The internet has a lot of big talkers, yet few that make decent big money. However you know better than anyone what direction you want to head.

1. Write down who you want to become. Take the actions the guy you described on paper would take.
2. Your "feelings" are meaningless to success. Never let how you "feel" dictate what you do. Take action first and that will make you "feel" good.

The money is not in new and exciting stuff. those industries get a swarm of new guys and competitive guys where it all becomes a brutal race to the bottom. Yeah, that industry might change the world but only a handful of guys get something out of it.

The money is in old boring stuff.

If you've gotten comfortable doing something, you've been doing it for too long.

That made me start pushing further.

Generally speaking, do the most valuable thing first. Write a list of things that need to be done and do the one thing that will give you the biggest return on the investment of your time. Procrastinate on doing the little things that won't make a big difference in your life, because you'll never get everything done that could be done.

One day I'm going to die. Make something of this life for the short time that I'm here.

I'm listening to The ONE Thing right now. I haven't finished it, but this is what I have gotten from it so far...

Focus on ONE thing at a time.

You can identify "The ONE Thing" by asking yourself questions...

E.G. "What's the ONE thing that I can do to ____ ?"

If your wife or girlfriend is talking and you zone out, and she suddenly says," ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?!?!"
Calmly say, "of course I am listening, I just don't see where you are going with this."

BEST. ADVICE. EVER.

 

[Mattie]

Mind your own business and focus on the goal. Why ? It's quite obvious if you're paying attention to everyone else and what they're doing, saying, or the drama they're trying to drag you into, you're wasting time, not focused, and not reaching your goal. Let other people worry about themselves.

 

[Andy Black]

Start.

Just had to bump this great piece of business advice.

Drive as if all the others were drunk crazies, and try to look 3 seconds in the future.

Got this advice from my grandpa on the day I got my driving license, saved my life twice.

And, I don't believe in drop shippers because I want to corner a market, and drop shippers by definition are available to anyone. Find an angle, a supplier that doesn't do eCommerce today, or some reason for existence. You have to find a need a fill it. Don't open a store for the sake of opening a store... I did that before and it didn't work. Until you find a REASON for existing - a reason people would buy from you - don't do it.

My daughter had written on her white board "Find your place to stand and move the world..."

Found the quoted post last year while scouring
the forum in my free time.

Purpose
Value
need

All makes sense to me now.

Frankly I'm not sure how I will move the world... but a pebble looks doable lol.

All the analyzing in the world isn't as good as your intuition.

Even if you go to school and work a 50 hours a week on top of it, don't use that as an excuse to procrastinate on your dreams.
