My Biggest Realization From Going $0-$100k+ In 2014
With the year coming to a close, It's definitely been one of the most self-rewarding years yet. At the beginning of the year, I had literally $100 bucks in my bank account, dropped out of college, and moved back home to my parents house in buffalo.
I knew I was heading down the wrong road, and never in my life had I ever wanted to be "average" or "good", I wanted to be great. By the end of 2014, my bank account looks like this....
(this is not to brag, just to kind of further my point.)
So here's a couple key things I learned:
Everything We Know Up Until This Point Is Learned: Since we we're little kids we modeled our actions, thoughts, and feelings around other people. For most of us, our parents and environment plays the biggest role. Our parents, culture, society, and experiences all have molded us to think, behave, and act the exact way we do.
....so if we learned it, we can LEARN that some beliefs we have aren't true.
For example, my dad was a workaholic. He always had this "Work Harder" attitude that always left him stressed, pissed, and asking my mom where the god damn dinner was.
So naturally, I thought I had to "work harder" than everybody else to make money. Which is COMPLETELY false. Most of us work hard enough already, most people don't THINK hard enough.
But for some subconscious reason, I held on to that belief, and kept spinning my tired in the dirt, until I finally became AWARE of the actual inner lying "preconditioned" belief system.
FEAR is a 10x Stronger Emotion Than Pleasure (but they're both going to defeat your logic 9 times out of 10): Instead of seeing all the nice things I wanted, and how it would feel to have them, etc. I had to associate the opposite. The PAIN of not having money is what was driving me, not the "pleasure" of having it.
Quick Tip: Think about the consequences if you don't follow through, if you don't make this happen, and you don't MAKE this work - instead of all the good things, abundance, time, freedom, love, self-actualization, etc. (Whatever reason you want money for)
Mirror & Match: Naturally, we want to become LIKE people we admire, have interest in, etc. (Look at your friends...) Study people you look up to, model their game (in a creative and effective way) and BETTER it.
......and the last one, knowledge without the ability to use it creatively and effectively is useless.
You can read every book, write everything down, but if you're not THINKING hard enough - it's not going to work.
Just some food for thought as we enter the new year. Merry Christmas to all warriors and their families, and let's make 2015 our year!
