So I am working on my business, and so is my wife, which is awesome and I love it. I am so sick of trading away my time (meaning my LIFE) for a worthless paycheck...


Anyways, I know the book says to replace HOPE with CONTROL.

Well, but here's the thing:

Both my wife and I HOPE that our businesses take off soon.

I HOPE that implementing my next feature will result in more conversions.

I HOPE that I will receive traffic for this business to be my primary (and passive) source of income...


I mean I can work so much, and do so much, but in the end aren't we left with HOPE even though we've moved in the Fastlane and we hit the accelerator? We still kinda have to hope that our car does start to drive, and starts to drive as fast as we are HOPING for it to drive.

What do you think?

When is HOPE truly replaced with CONTROL? How can it be truly replaced?
