A Warriors Will- No Choice but Success

3 replies
Thought this post might help others who are going through a rough patch, after some hesitation of posting this.

After a while of making something (but not enough) online I decided to get things in gear- with the arrival of a bill that is bearing down on me. My college tuition is due in twenty days and I can only pay half (~$2,500). My parents will not pay the other half because they say they don't want me to rely on them forever. I understand. Though, they propose I take out a loan to cover the half I can not pay; I would rather not. I'd rather drop out than take out loans. I know how college loans operate and can see the possibility of debt in the future.

Jobs? I've been applying since April but the market is terrible and haven't gotten that many callbacks despite a decent resume.

What am I going to do? Rant and complain?

No. It's better to stay positive in these situations and there's only one thing to do. Use my knowledge on IM and take massive action.

I'd rather view this as an opportunity than a dilemma because when your back is against the wall it's either fight or flight and taking action is better than complaining and thinking you can't do anything.

State an intention and focus on achieving the result; you get more of what you focus on. Remember that from The Secret?

So, I plan to pay that bill on time by treating my sites like a business instead of a money hobby by doubling up my article marketing, launching a WSO, and maybe even freelancing. Whatever it takes to get that bill paid (legally and ethically)

When you have no other choice your only choice is success. Time to get to work. There are no excuses in the age of the internet because we are connected to people, money and resources all around the world. Take action and make it happen.

    This is so true. I always challenge myself and do everything that can make me successful. I don't want to worry much if things aren't going my way because it will only make me waste my time. So, this is right, instead of dwelling on the problem, just find ways of looking for a solution.

      The bill has been paid in full- ahead of time. And I still have some money left in my savings account.

      Now I have another problem which really deserves its own thread (or blog post) We learned this week the home we're renting in has been foreclosed. I didn't expect the housing crisis to hit this close to home.

      This has been a rollercoaster of a year for me and but I'm still thinking of positive solutions. Whether you think you can or cannot- you're right.
