I guess it was okay to take the easy way out doing your homework in middle school, but once you become an adult, there’s no room for that shit any more. Taking the easy way out and sliding through will ONLY catch up to you. In the real world and especially if you run a business, people will see right there you. Always be very precise and never cut corners. You’ll ultimately lose customers and more important, relationships. The days of sliding through the cracks are over.
People who are lazy and don’t do shit depend on “luck”. They think they’re next big break will come and if it does, it sure as hell won’t last long. I get mad at people when they say that I’m lucky to have such a nice bobble collection. I’m like, “Dude, it’s not luck. I’ve worked my face off to get to where I am today.” Luck doesn’t exist in my book. Working hard and being patient is when opportunity’s arise. Not luck.
I’m not gonna give you some sad made up story that I was poor growing up and I had the worst life experiences. What I will tell you is that I have worked my face off to get where I am today. I’ve balanced work, family life, and the Bobblesniper business on a daily basis the past 4-5 years. It’s not easy. Many obstacles come into play but I fight through them and that’s what makes me who I am today.
The lesson here, is we all go through shit in our lives. How you overcome them is what makes you the person you are. You have two choices. Fight through the obstacles or lay down and give up.
People come and go. Ya, you’ve had that close friend for 15 years and you may not realize, but maybe they are weighing you down. The thought of cutting ties with that person may have never even crossed your mind. You need to deeply evaluate where you are and where you want to be and decide if that so called “close” friend needs to be cut off. It’s VERY hard to break off a relationship, but you may feel more free and less worrisome when that person’s not around. That’s when you find the “real” you and then it’s time to get after what you really want!
You hear time and time again to figure shit out by yourself. We all need help in life, but if you WANT something bad enough and refuse to help yourself, the following will happen:
Dreams only come true if you PUSH hard and EXECUTE. Period.
In order to become financially secure, you have to learn the process. You have to learn the game. Follow, listen and learn from people who have “already” made it. Read books, listen to podcasts and pay attention to the people who have become very successful over time. That’s the best advice you will receive in order to “get there”.
