My Intense Desire to "Win"

Before I get started, let me just say that I'm not 100% sure what my definition of winning is. But I do have some idea.

Winning to me is not giving up. It's not complaining about my life. I refuse to do this and I run away from these people as quickly as I can like it's a disease.

I used to feel bad and call myself a "workaholic." I was around the "wrong" kind of people that wanted me to chill and not keep pushing.

I've been like this since I was a kid cleaning ashtrays at my uncle Joel's tire shop and I don't want to stop being this person. I love winning and I'll never stop loving it.

The good news is that part of what winning is to me, the part that I know is that I love helping other people. Whether they can help me back or not, I love feeling like a "hero" in some way. It makes me feel good and I guess that is selfish but I could be selfish in a worse way, right?

Whatever. lol

One piece of winning to me is getting further away from my fear. I've heard a few people like Ed Mylett say this and it's 100% true. He and Andy Frisella were talking on a podcast about that and it really struck home for me.

I never remember not having food when I was a kid but I do remember my mom being so sad because we had to eat eggs and cheese sandwiches or spaghetti a lot. I also remember my parents making $8,000 in one year and being pretty excited about it. This was, of course, like 30 years ago.

Inflation—but still.

If you're like me, I'd love to hear from you. It does feel a little lonely at times even though I have so many friends that are also go-getters with an intense desire to win.

*Shrug*

I'm weird and it's okay. lol I've learned to embrace it and just keep moving forward.

You can never lose if you never quit. My brother (a longggggg time [hahah if he reads this] businessman and I talked about this morning.

He said some people thought he was crazy for some of the business decisions he made but they don't see the bird's eye view of what is taking place.

Anyway, I guess the whole point of this is just to put it out there that I'm embracing my desire to win and I think you should too. But hey. You don't have to listen to me. lol

Let's just go out there and bring some massive value to the marketplace. :)
