“Congratulations, you’re hired.” “Thank you. I am so grateful for this opportunity to wake up at 6 AM & sit in traffic so that I can stare at a computer screen for 8 hours everyday.”  Do something with your life. If you don’t enjoy sitting in a cubicle and crunching numbers all day with your eye balls popping out then do something about it. If you don’t enjoy bosses putting demands on you...

If I'm as good as I think I am, it's all gonna play out.  Tell yourself this. Don't worry about being "good" enough, instead, worry about doing the things you need to do to be "good" enough! You know your strengths and YOU have to use them to your advantage. I know I'm good at what I do. I want to BECOME better. Better at reaching out to people and most importantly helping more and more people....

People that are obsessed with losing tend to win. This may sound crazy but I love to lose. You know why? It makes me work harder. It teaches me a lesson and gives me the opportunity to fix my mistakes and ultimately work that much harder. Losing drives my passion to become better and better at what I do. Period. 

It ends up the way it's supposed to be. This phrase says it all. If you're supposed to win(whatever winning means to you) it will happen. You control your fate. If you fail or lose, then you made your own bed. Simple as that. Shit happens and in the end you determine your successes or failures. You have to stop blaming "short term" issues as no one great stopped in the end. 

Making mistakes is part of being an adult. Learn and move on. We all do it guys. We fuck up here and there but the ultimate determination is how you learn from your mistakes and moving on. Don't do the same shit again that has costed you. Don't look back on your failures as you NEED to move forward and make positive gains. It's the ONLY way you'll be at peace with yourself and ultimately will...

The best marketing strategy ever.....CARE. Only thing you should do is care. Care for others. You want to grow your audience? Then why don't you care what they want and ask them what they want instead of worrying about how many followers you have. Caring about the people who follow you will ONLY lead to positive things. Period. 

Don't dwell on your weaknesses, everybody else is already doing that for you.  People love to pinpoint your downfalls and what you struggle in. It's just the way the world has become now. People love to see you fail because it makes them feel better about themselves. You don't and should never dwell on your weaknesses. Your only way to grow is to move forward and capitalize on your strengths and...

If you lose someone but find yourself, you won. Losing friends or people who you were close to is difficult. The memories you have shared with a person will never be forgotten. In reality, if you're better off without that person and you're happier then it must be done. Memories are all well and good, but if that person is not in your future then move on. 

Be Accountable. Name one thing you will accomplish this week! Go! This week I will reach out to some outside vendors in hopes of working with them in the future. I have to make several phone calls and make a solid "pitch" to them. I've scripted out what my ideas are and now I just have to execute. The list is long and it will take some time but I will conquer! 

Work hard but don't be afraid to take breaks. Give yourself room to recharge.  I always stress ALWAYS working hard and doing work after hours blah, blah blah. You do have to recharge though. Spend time with family. Have a beer by a fire pit. Watch some baseball. The last thing you and I need is to be burned out. You don't want that is it can set you back if you get sick and ill. Recharge, have...

To many people are using Instagram for likes. I want to make real connections with you. Through Instagram, I have met and have made positive relationships with a lot of you Snipers. I'm not in it for likes and views. I want to know about you. Your family, what you do, what you collect, what teams and players you like etc. My name is Scott and I live in Connecticut. I love my Red Sox, Celtics and...

How do you define success?  Everyone has their own opinion and i'm interested in learning yours. 

You're not missing out on anything when you're getting your shit together. Oh, so you miss out a few Friday happy hours when Charlene is talking about her recent divorce. Who gives a shit. Oh, so you miss out on 3 straight weeks of Thursday night softball. You'll find out the next day that Harold went 3-4 with 5 ribbies. Who gives a shit. Oh, so you miss the last 4 episodes of Game of Thrones....

Open your mind before you open your mouth. Before jumping the gun, remember to think before you speak. This applies to your'e everyday life in terms of speaking to people. Think before you speak. Take a look at both sides of the coin. Try it sometime and see what results you get. 

There's no such thing as luck.  There isn't. There fortunate, but there's no such thing luck. Working hard prepares you for opportunities and luck finds you. You create your own luck. Lucks searches for you when you do good and when you work hard. Bottom line. And if you ever hear anyone say,"I wish just once i can get lucky" then you have the right to punch them in the face. 

People love to judge when they haven't even heard a word come out of your mouth. I see it all the time. People get judged on the way they look and even walk! This guy's an asshole, that girl is a bitch. For no reason. Do some people just flat out look like assholes? Of course! Should they be judged? No. Get to know a person before making that assessment.  Just think of how low you will feel as a...

Never change to be accepted by others. Never, ever change who you are as a person just to fit in with a certain group of people. Fuck them. Be you and no one else. If you think you have to change who you are just to be accepted, then you don't ever need to surround yourself with those others. You were born with a specific personality. Stay with it and never change!

In the world of business, great success does not come over right. It takes a long time to become familiar with your audience and to prove to the consumers that you have a good product. I knew when I started that this business would take 5-6 years to take off. Nothing happens over night. The problem people have is they want instant results and there's no possible way of that happening. People...

Work hard.  Don't worry and care what others think. Be relentless. Stay consistent.  Never look back. Look forward.  Always provide value. 

Of course Nolan Ryan had nasty shit as a pitcher. Of course the threw upper 90's, but he also worked his ass off. Mechanics, release points, running constantly you name it. There's plenty of athletes who were born with crazy talent, but you still have to work at it to perfect your credit.  Just like you and I. We all have great talents but we have to work on them to be and more importantly...

People die for you to live free. Remember that.  Armed forces, Navy Seal you name it. They provide security for you and I. We can bitch and moan if we had a bad day or or we moan if our package from Amazon Prime has not arrived in time, but there's soldiers in other countries fighting war for us to live. No matter how much we say that we respect and thank those people, a thank you is not enough...

How do you think Miguel Cabrera became so good at hitting a baseball? He worked! Simple as that guys. He worked and worked and worked. Countless hours in the cage. Countless hours studying film on ALL pitchers including relievers and not just starting pitchers. Why do you think he won the Triple Crown a few years ago? He worked. How is he so good at hitting to both sides of the field? He worked....

The hardest thing to do is work when you don't feel like it. By far the hardest thing to do. You're tired, you're hungry and want to sit on the couch, you're hungover, you lost a loved one and you have NO motivational.  This is the difference between a successful person and a person that works when it's convenient for them. It's sooooo hard to get off your ass when you are tired and just burnt...

Tell me one thing you can become better at. I can tell all my followers that I need to become better at managing my time. I will NOT use the excuse that I have 2 kids, a wife and this and that. I need to better manage the time I spend on family, chores, work and the business. Sometimes shit gets out of hand and I often get scattered. I'm getting better at it but there's so much to do and time is...

There's always someone who will have more than you. There's always someone who is praying for what you have right now. Be humble guys. Be grateful and enjoy your life. Being in the middle is perfectly fine. Always keep grinding for a better tomorrow. I can honestly say that it's a far, far reach to become the next Zucks, or Bill Gates or Warren Buffett. Be humble and work for what you want and...

The right thing is always the right thing. No matter what you do, do the right thing. If that means going the extra mile to make a customer happy, or not cutting corners, doing the right thing will lead to good qualities that you can grow upon. One customer lost is one to many. For example, if you ship an item and the customer isn't happy and wants a refund, give them a reason to come back to...

If you had to start again, what would you do? I myself would have started a business at a much younger age. What I know now I wish I knew years ago. As time goes by you experience more and more and most importantly you learn. You learn from your mistakes as well as your successes. What would you do if you started all over?

Dwelling on what you fucked up on is the quickest way for the next thing not to work. We all make mistakes and the bottom line is if you think and worry and dwell on the things you messed up on, you will never find inner piece which will prevent you from moving forward. Learn and focus on moving ahead and not what happened in the past. Mindset is EVERYTHING! 

Me+Collecting=Happy Besides my wife and kids and extended family, collecting bobbleheads makes me the most happy. I love the hunt, the passion and most of all helping other's within the game. I've recently made a lot of trades with people from all over the country and it's a good feeling. The trust and the passion other's share drives my attention to become bigger and bigger. That's what makes...

Life is a gift. Wake up every morning and realize that. We all complain and bitch about things we want better. Very few people realize what is in front of us. You are a human being and can do what you want with hard work! Do you realize how many children and poor people there are throughout this world? People who don't even have drinking water, clothes or food? And here we are reading blogs...

You win when you fall in love with patience. If you've watched my vlog this week I spoke about being patient. It is the key ingredient and at the same time it's one of the hardest things to control internally. Being patient requires so much self discipline you have no idea. I knew when I started my business that it would take me years to get where I want to be. I started this site last August...

Decide what you want. Make a f*cking plan and work on that sh*t every single day. I see so many people go through life and just flat out going through the motions. They don't have a care in the world and they settle. They settle for being mediocre. They don't care. And what grinds my gears even more is when they complain. I can't go here and I can't buy this. Well, make a fucking plan and...

1 Year = 365 Opportunities. 365 days is a ton of time to work on your goals. That's only one year! Most people and their businesses start making progress and growth after 4-5 years! It takes time and YOU have a lot of time to accomplish what you want. No excuses. 365 days within one year is long enough for you to figure out what you want to do and how to achieve it. Don't think of it as "one...

Without commitment you'll never start. Without consistency you'll never finish. If you fail to commit yourself you will never get going. You must realize when you head out to start your goals, you have to be ALL fucking In! All in! If you have the stones in you to go all in, then while you are on your journey, you have to stay consistent. If you tend to take days off and not work late and not...

The better you become, the better you attract. Everyone loves attention. It's in our DNA and our overall human nature. So, if you're in need of attention, I suggest you bust your ass and become very successful. The more well rounded and successful you are, the more people want to be surrounded with you. Why does Justin Timberlake has millions of fans run up to him on the street? Because he's...

There is only one boss. The customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else.  People who own businesses need to realize this. You do one bad thing or make the customer have a bad experience and he or she will walk. They'll go somewhere else and spend their money. How many times have you been to a restaurant and hated it?...
