If you want to make six figures, you can´t just be talking about making six figures.
If you do the three things mentioned in this text, I guarantee whatever it is you want to do in life you will be able to do.
You will be able to acomplish whatever you want whether it be academically, financially, relationally, whatever.
Let me start with a story. There was once a young man who wanted to make a lot of money so he went to this old man.
Man: "I want to be on the same level as you"
Old man: ”if you want to be on the same level as me ill meet you tomorrow at the beach at 4am.”
Man: ”The beach? I said I wanted to make money, not swim.”
Old man: ”If you want to make money meet me at the beach 4 am.”
So the guy came there at 4am, approaching the old man, ready to rock-n-roll with his suit
Old man: ”How bad do you want success?”
Man: "I really want it!"
Old man: ”Well, walk into the water.”
Man: ”I dont want to swim! I dont want to be a lifeguard! I want to make money!”
The guy was about to go back home thinking this old man is fucked up. The old man said ”I thought you wanted to be successful?” grabbing the guy and held him under water... for a long time. Just before the guy was about to pass out he raised the guy up from the water and said ”I got a question for you: when you were under water what did you want to do?” ”BREATHE” said the man.
When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you will be successful.
Just imagine yourself when you are short of breath.
The only thing you want to do is to get some air.
You dont care about some basketball game, some tv, some party or whatever… the only thing you care about is fresh air.
When you get to the point where all you want to do is to be successful as bad as you want to breathe, then you will be successful.
Most of you say you want to be succesful, but 99% dont want it bad, you just kind of want it.
You dont want success more than you want to party, to be cool.
Hell, most of you dont want success as much as you want to sleep.
Some of you love sleep more than you love success.
If you are going to be succesful you have got to be willing to give up 10 hours of sleep.
If you really want to be successful you got to sleep less some days.
Because if you sleep 10 hours a day you might miss the opportunity to be successful.
That´s how bad you got to want it.
Most of you wont be succesful because when you try something and it doesnt work you quit.
Somebody came up to met he other day crying.
I said ”Dont cry to give up, cry to keep going.”
Dont cry to quit, you are already in pain, you are already hurting.
Dont give up until you succeed.
All men are created equal, but some men work harder in pre-season.
When I went to college a lot of guys were smarter than me, they got good grades. But now they are not doing what I am doing because it´s not about where you come from, it´s about heart.
The important thing is this, to be able, at any moment, to sacrifice what you are to what you will become.
I.e. some of you need to give up your internet-surfing because the time you spend on it can be used for your success.
You are using your time on the internet which brings you nothing but a bill(exaggerated).
”Im not good at picking up girls”… because you never started!
”Im not good at making food”… because you never started!
”Im not passing my exams”… because you dont read enough!
You quit your life because your gf broke up with you?
You quit your life because someone else is better looking than you?
The problem is you have probably never felt any real pain before(slaves, children in poor countries, rape etc.)
You are soft!
This is a soft generation, they quit on everything.
Pain is temporary, it may last for a minute, a week, a year… but eventually it will subside.
And something else will take its place.
If you quit however, it will last forever.
Think of children in Africa who have no home and no food.
The problem with you guys is that you are spoiled.
You havent felt real pain.
Some of you are spoiled brats.
I dare you to take a little pain. You are not going to die, go trough it, at the end of pain is success...
