Any friend that turned into an enemy has been hating since day one. 

If your friend was truly a “good friend” and then for whatever reason turns his back on you, that must tell you something. I’ve personally have seen this type of situation more than I’d like to have. You have to dig deep and really get a good feel who your friends really are. A lot of times there is some type of hidden jealousy or secret dislike and once you become successful, those feelings come out in some of your friends. If this happens, it sucks but at least you know who your “true friend” really was. 

A funny thing happens when you give a fuck about people…you end up making more money. 

If you’re in business to make quick money and screw people by selling them shit products and not providing any kind of value, you’ll end up going broke faster than Bartolo Colon can take a massive dump. When you care about your customers and care what they say about you, then you’ll soon find out that you will have a big consumer base that will bring you income. Treat people with respect, provide value in every aspect and get ready to count the dollars coming in. It’s not that hard to be nice and care about people, especially people who want to spend their money on your products. Simple lesson, be nice and care about other’s. 

Marathon runners don’t win sprints. 

You’ll never ever succeed overnight. Unless you have a magical fairy wand and you can become wealthy over night then your doing something right. For all others, time, time, and time must be put in. I knew when I started my business that it would take years to get where I want to be. I’m still not where I want to be as I know it will take time. Success doesn’t happen quickly, and if you think it does then go check yourself at the front door. Period. 

The biggest secret in life is that there is no big secret. Whatever your goal is, you can get there if your willing to work. 

Very simple point here Snipers. If you work hard good things will happen. If you half ass your life away drinking beers on Friday nights every week then you’ll never achieve your goals. People ask me all the time, “How in the world did you build your business up so much and have the following you have?” I give them a simple phrase, “I work hard all the time”. Simple as that. Hard work equates to success on all levels. Don’t kid yourself. There’s no secret. 

“Winning” is not defined by me or your parents or even the market. It’s defined by you…

If you got a trophy playing soccer as a 7 year old, your parents will bring you out for ice cream. To be truthful, you didn’t win. EVERYONE gets a trophy. If you got lucky with a specific stock investment and made some money, you didn’t win. The market won and you benefited. The only one who determines if you’ve won is YOU. Remember in high school when you got a C in Math class and you got pissed at the teacher? You got the C, the teacher didn’t give you the C. YOU DID. You deserve what you get by the work you put forth. Winning at anything is dictated by only you. Remember that…

Worrying is a total waste of time. It doesn’t change anything. All it does is steal your joy and keeps you very busy doing nothing. 

Why worry about something you cannot control? Is it hard sometimes to NOT worry? Of course it is! All I can say is whatever it is that is on your mind, think about if you can control it or not. If you come to the realization that you cannot change what might happen, then you have to let it play out. Do not let worrying steal your happiness. If the results turn out negative then it was meant to be. Stop worrying and think positive! Period.
