The NO BS ONLY 2 things you need to succeed!!!
I recently made a post on the forum that really got me thinking about 2 very important things that ive noticed EVERY successful person has. And honestly, I find it hard to see anyone succeeding at anything without them.
In case you missed it, I am referring to drive and ambition...
Unlike this friend of mines when I first started I literally told myself that I would make a full-time living online or DIE trying. I would go for DAYS on literally 2-3 hours of sleep (9am-6am). When my eyes were burning from looking at the screen all day, I just told myself that I would keep right on typing until I literally went blind or it LITERALLY KILLED ME. And it sucked, but im not dead yet. I called these suicide weeks and some of the most significant changes/progress in my business happened during these (for obvious reasons).
I learned this attitude from my experience as an Airborne Infantryman in the 82nd Airborne Division
. It doesn't matter how tired you are, JUST GET IT DONE.
Noone cares if you just broke your leg, just get it done.
Noone cares if your head hurts and or your wife is pregnant, just get it done.
Noone cares if you can't patrol because you are hungry and didn't sleep last night...just GET IT DONE.
Iv'e always said that it comes down to ambition...
"You either have it or you don't; You either will or you won't."
My most successful friends are viciously ambitious and would work 3 full time jobs and sleep under a bridge if it meant saving money for a potential investment/payoff. Unfortunately some people have it, and some don't.
What are some of the horrible things you have had to experience in order to see success?
What kept you motivated and pushing through?
How many "suicide" weeks, or days, do YOU have under your belt??

Mind you he is very educated and if he only had the drive & ambition he could easily start a successful service to make enough money to at least get by until he got back on his feet. Been a few months now and he is still looking for work and asking others for cash. Even worse is that he has this resentful attitude towards me as if I owe him something just because we grew up together, and thinks I should apparently be pouring money down the drain to help him get by. |
