/// Never Settling For Average In An "IM" World Of Opportunity

contract said:
Yes I am, but I do so in a way to hope to inspire others to continue to succeed, not to mention myself. I try to put the most enthusiasm in whatever I do, but I know a lot of people aren't into the whole self motivation deal... (That's fine) For a long time I couldn't get into the right mindset myself, I never realized that in order to achieve your goals you have to look past all the bullshit, and tell yourself you are going to seize everyday, every morning. (Easier said, than done)

Honestly I don't want the attention, I was just trying to satisfy my curiosity. I was never in this position before, I didn't know what to expect; I try to take on the world as if there's always something you can learn from.. Years ago, I had nothing, and it snowballed to where I had just let myself down. I spent a lot of time trying to find that motivation I lost, and changing my mindset was one of the hardest things. And when I was finally successful for once at a much, much larger goal, I didn't know how to approach it. But at least now even I know..

In short. I don't want people to be attracted to me, I just want people to find inspiration in themselves.. So they can have the same attitude I have. I know that's not how the world works, but for me it feels better to give than to get.

That'll naturally happen. Your resources can make an impact on how people perceive you, if you want, but alternatively you could just be yourself and use your resources to help those you love.

The inspiration you desire to share with others will inevitably follow as the people that love you see your success. People are naturally curious, overtime you'll bump into people who can look past materialism and see that you actually possess wisdom and intelligence. Those are the ones you want to share with, they will listen.

Why? From my experience, if given the opportunity, the vast majority of people will just drag you down to the point where they begin hurting you personally including your income. Everyone has problems, needs helps, has loads of ideas, etc... few are successful.

In previous lives I was a much nicer guy, and wasted an unbelievable amount of time on people like that. Sometimes these people were even my roommates, or just friends, or business associates, or whatever. I genuinely cared about helping them though, would listen to all their bullshit, help implement their ideas, bring them into my business, or whatever. Many times, this required sacrificing my own time, ideas, ambitions, increased my stress level, etc.

These people (even the ones I lived with) would constantly tell me how I'm such an amazing guy, one of the best friends they ever met, and oh so intelligent. Once business interests faded for whatever reason though, I was no longer too important, and when going through rough times, I was basically ignored.

Low and behold though, once they believe I'm on an upswing in life, I all of a sudden become Mr. Popular again, and someone worth knowing. Then sure enough when I politely tell them to go fuck themselves, I end up being labeled the asshole in the situation. Still haven't quite figured that out. Nowadays, the only chance I'm helping someone is if a) I get a piece of the pie, and b) I believe it's an idea worth implementing.

I get asked multiple times a week if I can help someone "with their website".

I was in a pub Monday and the landlord asked me what I did for a living. I made the standard "I run a digital marketing company" and the landlord asked me if I could help them to make a website for a couple of beers.

I say I'm too busy, and they think I'm a dick. Good times.

Neg repped you for being a dick.
 
OP - Obviously I don't agree with everything you did. But to the extent that your post has motivated me, you deserve my gratitude.
 
We all seek fortune & glory. Nothing wrong with that. However, your delivery sucks. It's just gonna piss people off. But pissing people off is fun too. Lol

Just don't over do it. You still wanna get invited to all the parties.

Congrats btw, I'm envious as fuck.

Why, I have read it. And see how many folkz commented, they've also read.
 
IMO, it is the best not to mention any dollar amounts to anyone. People will naturally see that you are doing well when you buy a house, car, w/e.

What you feel world is withholding from you, try giving that to the world. But the best just to be natural.

Also whatever you find you are curious about or are interested in means this experience/area of life isn't completely clear for you. In this case perhaps you don't fully understand how human psyche works. Easiest way to understand this is to study yourself. When one understands his own ego well, he understand the others and react to it with compassion, since you know why they are acting the way they are acting and at their level of development it is the only way they can react to whatever situation you have at hand.
 
Meh, I am bored, case in point:

I'm not sure why I wrote this post, I'm not sure where it will take you or even me. There's no hidden gems in here, or secrets, just something I've experienced as time has passed. Maybe you're traveling down this road now, or perhaps you've already been on it..​

My friends and family used to complain to me (and in fact they still do)...

Why are you spending so much time on the computer?
You are wasting your time on the computer!
You do nothing but play on that computer!
I worked HARD today at work, you can't do that from a computer!
The computer won't EVER pay the bills!

Yes I've heard them all... I work at 9-5? Well more like a flexible every other day 11-5... But every hour at home I am working online. 8+ Hours/day on top of work when I get out of the office.. (In essence I work two jobs, because I'm addicted to working and finally found two jobs I'm equally passionate about). Besides the point.. But I tell people IRL. "If I told you, YOU could make a MILLION dollars next year if you just worked online everyday for the next year would you?".. And everyone says: No! That's not going to happen, that's impossible. (He's crazy right!) (Mother fucker thinking he's Mark Zuckerberg, PSHHH!) "He's totally wasting his time"..​

Yet they don't understand the concept of making money online. In fact I don't think they ever will. The people I meet who don't own websites (a tiny 1%), are fascinated that I make money online. And ASK questions. The 99% think I'm full of shit, and am just wasting my time. ODDLY Enough if you tell someone who's already ONLINE they can make money online they will CREAM their pants. Look at WSOs, and Work From Home making $50K scams. People CRAVE that shit, and get burned by it. (Maybe that's why people hate believing you can make money online).

I guess IRL the only way to get people to notice is to drive a LAMBO. And make people ENVY you, and think alright he's REAL about this. I could have $600K in CASH in my bedroom and tell someone IRL I made $20K last month, and they would say No, you didn't. Or "Great", ... Pshh!. (What a liar, stop trying to impress me! - Mentally) UNTIL you are driving an expensive car, wearing a $40K watch, etc. no one will believe you. I guess people want what they can't have, and if they can't see it, they don't want it.​

Last month I posted a screenshot of my Amazon account on Facebook to see what people would say.. (I don't EVER do this) Anyways, it was $13,000 last month in revenue. ZERO Likes or comments.

Some girl posts a FB Photo of her face in a shitty Instagram filter photo. 56 Likes. Some guy talks about he's starting a t-shirt company, his products look like pure shit. His business will fail, 100% chance. (Burn out guy (You know the type), he's spent a week at MOST on this little venture). 32 Likes, and comments supporting him. But me? YEARS working on a website business, hours and hours and hours put into HARD work, and No one cares about my success. (Maybe haters? Seems like people would respect it, or be proud to know someone like you). Or even want to learn/ask questions for that matter... I think I have roughly 1,500 people on there? Even friends/family didn't acknowledge it. I'm not mad, I don't hold it against anyone, I'm just curious to see how people respond.

Now I will say this.. I've gotten a TON of support from people online, I mean a TON. From random people I don't even know IRL. (GREAT Motivation). I actually think random people's thoughts and support is WAY better than anyone's IRL. Their's no incentive for them to support you, their just being REAL.​

Internet marketing offers an incredible opportunity, it just takes a willingness to accept and commit yourself to it. You CAN BE anything you want to be (Okay maybe not an Astronaut Sloth), but there's nothing to STOP you for making money online. With all the people complaining about not having a job, or on government welfare saying the markets too tough... Aside from the laziness aspect, it's something I will never understand. Online you can be the CEO, the writer, the designer, the coder, the assistant, etc. There are so many jobs out there it's insane...

And what I don't understand the most.. Is why would people rather sit in front of the TV after work, or even in their free time everyday?​

Do you have no passion in your life? Do you want to be average? Do you want to work for the rest of your life, knowing you did NOTHING to achieve absolute GREATNESS? Ask yourself, are you OKAY with failure? ... I know average people who will say, "One day I'm going to drive a LAMBO"! Yet all they do is go to college, and end up working for $40K/year.. Or "One day I'm going to be that guy!" (Millionaire guy). But they never put in the hard work, but it's MORE than that, it's accepting the RISK. Willing to break the mold, be creative, stay up all night, and become someone spectacular. A person who's not defined by their paycheck, instead a person who's defined by their ambition, boldness, and willingness to commit to hard work and the risks that come along with it. Because you can never reach success if you've never experienced failure.

I will never settle for average, and I hope you won't either...​

Ask him if he'll bartend a party of yours for a couple beers.

When he says no explain it is the same thing.

If he says yes find a better pub to drink at.

I didn't say no one would read it but it makes it a lot more difficult to read because the starting point for each line is in a different location and it forces the reader to have to search for it. It's not good typography and should be avoided.

Plus, nobody starts reading a thread from the first second. Everyone scans first.
