have perished trying.
Every year, more and more stories come out from Himalayan Mountain about climbers dying.
This past May, so many hikers were attempting the ascent that there was a giant traffic jam that formed atop the 29,000 ft. mountain, resulting in multiple deaths.
The fact is, spending time at such high altitudes is dangerous for your health.
Popular Science magazine has said, “You’re slowly dying above 18,000 feet. But when you get above 26,000 feet, you start dying much more quickly.”
The higher you get, the tougher it is.
This is exactly opposite when it comes to finances, where the lower you go, the tougher it gets.
If you make anything under 250K, the “air” begins to get very thin.
Once you hit under 75K, it gets even more dangerously thin.
Money breathes life into funding your life — where you can go and what you can do.
We live on an economic planet and EVERYTHING costs something.
- Food
- Shelter
- Healthcare
- Entertainment
- Transportation
Just as you slowly begin dying above 18,000 feet, you slowly begin financially dying when you’re unable to save anything.
Hey, don’t get mad at me and hate the messenger — the truth of this is self-evident.
How much freedom do you really have making $80,000 a year?
Your dreams can’t be funded.
You can’t buy that place you would rather live in, you can’t take that trip you really want, and let’s face it, you simply lack the financial resources to make that big dream of yours a reality.
Just as climbers on Mount Everest need to DESCEND back to safety, you need to ASCEND to financial safety.
Make it your goal to make at least a minimum of 250K in 2020.
This is BARE minimum — I’d suggest you go for over a million and even if you fall short, better to fall short of a big goal than to fall short of a small goal.
By the way, even 250K a year is not a huge amount — once you start learning sales, marketing, and business skills, you’ll laugh at the thought of only making $20,000 a month.
So, what’s your next step?
My goal for you is to breathe life into your financial situation.
The air is thin under $250K, so don’t stay there long!
Be great,
Grant
