Day 4

What does wealth mean to me?  What does it mean to me to be wealthy? 

Freedom.  Being wealthy means freedom.  Freedom to live where I want to live, spend my days however I want to spend them, wherever I want to spend them.  I don't have that much that I want to buy- a house of my own with an indoor/outdoor swimming pool off the living room, gourmet kitchen, luxurious gardens, and a wide open floorplan on a cliff overlooking the ocean with an optional elevator to get down to beach and a lake or large pond out front on 30-100 acres of land and a bright yellow Jeep Unlimited with all 3 tops and the purple Rolls I owe my Mom- but there are countless things I want to experience. 

I may, perhaps, be confusing wealth with success or rather combining the two.  I want to be a sought after speaker.  I want to do book signings with mobs of people waiting for days to get in and have us sign their books.  I want to be invited to speak at the Official TED conference.  I want to go to movie Premiers of our books.  I want our books to be phenomenon of unprecidented levels.  I want us to live in a small town that protects our privacy because we're an integral part of their town.  I want a husband and kids of our own.  I want to take Mom to Paris and London instead of her paying my way.  I want to go on a safari in Africa, no scratch that, I want to go and live at a wild game park in Africa where I can get to know the animals.  I want to know how to write our books so that they are even better than I imagined they could be.  I wnat to travel wherever and whenever I/we want to go.

Cash, having cash, having cash flow into my life regularly and in large sums helps to allow me to do all of that.  That's why I want to be wealthy, we have stuff we want to go, places we want to go, people we want to meet, and a vast number of things we want to experience.

And as a bonus,  I have the next three days off.  Bliss and the wealth of free time.  Priceless.
