If you were given $10 million dollars (tax free, no strings attached, no rules or regulations)…what would you do? This was the subject of last night’s conversation with Liz Strauss at her weekly Open Mic Night over at her Successful Blog.
The discussion started off with fantastic, out-of-the-world dreams of mansions, yachts, private island properties, and jet planes to fly all your friends there! But, things turned real world as our passions came out for making the world we live in a better place.
Many words of wisdom were shared:
gotta remember a lot of your dreams CAN actually come true
even without the “lotto cashout” strategy for the first 10 million.
Just work on the path to get there. You just might find it at the end of that road.
Follow your passions! Go do what you love!
So… new question, friends: What can you do NOW to begin moving towards something you dream about or believe in? (Even w/o the $10 mil!)
Here’s my response to Question One: (When I had the $10 mil)
On a serious note, I would open a teacher training institute. Teachers from all over the world could receive first class professional development-FREE! When they leave the institute, they are smarter, more passionate, and motivated to change the world! Each students they touch would be infinitely impacted. A much wiser use of $10 million dollars than the current educational spending policy-don’t you think?
Stay tuned for my response AND action to Question #2! (What I am doing now w/o the $10 mil!)
