If you find yourself disagreeing or irritated with what he's saying or think he's just flat out wrong, you'll be a loser until you get it.

There is always competition.
There are always hardships.
There are always changing markets and environments.
There are always hurdles.
There will always be some wins.
With those wins will come many crushing defeats.
You will inevitably fail at most of the ventures you try.
Great income streams eventually fade and die as everything around you evolves and changes.



The only question that remains after its all said and done is "how bad do you want it?"



The truth is that most of you don't want it bad enough to start taking personal responsibility.

You just don't.

You just aren't the guy who hasn't slept in 3 days because you're so engrossed in what you are doing that all you can think of is launching it.

You just aren't the guy who will watch that project fail and jump right into the next with equal energy and enthusiasm.

You just aren't the guy who has the drive and the determination to succeed.

You just aren't the guy that is strong enough to stand on your own two feet, look in the mirror, blame yourself and stop blaming others.

To stop blaming tubes.

To stop blaming piracy.

To stop blaming surfers.

To stop blaming credit card processors.

To stop blaming anything and everything else besides yourself.

Most of you just simply aren't that guy... of your large group, most of you never will be that guy.

As an alternative to the blood, sweat and sacrifice it takes to succeed, you'll just call those who do give it 110% and risk it all... "greedy" and "cheaters" and "liars" and "thieves" because that's how you choose to deal with your personal shame.
