How High Are You Aiming?

Every time I see cars like this I can't help but think about the mindset of the individual who made the investment of time, effort, and money into it.  More specifically, I like to think about the similarities and differences between them, and successful entrepreneurs. 

What is Similar?

The two groups of people share three things in common you may not have considered:  Vision, Taking Action, and Passion.

Vision: Before 'taking action' both groups have a clear picture of what they want to achieve.  As laughable as that car looks it exists because someone concieved of it first.

Taking Action: 50% of anything is showing up. No matter what your opinion is of the car pictured it is because upon harnessing a 'vision', someone actually stepped up to the plate, and took a swing. 

Passion: In order to even have a 'vision' to put into 'action' you need to have passion. Passion breeds persistence, and persistence is one of the most important

What is different? (Would you believe it is only one thing?)

Aim.

I believe with every fiber in my body (and you should too) that the only thing separating people who own laughably tacky vehicles (see above) from people who own cars worthy of the cover of The Robb Report is how high they aim.  Tony Robins understands this, and shares a story in this video that illustrates why it's true that "Life will pay any price you ask of it".
