While I do not post a lot here, I am an extremely active user of this forum. I spend my time absorbing information and offer active and valid input where I feel I can add value. Most of you probably do not know me, I hope I can offer some insight into my mindset with this post.
I have noticed over that past few months that there has been an increase in the amount of threads that contain phrases such as “I’m going to…”, “I will do…”, “I will be a billionaire…”, and many more similar titles.
During these past few years as an up and coming entrepreneur, I have had my fair share of mentors. Some more successful than others, but one lesson rang true more than anything else from each of them. That lesson has been drilled into me continuously since day 1.
Actions speak louder than words. Generally we see people start their progress threads extremely excited and ready to take on the world. We also see these same people fall off the map after a weeks / months. They talk about what they are going to do, how successful they are going to become, what type of Lamborghini they should get, or how they will become a billionaire within 3 years.
While I encourage optimism and looking to the future, let your actions speak for themselves. Keep a journal, and once you get far enough into your journey, you can post it up for review and feedback. While you do lose the real time feedback, you are not stopped from asking specific questions about issues you encounter and possible solutions to these questions.
I have even been guilty of posting these threads and having them fall out after a few months, but as my mindset of this idea that actions speak louder than words shifted, I tend to try and offer value and contribute with everything that I share on this forum, while sharing select experiences in select threads.
Do you agree, disagree, or have something to add? Please share your own experiences with this matter.
I apologize if this has been posted before, but I still see it happening. I motivated me to post my own views on it. Please excuse any grammar errors, it is 2:15 am here and I am still going strong.
