About 40, why?
Just because you haven't done something yet doesn't mean you can't do it.
You think you're past your prime?
There was a guy who one day had his 65th birthday. He realized that he had never done anything particularly notable in his entire life, and now it was pretty much over.
In fact, he got his first social security check. And the more he thought about it, the more ticked he got that the US government was telling him he was done and it was time to be put out to pasture.
About the only thing this 65-year-old guy had to work with was a recipe he liked. So he hit the road in his car, living off of his social security money, and went around and started pitching his recipe to restaurant owners, to see if he could cut a deal where a restaurant owner would use his recipe and pay him a bit of royalty-type income for doing so.
In fact, I'm pretty sure he slept in his car.
The first guy he tried didn't buy it.
Nor did the second.
Or the third.
Well, this was getting nowhere. But he kept trying.
He was turned down at the 4th place.
And the 5th.
And the 10th.
And the 20th.
And the 50th.
And the 100th.
And the 200th.
And the 300th.
He pitched his recipe to over a thousand restaurant owners, and the answer was always the same.
"No, thanks."
And then, after pitching a stupid chicken recipe to over 1000 restaurant owners, he found one guy who liked the recipe and agreed to pay him a few cents every time he sold a chicken cooked using that recipe.
And that, my friend, was the beginning of Kentucky Fried Chicken, and the starting point of Colonel Harlan Sander's fortune.
You may not want to hear this, but in spite of the fact that circumstances may knock us down at times, and in spite of the fact that they may hold us down for a period of time (and I know from my own personal experience what I'm talking about here), the ultimate creator of your life is you.
This is both bad news for you and good news. Bad news because it means you can't really blame circumstances any more for where you are now, but GOOD news because you're about to find the power to change your whole life.
You want to know why you haven't found a wife yet (and why you are GOING to find a wife in the future)?
It's not because of how much money you have or don't have. It's because of the thoughts you have been thinking so far. And it's because of the way you are going to change your thinking, and change your life.
I'm going to give you a short assignment here. It starts with a very short book that I'm 98% sure you've never read. And if you have read it, you haven't yet taken the information to heart.
1. The book is "As A Man Thinketh," by James Allen. It's only about 35 pages long. You can get it for free, right now, by doing a google search.
2. When you've finished that one, and taken it to heart, and begin acting on it, you may want to read "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill.
3. There are a LOT of other good materials out there, but start with those two.
If you don't just read them, but do them, your life is going to dramatically change. Maybe not by Christmas. But I guarantee you that your life can and will be dramatically different.
I believe you're going to end up well off, married, with a wife and kids. Why do I believe this? Because in spite of where you are right now, I know that you can do it. The only question is whether you will do it. And you determine that, by repeatedly and constantly telling yourself what you're going to do, and resolving with all of your determination to keep persevering until you achieve it, no matter how long it might take.
You can pm me for more resources.
Remember: Harlan Sanders was 65 years old. He was far older than you, not as smart or as skilled as you, and all he had was a recipe for fried chicken.
If he did what he did, then you can turn your whole life around and make it what you want it to be.
PM me after you've read the first book.
