So you're going through a tough time right now?
I get it.
So what?
I'm sorry, but let's be blunt here.
Big deal. Life can be difficult, It's designed that way.
Nobody gets anything for free.
So make it fun.
Gamify it.
Star in your own reality TV show.
Test your resolve, your resourcefulness and your reasons.
Ask yourself, 'Why do I do what I do?'
Find the WHY that drives you.
That's why you CAN do this.
YOU ARE DOING THIS.
Most sales people give up a client after 3 rejections.
The rich ones know that the client will buy after 8 calls.
That's why they are rich.
So you are out of cash. Okay.
But you are NOT out of LIFE.
Get a bottle of water go down to the park and sit.
Watch the world.
Nature, kids, people walking, sports people, animals, families, sunshine etc.
AND you.
Buy an ice-cream (if you can).
How cool is the world now?
And this experience has cost you NOTHING.
SEE?
- Make a vision board.
- Set your goals.
- Make them outrageous AND break them down into bite-sized chunks.
- Break the chunks down to daily tasks.
- Pick an enemy, start the fight.
- Make sure to know the villain and the hero are the same person who stares back at you in the mirror.
That's your true competition.
Nobody else cares. They are too busy trying to work out their own journey.
You want an ally, a friend, a sponsor, a buddy or a mentor?
Work out 'What's in it for them?' first before asking about what you need.
Then you'll get that helping hand.
Shhhhhhhh...
Do you hear that noise in the background?
That beautiful violin concerto building to a crescendo of arousing theme music to drive you into battle?
No.
Neither do I.
Because there's nothing there.
That's because nobody else gives a stuff.
So download your favourite movie theme, rock song or inspirational video, put it on your phone and play it as often as you can.
Now you have the best music.
Now you are EPIC.
Life IS hard.
It's not always fair.
Why should it be?
But life NEVER throws anything at you which you cannot handle.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
You weren't born with Trump money, Kardashian fame or Prince talent.
Have you ever truly looked at what these people have gone through?
Not just the main guys, but the also rans, the other family who weren't quite as talented, good looking or connected.
The ones who get discarded.
You are very lucky.
Right now only you are watching your own ascent.
Plus I'm watching too. As of now...
- You are NOT alone.
- You just don't know your fans yet.
- You just haven't made your fortune yet.
- You just haven't discovered your key to happiness yet.
- You're a superstar on the way up.
- You're very lucky.
- The media isn't watching yet.
You can make ALL your bad choices, lousy relationships and embarrassing moments BEFORE the cameras show up.
So you're friends have let you down.
Big deal. Do you hear that orchestra yet?
No. Of course not.
That's life.
Friends can do that.
They also do what they felt right at the time.
Forgive and move on.
You don't have to forget but don't carry it too long, leave room for better people instead.
Choose better friends, one's who are there for you, can teach you something and want NOTHING back.
Get knocked down.
10, 20 times - it doesn't matter how many.
Just get back up 11, 21 times and you'll have done it right.
It's okay to cry. That's natural after a crappy day.
It's okay to lose. We all do sometimes.
It's okay to get hurt. Pain proves that YOU ARE ALIVE.
IT'S WHAT YOU DO NEXT THAT MATTERS!!!
Read biographies, download audiobooks and podcasts by successful people.
Stop wasting your time on bland candy radio, mind-numbing gossip and draining television that doesn't serve you.
Fast track your success.
Start right now.
Love yourself.
Love life.
Let the losers lose - THEY ARE NOT YOU.
Your ex is still making people's lives miserable - just NOT yours any more.
Today you learned to fight back.
What do you think I am doing?
You think I wrote all this just for you?
I wrote it for my daughter Maya too.
She's 6.
She hasn't faced anything like you or I have.
Yet.
But she will and one day she will understand too.
It's not a race against anybody else, it's a race against yourself.
You don't have to be the best.
You don't have to be able to run a marathon.
JUST PUT ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER AND REPEAT.
Once you begin, you've also started winning.
Be the happiest and push yourself outside of your comfort zone daily to check that it still makes you happy.
Pressure makes diamonds.
You have them deep inside you too.
Together lets mine, refine, define and shine our diamonds.
I may be running full speed towards where I need to be but I constantly leave clues as to how I'm getting there.
Read them, watch them and share them.
That's why I do this.
You won't fail - you'll just sometimes get lousy results.
You won't make mistakes - you'll just find better options AFTER you've made choices.
But you WILL learn and YOU WILL MAKE IT.
IF you ask yourself better questions every single day.
You have a built in supercomputer with a success GPS AND it's ready to go.
As soon as you wipe out the toxic programming that everyone else spammed in there.
Fire it up, program it properly and start it working for you.
It's in your head.
GOOGLE YOUR BRAIN.
Ask it 'What do I do next?'
It has a number of answers waiting for you.
You can do this.
You are doing this.
Catch up.
Let's run together.
I promise you, there is more than enough success and happiness for everyone.
Let me know how I can help you find your voice.
