The Home Alone Series And How It Can Make You Rich by alphawg(m): 11:42pm On Oct 30, 2014
“I made my family disappear”,lol. I doubt if any generation can ever get tired of watching this wonderful movie – Home Alone. Whether you watched the part one, two, three or any other, you’ll agree with me that any of the movies in this series deserves some good commendation. Judging from when I was a kid till present, Home Alone remains one of the greatest comedies that has ever happened to the
Hollywood Movie Industry.

So this mischievous toddler happened to come from a wealthy family. With the numerous kids in the house and large family preparing for a trip abroad, Kelvin was mistakenly left at home only for his mother to remember that he didn’t come along with them at the airport, it was too late by then.

Rather than reclining into a corner of the house, feeling frustrated and dejected, Kelvin decided to turn his newly found predicament into a wild and merry adventure.

Life was really challenging at this time, as intruders decided to take advantage of the family’s absence to cause havoc and rob little Kelvin’s home. Kelvin, being a smart and fearless opportunist, arranged to pay these rogues in their deserved respective currency while giving us a good laugh at the same time. So how can this make you rich?

Lesson 1: Thoughts: Turning your adversity into opportunity. Take your eyes up to the first line of the second paragraph, and read it again. Kelvin was from a wealthy family, right? Well, your family background is irrelevant here. The basic point is that the family was far from him, same with friends. So many people will be happy they’ve found a good excuse here, but Kelvin turned this disadvantage into a big advantage. Come to think of it, had it not been for the family’s absence, Kelvin wouldn’t have had the time and chance to showcase his creativity in such a grand way. He didn’t feel bad that he was left alone, but he thought of all the amazing things he could do at the time, and became excited. This is the first step to achieving anything you want, including wealth – Thoughts. Until your positive thoughts stand above your environment and present predicament, wealth will continue to be an illusion. Kelvin wasn’t concerned about the fact that nobody was there to help, rather his thoughts were centered on turning his present adversity into opportunity. Creating wealth in your Information marketing career starts from your thoughts, as with any other career. Learn this from a toddler.

Lesson 2: Having a realistic plan. Kelvin didn’t just fold his hand after being excited about his great ideas. He followed them up with a plan to achieve them. You could easily recall him peering into his neighbor’s window from his window with the help of his telescope, going out in the street to mount some track cameras, making electrical connections outside the balcony to electrocute any intruder, etc. His aim was to prevent them from executing a successful robbery, but your aim is to make more money for yourself and grow rich. Whatever the aim is, the rules are the same. Have a plan, have a plan, and have a plan.

Lesson 3: Work towards achieving your goal. Kelvin made all those funny plans but did he execute them? Yes. His plans to stop those unknown intruders didn’t just lie there, unused. He rather followed up on each of his plans when the occasion demanded it. A plan is abstract till it is successfully executed. For the sake of being a movie, all of Kelvin’s execution strategies for his plans worked. But in reality, some of your executed plans won’t work but hey, who are you to give up? You are much better than that. Keep moving ahead, while formulating new plans and ways to execute them.

Lesson 4: Be creatively Unique. In the case of Kelvin, it was a high sense of humor. The young boy had a unique way of executing his plans of embarrassing and punishing intruders. Now, in your case there are no intruders, but, rather customers. Find a unique way to satisfy them, or develop a particular promise your brand will be known for and strive to keep that promise. Of course, add a little humor during one on one conversations with customers whenever necessary, but it shouldn’t be the main theme.

That’s the way it is. Don’t forget, your thoughts, planning, plan execution, and being unique in your entire career journey all constitute to the general attitude that the rich employ to stay on top. Nature is fair, if you do what the rich people do, you will definitely get the results the rich people get.
