The Mortality Manifesto

What if you were NOT mortal?

This seemingly obvious question is the one posed by coach, speaker and author Patrick Mathieu.

Lately, with the increase in my client base and workload, part of me is elated by my progress but another part of me is dragging like an anchor, wanting to stay in the past where I had more time for me (when my business was not doing so well!)...

Wanting to hold on to the comfort of the past (which was not so happy), excited about the present, and somewhat concerned about the future (how long is the good time going to last?)... is this how I'm planting land mines in the field of my success?

Patrick's message hit me between the eyes: stop assuming there will be "more time" or "enough time" - the time I have is right now.

"I always strive to ensure that my every thought, word and action is moving me in the direction of my dreams."

I've printed out Patrick's "Mortality Manifesto" and have it posted in front of me right now...

Was skimming through The Guardian (UK) website and came across this article

"Saddled with an overdraft and facing three years at university, Alex Tew needed an idea to pay off his student debt. Four weeks ago the 21-year-old launched a website, milliondollarhomepage.com, from his home in Crickley, Wiltshire. It has already netted him more than £56,000 (US$100000).

Tew's website provides advertising space to companies from around the globe. Customers can purchase one or more of the 10,000 tiny boxes that appear on the site's homepage. The boxes host the company's logo and serve as a portal through to the firm's official site. Each box contains 100 pixels and retails at $100.

Its success took everyone by surprise. Milliondollarhomepage hosts more than 300 advertisements and averages 40,000 visits a day. Internet tracker Alexa.com has rated it the world's third fastest-growing website(...)"

Also read his excellent FAQ that tells his story...

He's already made over US$100000 and he starts university in Business Administration this month. Wonder if his professors could muster that kind of imagination? Now that's what I call Thinking Big!
