WHAT ARE YOUR LONG-TERM GOALS?
Trust me on this: a man who really has a vision for where he wants to see himself in ten years has looked into his future and seriously considered what itâll take for him to get there. It means he has foresight, and heâs plotting out the steps to his future. If he says something silly like âIâm just trying to make it day by day,â run. If his long-term plan is the same as his short-term plan, get out. Immediately. Because his answer tells you that he hasnât thought his life through, or he doesnât see you in it and so he has no reason to divulge the details to you. All heâs got for you is game. If he doesnât have a plan, why do you want him to stick around, anyway?
The man you should consider spending a little time on is the one who has a planâa well-thought-out plan that you can see yourself in. Because please believe me when I tell youâand like I told you in an earlier chapterâa man always has a plan. I know I did when I first started working as a comedian. I knew before I even told my first joke in front of an audience that within the next five years, my goal was to become a headliner and make at least $2,500 a week. With my eye on that prize, I was soon making $2,500 a week, and happy about it, too. Still, I wanted to become a headliner, and I upped the ante: now I wanted to make $5,000 to $7,500 per week. It took me about eight years, but I managed to meet my financial goalâand I was happy about that, too.
And then I met Sinbad.
Now at the time, Sinbad was working at a comedy club in Birmingham, where heâd become so large, he was making $50,000 to $70,000 a week at this one particular club. Every. Seven. Days. And I knew I wanted a piece of that action. His success made me realize that there was something to this comedy thingâthat I needed to set in place a long-term plan that would afford me the kind of life I could see was possible for a comedian. I wanted to get on television to provide a lifestyle for my family that would make them proud. I envisioned my life this way, and then created a plan for how I was going to get it. Now, I knew it wasnât going to be easyâthat it would take time, because there were very few comedy clubs where you could make that kind of money, and you had to have the right connections and a great team to help get you there. But the point is, I had a long-term plan, with steps on how I was going to get there. Eventually, I reached those goals and then some.
Once you hear your potential mateâs answer to questions number one and number two, youâll have a firm understanding of the kind of man youâre dealing with.
