Let's hope that we get a little help in our affirmations this year from the economy.
Hi Phil, what a great way to look at it, and in such a simple, straight-forward way. I love it! May 2012 be all that you want it to be.
Happy new year everyone! :)

Great post Phil. I always believe in keeping life simple and balancing life.
Absolutely! We work to live, not the other way around. The real meaning of life is just that, life. Business plans should help us enjoy it even more.
Thanks for the post!
I got to teach one the Bold classes at Keller Williams - you are right, work is for bettering our lives, not putting on more pressure or stress! Happy New Year!
Very good thoughts. BE BOLD. Live life to its fullest.
Money is a tool to be used to create what we choose to create in our lives.
Phil, I know I work too much, but I'm trying to build my business so that I can then slow down and maintain the perfect balance of life and work. Right now, it's all about working and building.
As a two time Bold graduate, that was one of my favorite quotes. Thanks for the reminder. Have a great 2012!
So true, I love to work hard, but I love to play harder. Thanks for the inspiration.
Phil, I love what I do. I don't consider this a job, but a calling and a profession. I'm funding and trying to live my life like it's golden. Thanks for the post. Happy New Years!
Phil:
I love my job and the satisfaction I receive from it. I am striving to fund my perfect life.
Thank you for sharing. This is something we all have to remember and continue to work towards! Happy New Years to you!
“The purpose of business is to fund a perfect life.”
Can you define a perfect life?
Here's to your 2012 business allowing you to fund your perfect life! :))) HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The purpose of business is to fund the perfect WIFE - said the agent I sat next to in our BOLD class. And I think he's sorta right. Have a perfect wife is a good start to the perfect LIFE.
Your comments made me realize how many great people go into real estate as a profession. Such passion! Such purpose! Congrats to you all.
What is the perfect life, asks John? It is the life you want to live.
Thanks for your comments
Phil
I'd like to paraphrase Confucius who said something like "find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life." How incredibly true. Thanks to my friend Maria Racelis for reminding me of this quote.
This idea is not a new one. If you read the book "The Science of Getting Rich" by Wallace Wattles, which was written in 1910, you will see the same message. To quote that book, "The desire for riches is really the desire for aricher, fuller, more abundant life". There are other books as well, but this one comes to mind.
I would only add that it should be about more than what it does for you and your family. You should be creating value for the broader community as well.
