“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”  Drinking coffee in Rome, Italy. IT IS NOT ALWAYS RIGHT JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE ALWAYS HAVE DONE ITDo you remember the time before Google? You know when you asked mom or dad why things where a certain way. For example: "Why is it important to get married?" or "Why do you have to work?" The answer was often: "Because that is the way it's has always been done." There is so many things we do just because "it's always been done like that". But the rules has changed and the world to. We don't longer have to do everything like it's always been done, we can actually do what's right for us. Many times that is actually a lot better. Where you like many raised with the view that life should be like this:
Have you really thought about how you spend your time and money? How much are you really making per day and it is worth it?  Kickin' it on PhiPhi Islands, Thailand. EXAMPLE: Sarah has a well paid job as an administrative manager in a small company. It is not her dream job (her passion is food & travel) but it pays her bills and "sponsors" her life style. Let's take a closer look at her finances. Salary after taxes: $3,600 Monthly expenses: Rent: $1,500 Food: $400 Transportation: $300 Clothes & entertainment: $200 Insurance: $300 Credit payments: $300 Miscellaneous: $100 Total: $3,100 Money left after expenses: $500 How much is really Sarahs salary per hour after she has paid all her expenses? Let's assume that Sarah works 160 hours per month (40 h/week). $500 (money left after expenses) / 160 (monthly hours worked) ≈ $3/hour. $3 x 8 (one workday) = $24 Is it really worth sacrificing your best years doing something you don't like just to make a few bucks a day? It is up to you, all of us have different goals and dreams. Some people can have a job that they not love because they just see it as a job and shut it off when they get home. When I got fired a few years ago I realized that it wasn't worth it to work for somebody else. I got to learn the hard way and had to get fired to get the real motivation to start creating my own business. But deep inside me I had always known that I wanted to go my own way and spend my days doing what I love. Do what you want to do and don't wait: “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” Just because people have done things a certain way for a long time it doesn't automatically mean that its right. Go your own way and don't get a job - Create one! If you need help in getting there you should read my book The Goal Book: How to Achieve Your Dreams and Create a Better Life. The Goal Book will help you set goals and give you the tools to actively work with them every day. You can also get started by taking my FREE 7-DAY GOAL SETTING CHALLENGE.

 Photo: Linda Glendell Welcome to my blog, Today I will share how I wrote a life changing book in 40 days. But first let me tell you who I am: My name is Peter Jumrukovski and I have always been the underdog who refused to give up.
If a regular guy like me can succeed, so can you! Ok, that was a little bit about me. By the way I recently packed my bags and left everything in Sweden to come all the way to Marina Del Rey, California. OK, so how did I write a book in 40 days?  Me + My Book + Shipwreck Zakynthos After I got fired I finally got the courage to go after what I have wanted for so long. I wanted to inspire and guide people to succeed better in sports, business and life. I figured that in order to get speaking gigs I needed to have a book, that would make me sound smart, right?
I also wanted to see if my success tools would work on a new area like writing a book. I set the bar high and figured that when I didn't had any backup plan anymore it was either go hard or go home. The Goal looked like this: Goal: Write a book about Goalsettings in 40 days.
Every day I walked to the beautiful library in Halmstad (Sweden), ordered a Cappuccino with a doubleshot of espresso and began to write. Was it easy every day? No! Did I do it? Yes, I did! By being disciplined and taking small steps (2,5 pages) every day I succeeded to write my book. How I got my book published is whole nother story. The result became The Goal Book, who is currently one of the most sold books in self development in Sweden and also recently published in the US. To be totally honest with you, I am surprised that I succeeded, but I did it by implementing the same strategies I did as an athlete and the same strategy that I write about in The Goal Book. If a regular guy like me can succeed, I am certain that you can too. All you need to do is find the tools that works for you and get started. If you need some help, you should try reading my book The Goal Book. Or if you want why not take my FREE Goal Setting Challenge. After completing it I will even give you the first two chapters of my book for free. Anyways, enough about me. What's up with you? What are you dreaming about? Maybe you also want to write a book or travel the world, or starting your own business. Whatever it is, you can do it! I believe in you. It's time for you to believe in yourself. Until next time... |
