Inspiration Needed

Here is a favorite video to bookmark and review over and over (wish it were mine, but it's not):

Bottom line: get ticked off, be MAD - -and put your anger into your business and MAKE it work. Don't let anyone misdirect you or tell you something won't work. Just do it! Pull all-nighters and make it work. Find a way!


OK, Warrior - -- Sword up, shield out - -and charge ahead!!!

Thanks guys. I love The Pursuit of Happiness. I usually watch it before I sleep, really deep and inspirational film.

Again, thank you for the comments of support.

Hi James, I'm from the Uk too, Gloucestershire, where r u based?

The first thing to do is stop kicking yourself, you knew it was risky, with high gain, you took that risk, it bit you in the a**, now you need to stop panicking and realise its a chance you took that didn't pay off, and you've learnt from it. This is good! This means everything you do now will be ethical and sustainable! Great start!

Secondly, I hear you on the money front, but your roof over your head is safe for now, and if you don't calm down you won't be able to focus... I know its hard, but YOU need to be your biggest Champion right now, its great to get outside support, but YOU are available to you 24 hours a day, even when you wake in the dead of the night and can't breathe... you have to be your own best friend.

Thirdly, mate you were making $2,000 a week, that is great, YOU did that, no-one else, what makes you think it will be any harder to do that again white hat? You did it before, of course you can do it again, and better!

I have a rule, if you fall, you bounce higher!

Finally, believe in yourself, nurture yourself (yup I know your a bloke, but you can do it!!), treat yourself with kindness and compassion, (get a copy of the dvd 'the secret'), look into the mirror and have what I call a 'whites of the eyes' conversation with yourself, and be your own rock. There is no security in the world other than that. IMO! Remember there never was, nor will there ever be, another James Jeffery again on this planet, you are 100% unique and special, and you were made for a purpose - what is it? Pretty sure its not to beat yourself up!

I have been to 'there' and it really is not fun, but one thing you come out of it with is a depth of love and understanding you won't believe, and that will never be taken away from you. Believe in yourself.

Hugs, and feel free to PM me, and don't forget, you are still alive and breathing, always a good start!

Hi James, well if you feel that you have hit rock bottom, there's only one way to go, isn't there!

Well you've had some video help and wise counsel, so here's a poem for ya. Chin up!

When you get what you want in your struggles for self
And the world makes you king for a day,
Just go to a mirror and look at yourself
And see what that man has to say.


For it isn't your father or mother or wife
Whose judgment upon you must pass,
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.


Some people might think you're a straight-shooting chum
And call you a wonderful guy.
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look him straight in the eye.


He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest
For he's with you clear to the end
And you've passed your most dangerous test
If the guy in the glass is your friend.


You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you've cheated the man in the glass.

So there you go!

Good luck

See it as a positive challenge instead of a negative event. I was in a similar position and kept reminding myself that I could do even better. And I did, eventually. The event served as a trigger, ultimately, and inspired me to ramp up my efforts to succeed.

I'm sure you've had several people in the last year express disbelief over how you earned a living..."No, what do you REALLY do?" and "Pfft. That won't last." and the like.

Picture them in your mind as they were telling you that.

Unless you get it into gear...THEY WILL HAVE BEEN RIGHT.

Screw that...do it just to show'em, if nothing else.
