I wanted my nights free to spend w/ my wife. I decided to get up at 3am 7 days a week and deliver newspapers in order to make the money I needed, free up my days to concentrate on building my biz and have my nights free with my wife. what other people I know who was just starting out in the same business did: kept there jobs and chose to work at what they supposedly really wanted part-time, "until it picks up and I can quit my job". they thought I was nuts to get up at 3 am 7 days a week. they also felt that delivering newspapers was beneath them. fast forward, I have a thriving biz, while they're still at those jobs and the supposed dreams they had have faded away. maybe they've moved on to dreaming about something else. I don't know. I'm not trying to pass off what I did as extreme or a drastic life change to make things happen. In the big picture scheme of things it was little. But it was enough to put myself into the position that I HAD to succeed at this thing that we all supposedly wanted back then. What I learned from that was, you have to keep doing it through out your life. Once you reach destination A, a certain level of comfort, the level of sacrifice necessary to inspire terror to take you to B, C and D rise, too. More is demanded of you. There’s so much rarara bullshit out there it makes me sick.

We look at the fancy cars, people playing golf during the middle of the day while we slave away at a 9 to 5. We dare to be the Man of LaMancha and dream the impossible dream! It's all about looking, testing, questioning, and never giving up. Once you find a way that works, do it! Don't think about it and put it off till tomorrow, DO IT!!!!!
