Have you ever found yourself just going through the motions everyday?
You've got all these great ideas that you think will become your fastlane and you can just see how it will play out? That's exactly what will happen unless you get your mind on the fastlane and your a$$ outta that chair!
The key phrase is: "see how it will play out."
You'll be sitting there thinking/dreaming about your future and you will see it play out in front of you while someone else executes it!
Look at some of the posts here from some internet serial entrepreneurs.... "See that "x-widget site" I thought of that back when..."
"I thought people would love it if I gave them (insert the site here that just sold for 40 gazillion)"
Do you want to say that? Or do you want to be able to say, "yeah I just sold my company for (oops I don't want to tell it was so damn much coin!)?
Or maybe, "yeah, I have enjoyed the ride to success and now my company helps (x) amount of people every year. Oh yeah, we made a bundle doing big things to!
"
The key to this point is privilege. YOU, right here, right now, have a privilege. You have yourself, your gifts and talents, your ability to create hunger, and the privilege to WORK!
If you don't take advantage of it and utilize your opportunities, YOU WILL BE THAT GUY STILL DREAMING! I know from experience in my short time on this earth, as it's happened to me on a couple occasions already.
So what kind of a life is that? What a waste. Don't take your life and what you can do with it for granted.
I love this forum and the people in it, but if for a second, you don't get moving, you will be laying on your death bed still dreaming about how it will play out. I don't want to be THAT guy! But don't think I don't understand all walks of life...At some point or another for some, that may seem ok. It's not. When life gives us lemons and we're in some lows, not much seems to matter.
Hell, for some of you out there, life might just feel like shit and you jusy want to die. No one knows it, but I have felt that before. What you may find even more surprising, is that many of the most successfull people in the world, have also been there.
Know this. Your life can be different. If you think it can't, then it won't. The first door you need to open is your own. I'd suggest you get poppin' on that!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again....How bad do you want it?
Of the excuses you tell yourself...."If only I had..."
How many years are you going to waste saying it? The year you decide all you need is you, is the year you start your life. I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't say I've wasted some years. Hey, maybe I'm not operating at my full potential now. Point being, recognize it and take hold. Those chances aren't offered indefinitely.
So you have what you need, but... " I just can't figure it out" or "I don't have the money." More excuses offered by you. You should expect more of whatever you have now, nothing better.
The best guy to mentor you here on this forum can't make you succeed. Your dreams are not going to magically come to fruition sitting in that chair staring at a screen.
So, the challenge is yours. Will you DO SOMETHING, or will you THINK SOMETHING?
(one of my biggest lessons ever learned is, do not watch the trends. BE the trends. That can only happen if you make your moves.)
