Notes From a Multi-Millionare
Today is November 15th, 2023 and I had my first training day at the new restaurant. It ended up being a really fun time. Since it’s a whole ass new restaurant, a lot of people from corporate were there. And coming back to a server position when I was/still technically am a part of corporate team was sort of interesting??
For the first time in my life, as I was imagining myself serving again, I found myself thinking about how I need to dream bigger than this. But then again, this is just a temporary thing so that I can shift my attention and focus on to the things that I genuinely want to focus on. Like this blog honestly.
However this week is sort of crazy because I am training for my new job, while working on my other job at night, which I have officially a week left, yet I have also been working on Amway stuff and will be attending a total of two meetings this week, one of those being last night and another one coming up this Friday.
I feel like I am juggling a lot right now, but it’s all good things so I am not allowing myself to let any of it affect me in a negative way.
Side note: Last night I was also informed that my best friend and her husband were planning on moving out of Florida next year. They recently got married and now they plan on finding a place to start a family somewhere in South Carolina.
They had moved to Florida in September 2022 and will only be staying until August 2024. That’s almost a full two years though, so I am happy to at least have some time to make some quality memories with them.
Selfishly, I’m a bit bummed because Florida hadn’t felt like home until they had arrived last year in 2022. My first two years down here were super crazy. So I am curious to see how everything plays out for me when they leave. Part of me wants to move with them, but if I am going to move to the Carolinas, I have my eyes set on Raleigh. However, Tampa Bay also has my heart so if anything, I would want to be a snow bird. Which means I just need to figure out my finances and make it fucking work.
At the Amway meeting last night, we had one of the mentors lead the meeting. He is a multi-millionaire which is cool, but so many people were nutting over the fact that he was a millionaire and were talking about how they’ve never been in the same room as a millionaire before.
It low key made me a little uncomfortable because how much money he makes isn’t really any of our business. BUT I think they were amazed at the fact that if he could do, then we could too. Although I thought it was weird, it gave me a different perspective that I hadn’t had before. Which was the fact that we really are all just human.
All of these things that are in our lives are only temporary and at the end of the day and we are all taking the same thing to the grave with us; which is nothing.
Some may think that’s a little morbid, but deadass we come into this world with nothing and we leave with the same. It’s sort of beautiful in a way.
BUT I say all of that because this life is temporary, so it’s extremely important to really focus on the things that you want in this lifetime because death could literally happen at any moment. The poppers might catch up to me someday LMAO.
I don’t want to die a broke ass bitch, so I am jotting down sharing some of the notes that I had taken from last night’s meeting, which I would like to call, “Notes from a Multi-Millionaire” (hehe):
Create a pull, not a push.
To be honest, I didn’t know what this meant so I just looked it up and found an article from Wharton University of Pennsylvania. This article was produced by Nano Tools For Leaders® and states: “Pulling entails teaching, coaching, and developing employees rather than pushing—or correcting—them. Pulling says, “Here’s how to get ahead in this company; we’ll provide you with guidelines and coaching to help you master these skills and behaviors.” Pushing says “You’re not doing very well.” In employees’ eyes, it’s likely to be the difference between a motivating challenge and a demoralizing reprimand”
That makes sense so that’s definitely sumn to think about.
Take time to start building you
Think of the person that you want to become, your higher self. Now is the perfect time to start building that person and to start acting like how they would behave. If that makes sense?
Follow people with fruit on their trees
Meaning that you should keep people that are prosperous close, because in turn you will be prosperous as well
Sort of like the saying, “show me your five friends and I can tell your future” or whatever the fuck they be saying nowadays.
You need to have a mission and/or cause
Any successful business/person becomes successful because their why (mission/cause) is powerful
You need to be crystal clear with your why, because ambiguity will lead you astray
Successful people hang out with successful people
If you want to start becoming successful, surround yourself with successful people
Take the time to observe what makes someone successful
Take the pressure off
Life already has so much pressure as it is, there’s no need to add unnecessary pressure to yourself
Adding unnecessary pressure to yourself takes the fun out of everything, and if you aren’t having fun, what’s the point of anything?
Stop comparing yourself to others
This seems so simple yet this is something that I struggle with on a daily basis, whether I would like to admit it or not
For some reason I always compare myself to others and I put myself in this mindset that I don’t deserve something because my circumstances don’t align with someone else’s, which is so dumb because we are all so different
I always think about it like code, we all have the basic code within us but every cause and reaction in life changes that code over time, making us all unique individuals throughout our journey of life
If you want to get far, learn how to effectively communicate with others
Remove your feelings from your vocabulary // shift your mindset
Success has nothing to do with feeling. People that work hard don’t always want to work hard, but they do because it is the right thing to do.
Whatever a person’s decision is, love them regardless.
Last but not least, BRING THE HEAT BABY!!!!!
To be honest, a lot of these notes seem so simple, but it is often the simplest things that create the biggest changes in our lives. It is often the simple things in life that are also the most difficult to achieve.
Prior to last night’s meeting, I was a little skeptical about Amway, but after hearing what our Mentor Ron, the multi-millionaire, had to say last night, I am going to continue to have an open heart and an open mind.
I also am going to have an open heart and an open mind when it comes to serving right now. I keep getting in my head about it because I literally have professional experience and a degree, but my mind always goes back to serving.
It’s all in my head honestly. But something isn’t clicking in my brain that is allowing me to move past this. Maybe it’s comfortability, or the fact that I’m so familiar with serving and genuinely enjoy it?
OR am I exactly where I need to be? Because Amway and this new restaurant job have both kind of fallen in my lap and I got into both of these opportunities unintentionally.. life is funny so we shall see how everything plays out.
I have to go study for some tests, work on this blog, finish up some stuff for my other job, all while trying to watch an episode or two of Digimon Ghost, hehe.
If you’re reading this, I hope you enjoyed this post and maybe found a few things helpful. I know I can be on some deep shit sometimes, but I’m trying to figure “it” out, so let’s figure it the ef out! I appreciate you so much and will you see you on the flip side :)
Love always, Kyrin.
