The truth is that most people never start because they don’t want to be seen starting at the bottom. Don’t be most people. 

Everyone starts at the bottom. Yes, EVERYONE! Unless you’re daddy and mommy gave you millions of dollars or just handed you over a business, then you start from the beginning. It’s as simple as that. Shit, I started this business years ago with one fucking bobble in my collection and here I am, years later, with an empire. I had no idea what I was doing but I let my patience take over and over time it’s turned into a successful business for me. Whatever your passion is, start it and see where it goes. Give it time. I never saw results until 2-3 years in. It takes a shit load of time to start something if you put the work in and never look back. Don’t be that guy that is worried of what other’s say because you are at the bottom of the barrel. Do you, put the work in, stay consistent and go knock on their door years later and you’ll be the one laughing. 

There are two types of pain in life. The pain of discipline and the pain of regret. 

Which one will you take to the grave? Will you be miserable and sad that you never went after your dreams and goals? Or, will you embrace the pain of discipline and the hustle of every day life? I personally made the decision to work my ass off to better myself. I have given up the nights at the bars while all my bro’s are getting shit faced. Does it make me a better person? No, but I know what I want. I’d love to relax when my family has left the house on holidays and kick back with a cold beer. I chose instead to go to work. List bobbles on Ebay, write blogs and provide content to my audience etc. It’s more important to me and it will pay off. I don’t want to get old and say that I regret not doing this and that. Which one will you choose? 

Become strong and deal with the discipline to better you and your close ones. 

No matter how many times a snake sheds its skin, it will always be a snake. 

Do not allow the same person to fool you more than once. Depending how you get fooled, learn and grow from it and definitely forgive but never forget what that asshole did to you. It’s unfortunate what people can do to others and how they scheme instead of putting the work in themselves. You on the other hand should continue down the path to success and let the snakes go ruin someone else’s dreams. Make sure you are aware of these eyes of people and if you can foreshadow these types of behaviors, then distance yourself right away. They are snakes for a reason and leave it at that. 

The loudest person in the room is the weakest person in the room.

Notice the heads of families, heads of companies and leaders of private organizations are always quite than those lower than them. They listen 10X more than they talk. They handle each situation with the wisdom of years of experience and dealing with people. They understand those that talk a lot, often do not strategize what they are going to say. Which can lead to saying something offensive, out of place and ignorant. Powerful people think before they speak. They plan out meetings and negotiations before they take place. They are 5 steps ahead. They already know the other person is the sucker at the deal table. Shut your mouth and be receptive to EVERYTHING! Learn from others, read books and find mentors with the same interest as you. Become respected by speaking less and speaking with power. 

The difference between men and boys are the lessons they learn. 

You can take what you learn and you can apply it in your life or you can let it pass. Are you learning from other’s? Seeing how they see things? Or are you learning from those who are below you? Do you know what drink not to drink or what asset not to buy? It’s simple. They’re are people who are 60, but still a boy. Are you providing for and protecting your family? There’s more boys out in this world than men. Men take responsibility for their life. They don’t care what other’s think of them. They make their own moves and do what’s best for them. Are you going to be a man among boys? The choice is up to you.
