Ever notice how easy it is to make negative judgments about other people?

Whether it’s “idiots” we encounter on the road … or “slower than slow” people who serve us … or “losers” who can’t play sports nearly as well as our kids can – many of us have developed the knee-jerk habit of assigning degrading labels to people we don’t know. We don’t really know them, or their situations, or their challenges, but we sure as heck know what they should do. Or at least that’s the way it seems when we spout out phrases that begin with:

They oughtta … Why don’t they just … It’s easy – all they need to do is …. 

Nope, we don’t know those folks, but we know what they are.  We’re not in their situations, but we know what they should do. Hmmmm. If all that seems illogical, unfair, presumptuous, and disrespectful to you, you are right. And if all that seems like terrible behavior for leaders to exhibit, you are doubly right!

To be sure, situations involving other people – including those that occur in our teams – can seem clear, simple, and very black and white from where we stand. However, we need to remember two things: 1) Unless we’re dealing with (or have dealt with) the exact same circumstances, we’re on the outside looking in, and 2) The real world is rarely black and white – it’s usually shades of gray.

Ant Philosophy

I believe everyone should study ants.  Ants have an amazing four-part philosophy.  The first part is, ants never quit.  That’s a good philosophy. If they’re headed somewhere and you try to stop them; they’ll look for another way. They’ll climb over, they’ll climb under, they’ll climb around and keep looking for another way. What a great philosophy, to never quit looking for a way to get where you’re supposed to go. Second, ants think winter all summer. That’s an important perspective. You can’t be so naive as to think summer will last forever. They don’t sit around and lounge at the pool.  Ants are gathering in their winter food in the middle of summer. 

The third part of the ant philosophy is that ants think summer all winter. That is so important. During the winter, ants remind themselves, “This won’t last long; we’ll soon be out of here.” And the first warm day, the ants are out. They want to work.  They want to take care of their responsibilities, to be all that they can be.  If it turns cold again, they’ll dive back down but then they come out the first warm day. They can’t wait to get out.

Here’s the last part of the ant philosophy. How much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All he possibly can. What an incredible philosophy, the “all-out” philosophy.

You Don’t Have To Inherit

 What do the following things all have in common:

* Winning the lottery * Earning millions of dollars through your career * Inheriting a family fortune * Recording a hit song * Writing a bestselling book * Creating residual income through http://ourgv.com

There may be a few similarities, but the one we’re looking at is that they can all provide you with ongoing income that you won’t have to continuously work for, day after day. You could take the money and run, so to speak!

You can use any of these methods to create the financial stability and lifestyle you want, and also to create more time for yourself and your family and the things you love to do in your spare time.

But there is one glaring difference between creating residual income from your own http://ourgv.com business and all the other things on the list: winning the lottery isn’t easy to do, and neither is making millions at a conventional business venture, and being an heir to an immense family fortune is quite unlikely. Also, when was the last time you tried writing a hit book or song? These things aren’t easy. But creating healthy residual income through http://ourgv.com is a simple process.

Residual Income is money you get paid month after month for work you have already done. Think of how a singer gets paid royalties on their songs, or authors get money from book sales. They continue to get paid long after they did the initial work of singing the song or writing the book.

Residual Income can work for you too.

OurGV is a very realistic way to change your financial outlook for the better and to make your financial future much brighter.

Think of this: If you were to go out into the big wide world and try to earn a million dollars you would probably take decades. You would work tirelessly year after year to earn as much as you could, and to save as much money as you could.

And perhaps maybe one day you would make it, and get to a $1,000,000 bank balance. The beauty of that would be the fact that you could live off the interest alone, which would amount to perhaps $50,000 a year. Could you live on $50,000 a year of free money? So all you need is the initial million in the bank right? Wrong.

Think of this: to create $50,000 per year of residual income through OurGV you would probably have to spend 3 - 5 years working part time.   Some will do it way sooner than that with more effort some will never do it because we can’t get them to wake up.

You can see why so many people choose OurGV as their wealth strategy!

When you build a solid OurGV business and you put in the effort and energy required to get it moving, you’re doing exactly what a millionaire would do with his or her millions, or a smart lottery winner would do with their winnings. These people would take that money, invest it, and live off the earnings from the investments. But instead of investing millions of dollars you are simply investing your time.

With Residual Income you are giving yourself the gift of freedom to choose and freedom to do what works for you - business-wise, energy-wise and time-wise. Residual income is the best kind of income you will ever earn.

http://OurGV.com  can change your life.  And at the same time you are helping non-profits around the world!
