How to Win Your Own Lottery. With all the buzz over the $600 million dollar lottery on Friday night, I thought about the freelance artist that was contracted by Facebook to paint a mural at the headquarters and instead of taking the $60,000 commission opted for stock options. Facebook at the time was an unknown startup and wow it turned out to be his golden lottery ticket.
Just saw the report of the facebook artist getting $200 million in stock options. The story of an artist that enjoys painting and creating and spends his time doing what he loves everyday. Facebook offered him $60,000 for his work at the company headquarters or a choice of getting stock options. He took the stock options and it turned into $200 million.
Many of us, including me, would have taken the $60,000 and got a nice pay day, but he took a chance, a risk, and it led to $200 million. $60,000 or $200M are both nice, but I'm most fascinated with how when you spend your time doing what you love, sharing your joy, your passion, it's funny how the money seems to find you. You become a magnet of abundance.
The artist's pursuit of passion led to the gold at the end of the rainbow.
Time for us to chase our rainbows!
With Love,
