This article on Philip Anschutz reveals much about a man putting his money where his mouth is. He believes in his product (Chronicles of Narnia, etc.) and pursues it relentlessly. You can debate later whether you like the content.
Mr. Anschutz gives us a window into our own passions and motivations. Don’t think everything revolves around money and our mouth. It could be taking that class, or starting that consulting business. What do you believe?
It will never be easy, but it will be rewarding…regardless of the short term pain. I can’t stress enough here about the importance of long range thinking and the vision that should support it. When we think of a better future, we prepare ourselves for the short term heartache, stress, disappointment, etc. Success comes no other way…true success.
Don’t compromise what you believe in.
