Everyone I talk to lately is all caught up in the maze of life.  Which way do I turn? Which way do I go?  Can I find my way back to the start?  Should I go halfway down the left only to turn around and go right?  INDECISION is a business killer... THINK differently and GO OVER THE MAZE…

I always remind my friends, family, and business partners about the realities of getting into a business – any business…  All businesses go through ups and downs – all of them… People will let you down as well – partly because that’s what people do… and you know what I say to that?  Get over it….. fast!…  I have a challenge for you – Pick a business out of the phone book and ask them if they ever have problems?  If they don’t… we will be over there to buy it!!! Hahhahaha… the fact of the matter is… frustrations and problems are part of owning any business… It’s not what happens to you… It’s how you handle it….

Just remember – There are several stages of understanding and processing… .
People may not get it the first, second or third time.  Follow up &
attending events is key and it makes absolute business sense.
Did you buy your business the first time you heard about our company or would you buy any business the first time you heard about it? You might if you make decisions quickly – but a lot of people aren’t like that…

Frustrations….. ???  THE BEST PART IS – it’s worth it…. They are not kidding when they say … you are one away… what if it took you a year… 2 years… 5 years… to find that person and become financially free – financially independent?  Is that too long? Wouldn’t you like to JUST GO FOR IT?  Stop making excuses and just GO FOR IT – give it everything you got…. Then you would know… really know if you could do it… don’t let this be another thing you just tried … went half way… and… just tried….

Wouldn’t you like to be temporarily inconvenienced to become permanently free and lazy if you choose to be? Hahahaha… WOULND’T You though? I mean isn’t your job inconvenient? Aren’t you tired of all the garbage?  All the false promises?  Tired of taking orders? Wouldn’t it be great to do something else and create other income streams while helping other people?  Do what you love and make money at the same time? Maybe you aren’t tired enough….. maybe your WHY isn’t big enough??? THINK about it hard tonight…. really make a decision and go for it…

I TRULY believe you have to scrape your knees, bump your head… fall off the horse… get rejected…etc…. and… then…. You will appreciate your life and your business more…you will get and find your passion… Passion is key… Your WHY is key…. you will get stronger … those “no’s” in life and business are like lifting weights….. learn from your mistakes… do better… fail better… that’s right … fail better…. You can fail and learn how to do a better job…  IN CLOSING – Those frustrations are the calm before the financial storm!!! Go through them… wait them out….. you will find your pot of gold on the other side of the maze….. you are always 1-3 people away from your dreams!!!  IF YOU WANT TO DO MORE in LIFE – these are the things you must go through and you will enjoy the fruits of your labor!!! IT’S WORTH IT…

I absolutely love this video. It’s an ad from Apple way back in 1997. I thought that it basically summed up my readers better than anything else. I just appeared with 2 clients / friends on the new Cookalong Live Show with famous Chef, Gordon Ramsey.  He is eccentric, different and knows his stuff.  He is a showman and is now teaching people how to cook from home – LIVE – on Fox.  Some people think he is crazy…. I applaud him.  Read more below…

Here is the text version:

Here’s to the crazy ones.
The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They’re not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones,
We see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think
they can change the world,
Are the ones who do.

So here is a toast to you, readers. You are the imaginative, the creative, the mentally and physically strong, the innovators, the revolutionaries and the creators that push our world forward. Keep on following your hearts and passions. Keep on in your pursuit to build something incredible to give to the world. Show the world who you are and what you are made of.

Put a bullet through the forehead of mediocrity.
