Friday, Saturday, Someday: The Day That Never Comes

“Someday, I’m going to have like a gazillion dollars. And I’m going to live in a castle. And I’m going to have my own army. Just like if I was the King of England.”

“That would be so cool. Okay how’s this one? Someday I’m going to live in a mansion soooo big that it’s going to have its own theme park in it. And I’m going to ride roller coasters all day. And eat cotton candy.”

Remember doing that when you were younger? Seeing who could come up with the coolest fantasy life. Some adults still do it. But of course their expectations are a lot lower now. Maybe you’re one of them.

A few days ago I went out to lunch with a couple friends from high school. And one of them was telling us how he’s going to open an online business “someday”. Sound familiar?

Now when I heard that I was confused. The sad thing is everybody else knew exactly what he meant.

When is “someday”? It certainly isn’t one of the days of the week. I know people who have been talking about “someday” for years and they still haven’t done a thing. Is there one “someday” every 10 years?

The truth is that there is no “someday”. All it is is a made up fantasy world to make you feel good about yourself. The same one you talked about when you were a little kid.

The 2% of people in the world who are successful don’t use the word “someday”. It’s not part of their vocabulary. The 2%ers take action now. They don’t wait around for “someday”.

What are you waiting till “someday” to do? Start a business? Visit another country? Run a marathon? Whatever it may be start taking action now.

Have you really started an online business? Or are you still playing around with adsense and affiliate programs? The real question is are you going to take action now or are you going to do it “someday”?
