Pombo Live brought to you everyday live from Grants Pass Oregon or wherever we happen to be today.<br> <br> <br> <br> I’d like to talk about a little bit about success and a little thing called, How To Get Rich.<br> <br> <br> <br> This is a book by Felix Dennis, publisher of multiple magazines back when he was still walking the earth.<br> <br> <br> <br> He died in 2014 from, I believe, throat cancer, but while he was around, he published Maxim magazine, published……sorry for my finger going across the screen there, published many, many computer magazines.<br> <br> <br> <br> Felix Dennis’s, How To Get Rich, this is a great read.<br> <br> <br> <br> I know it’s a real wild title, but it’s more than just about getting rich. But the, the thing that he brings up in here that’s very controversial and got him a lot of attention when he put this book out was that to get rich, to really get wealthy the way that he describes wealth, you probably can’t have a very happy family life at the same time.<br> <br> <br> <br> And he’s very confident and open about that and so I had to bring it to you.<br> <br> <br> <br> I have to ask you, what do you think?<br> <br> <br> <br> Do you think it’s possible?<br> <br> <br> <br> Have you been able to have a successful business?<br> <br> <br> <br> Have you been able to achieve what you consider to be a relative amount of wealth or riches and been able to keep your family together?<br> <br> <br> <br> Did you have a family or are you single?<br> <br> <br> <br> If you’re single, do you attribute a lot of being single to being a huge part of what’s made you successful?<br> <br> <br> <br> Or if you are single and think you’d be more successful if you were married or had a happy family that was all together. Or had kids and then maybe you’re married and don’t have kids. These are all just questions. I’m really curious to find out from you whether that’s true or not in your life.<br> <br> <br> <br> Now for me, I’ve met people who have wives and lifestyles that I would be a okay with. I mean I’m very happy with the life that I’ve, that I’ve come to, you know, manifest.<br> <br> <br> <br> Very happy with where I’m at, but I’m always looking to go to the next level and try something new and go a little bit beyond.<br> <br> <br> <br> I’m not looking to necessarily become absolutely filthy rich, but there’s other things I’d like to experience in life and there’s people I know that appear to have that fruit on the tree and they have successful happy families.<br> <br> <br> <br> I absolutely believe it’s possible now maybe not to the levels that he’s talking about.<br> <br> <br> <br> Maybe getting to a certain extent you have to completely toss aside a lot of the concepts of a happy well adjusted family.<br> <br> <br> <br> Maybe you have to be completely absent for too long in order to really achieve enormous sums of money. But then I ask you whether you think that’s what real success is or is real success being able to really……well, I’ll give you my definition.<br> <br> <br> <br> My definition of success comes down to really finding your purpose for life and being able to fulfill it to the best of your ability.<br> <br> <br> <br> I think that’s what success is.<br> <br> <br> <br> If you could define it as such, or you could even say success doesn’t even exist.
