I use it as motivation. I know how people are. Motivated for a short time then they do other things. I help out a lot of people and a lot of my friends are photogs and directors.
But nobody will put the time in that i put in when it comes to working. I put 12 hour days in 6 days a week. Refining what i do, marketing, researching things for my self, etc.
I used to teach people BJJ and they would get good. They would 4 years later come and try to submit me. When we would actually start to wrestle, it would become very apparent to me and to them that they were not putting the time in, that i was putting in to becoming that much better.
My opponent was training 3 times a week for and hour and a half per training session. I would train twice a day 2+ hours per session 5 days a week and once on Sunday.
In short everything i do, i work it as if im going into a competition. And as i noticed nobody really puts that kind of time into things.
So helping people out in turn helps me out. I use my competition getting good as a motivational tool to keep working hard.
