Confronting Your Inner Devil
The one true reason you’re not successful
Most people reading this article will be entrepreneurs or some other type of artist, creator, freelance worker, charity worker, leader, etc.
Whether you already own a business that has plateaued or you’re just trying to make your first few thousand a month online and nothing seems to work, this can be what finally takes you to that next level you’ve been hungry for.
The fact is, it is very easy to build a $10,000 - $40,000 A month business if you have an internet connection and do what I’m about to show you. This is the one principle you need to understand and the number one reason you’re not successful. Period.
Your subconscious mind has been brainwashed for failure by the modern world and you need to rise above this noise to dedicate your finite energy into the success of your business/mission and your own fulfillment.
You need to transcend yourself and your mind to step back and take an objective look at your thoughts and how they’re affecting you to develop this Laser-targeted focus we call deep work.
I promise you that you’ve already found the business model or “method” that works for you. The problem was not that it didn’t work, that model was “dead”, some algorithm changed or my favorite, it was too “saturated”. Whatever bullshit excuse you made to your self that wasn’t the reason you failed.
The reason you had no success with any business model in the past is your time, your focus and your finite amount of energy was split too many ways to make it profitable.
Every time I talk about this I like to use genius and billionaire Elon Musk as a real-world example of just how important this is.
During a crucial time for both Tesla Motors and his rocket company Space X, there was a point when Elon was famously sleeping on a couch in his office for weeks on end and he claimed to almost bankrupt both companies because he split his focus and energy between both at the same time.
If genius, billionaire Elon Musk failed to successfully split his time between two things, what makes you think you can be successful in splitting your focus between 37?
Sadly this is the norm for the modern day “entrepreneur” who somehow, doesn’t actually make any money...
You know exactly who I’m talking about.
In a recent webinar I hosted I created the perfect example.
Let’s call him, Chad Broski...
I swear I get followed by this same person a hundred times a day on Instagram and each bio is more insufferable than the next...
This neurotic do-everything mentality that lets these absolute frauds who love to stroke their own ego and become intoxicated in the culture of entrepreneurship while never making a single dollar or running a real business.
These people are the exact reason you will rarely hear me call myself an entrepreneur outside of the literal definition. And anybody who does is lying to you.
Look at it this way...
Imagine you’re the quarterback of the Miami Dolphins football team.
If Someone asked you what you do, what would you tell them?
“I’m a sports player”?
Of course not. Anybody in their right mind would look at you funny and inquire further.
You would say “I’m the quarterback of the Miami Dolphins”
The strange reality is, we tolerate this strange behavior when it comes to being an entrepreneur and self-identifying as one is perfectly acceptable to most people.
If you’re truly an entrepreneur and run a real business that makes real money you’re going to identify as the CEO of ABC company and how you provide XYZ service.
This plagues social media including YouTube in particular.
There are seemingly thousands of 17-year-olds jerking off in their mom’s basement that teach you how to make money online calling themselves “entrepreneurs”, but we never find out what business they own.
Isn’t that interesting?
So what’s my main point with all of this?
Shiny-Object-Syndrome mixed with your lack of self-awareness is destroying your ability to become successful in any capacity. Jumping from one trend to another.
Hoping the latest “method” is the one that’s “finally going to make you rich” is the easiest way to stay broke for the rest of your life.
Again, the richest and poorest individuals on this planet have one thing in common.
24 hours in a day and a finite attention span to dedicate to what you so choose.
Splitting your time between more than one business will cause you to fail miserably.
Period.
