If you wanna eat with the sharks, you can't be a minnow. Or better yet, if you are a minnow you've got to act like a shark and stay alive as a long as you can. Fake it till you make it type of thing. You heard of that? There's all those cliche sayings that you read in self help books you know? No, you probably don't because the attention span of humans is that of a fly.
That is my challenge to you: Create an attention span long enough to be able to actually read, NOT skim everything because there is something you can learn here. Now, lets talk about self help books. I've read quite a few, some are interesting, most are just the typical you can do it! Just put your mind to it!
As someone who is truly motivated and ambitious to achieve my dreams and visions of success, I get pissed off at these books. The fact that someone had the audacity to write this garbage, charge $20 for it, and know it cannot do anything for any young person trying to get somewhere. The fact that they were once in my same position and were like hmm how can I make some money? I know! I'll write a self help book, because why not!
Where can you find the real answers?
Listen up, I'm no published author, noble prize winner or serial entrepreneur. But I know what it takes to get what you want, when you want and how you want it. I'm warning you though, its not going to be easy. I want to know if you got what it takes. If you really got the sauce, you know?
I want you to get up right now, look at yourself in the mirror, and think about what you see.
If you don't see a cold faced killer, you don't have what it takes yet. Here's the first step to getting what you want: You have gotta be a straight up cold killer. Now, am I referring to a murderer? Hell no, please never take someone's life. I'm referring to the attitude. The mamba mentality. Get some testosterone in you.
Kobe Bryant is my idol for this reason
When Kobe gets on the court, he is a a straight killer. Takes no mercy for anyone or anything. Does what he wants when he wants. This is exactly the persona you have to adopt. I'm talking about everything you do has to be done with this attitude. Every steemit post, every job/ school assignment, every interview, every sporting event, every video game. EVERYTHING YOU DO, YOU WIN.
If you can foster the desire to win and do your best at EVERYTHING you do, you'll be slightly more successful than the guy standing next to you at the end of the day. When you become a living manifestation of this mentality, you start to show it on the outside as well. You walk with a chip on you shoulder and a strut filled with so much swagger people are breaking their necks to look at you.
Now, you got this mind thing down. You need opportunities. You need connections, places to put in that work. Luckily for me, I found crypto when I was going through my killer phase. I straight up grinded, hours on hours, days on days. Trade, research, gym, trade, research, sleep & repeat. I have benefitted greatly from this, as you can see I found steemit and a great community of like minded people.
