You Are A Failure

11 Mar

You Are A Failure.

That simple.
Embrace it.

No seriously- Embrace It.

You see what I’ve learned since 2014 started is that when I fail I do two things:
1) Pick myself up.
2) Learn from it.

While 2014 has me embarking on a new journey while I hone skills in old ones and close the doors on others I learned that failure is key about 5 weeks ago.

You see I missed a small deadline.
Nothing major, no lost funding, or revenue.
But I missed it, and it worked wonders.

How you ask?

By realizing my failure I learned I had to implement a better in house system to monitor my actions.
And after that I realized that with this system I had to have a way to factor in accountability so I would learn what works for me and what doesn’t-
And discard the rest.

I also found myself revitalized when 1 simple fact dawned on me:
I refused to fail.
Without thinking I had picked myself up and looked for a solution without even realizing it.
Now I’m no genius. I’m not a guru or MIT graduate. what am is a regular guy who has spent some time listening. Especially in 2013 and the 1st month of 2014.
I invested in me.
I bought books.
Expanded my strategies and consulted other people.
And in trying to get better, it seems I did- maybe just a wee bit.

So what is the lesson here?
Don’t be afraid to fail.
Just like a baby learning to walk it’s a process.
The Success comes in how you respond to it.

Wealth Perception Dictates Gains

Perception is a great dictator of where you will be in the future.  Knowing where you are now will aid in this process.  And so I present you this semi- #infographic to remind you where you are dictates where you will go- provided you learn the truth, and make moves to be ahead of the pack.   Nothing happens without effort so be a pack mule and carry your burdens to get to the blessings.

IF…

17 Feb

“If you understand others you are smart.
If you understand yourself you are illuminated.
If you overcome others you are powerful.
If you overcome yourself you have strength.
If you know how to be satisfied you are rich.
If you can act with vigor, you have a will.
If you don’t lose your objectives you can be long-
lasting.
If you die without loss, you are eternal.”
~Lao Tzu

My Boss Yelled At Me

13 Jan

So a week ago my boss at my day job yelled at me.

Was I embarrassed?
No, not at all.
Why?
I handled it well.
And I was inspired by it.

Here are the lessons from my 5 minutes of madness.

Always Keep Your composure.
In the midst of a verbal barrage and repeated threats I didn’t raise my voice or reply in kind.
It made me look regal and my attacker look petty and childish.

Also when you get into an argument with someone you enter into a contract of sorts. Both parties are now stuck in a combative energy and are wasting efforts.
Is that what you really want out of your life?
Isn’t your time and energy worth more?

-Don’t have a Boss.
I realized that while I had a huge victory in this incident via my self control-
I would be a bigger winner still if I had no boss.
I love my job and all that comes with it.
Yet there is a huge chunk of me that yearns to be free. To be in charge.
I love the idea of being my own boss.
For a few years my father worked for himself, and I remember the freedom it afforded him.
And honestly, I’d rather lead than follow, work from home, and keep all the loot my efforts reap.

-Build your OWN Empire.
Having an empire of your own will afford you the ability to be in a position where no one can stop you.
A position where no one will be able to demean you.
You will always be at the top.
You will be unstoppable.
I could say more on this topic but who doesn’t want to be the head honcho of a major enterprise?
Sounds pretty sweet right?

-Poor leadership.
This is a trap you don’t want to fall in.
Never give in to being less than is required, less than you can be.
Leadership requires that you make sacrifices and that you always lead by example.
Never lose your cool.
Never forget to be the best.
Only then can you work with the best.

Day 6 of the 12 Day Challenge

26 Dec

So it’s day 6 of my 12 day challenge.

Oh, did I forget to mention my 12 day challenge?
It’s intentional.
I wanted to get it moving before I spoke on it.

Here’s the results from my tally:
*Posted daily to multiple blogs- CHECK.

*Hit gym religiously-CHECK.
Now here there is a 2 day break for the 24th and 25th of December. Why? Scheduling and injury. But I’ll be doing chest and triceps again tomorrow. For the 2 days off I cut carbs dramatically and ate almost no “snacks.”. As in chips, junk food, etc.

*Sales-CHECK.
I had one person join my team and sold some tees in my personally created line.

*PaperWork- CHECK.
I’m behind on this about a half day but that is irrelevant as it doesn’t impede my bills etc. I’ve filed all but 1 set of paperwork.

*Car issues- CHECK.
I’m 97% done with this as well.
Car runs but I’m aiming to be ahead not behind.

*What am I forgetting?
Nothing I think.

Overall I’m pleased with what I’ve achieved.
I’ve also read a lot and had some serious quality sleep. And I’ve been on point and studious through these days.

And fyi- it is only 1:32am EST so my day 6 hasn’t really begun…

Financial Troubles Don’t Stop the Willing

16 Dec

Walt Disney had a few failed business ventures that forced him to file bankruptcy in 1923. This was before his Disney success that we all know him for.

Donald Trump filed for corporate bankruptcy Four times.

Though he filed in. 1991, 1992, 2004, and 2009- he has never filed for personal bankruptcy- An important distinction which shows his ability to emerge unscathed-
At least financially.

Lesson here: Be tenacious and have the mindset of a champion.
Nothing Stops Those Willing To Go All The Way.
