    In the sport world people always try take the weak points of their opponent and use it as their strength. That is not true in business at all. It will not lead to wealth. Do not apply this way of thinking to entrepreneurship. If you do that you will live in scarcity.
    The bare minimum requirement to be successful in business is to believe in yourself and to think that you are good at what you are doing. If you think that you have to take something from someone in order to achieve results, then according to you, the world is a bad place. This belief is an absolute killer for entrepreneurship.
    I have discovered that there is infinite amount of abundance and wealth. The resources in today’s world are endless and if you use them in a smart way, you can achieve anything you want in life. We are living in an era that has never existed before and we have to take advantage of that.
    It would have been unthinkable to build a billion dollar company 100 years ago. Now, we are living in an abundant economy where you can make anything you want and if people value it, you can create wealth.
    100 years ago there were many more people who were starving compared to these days. Nowadays, even very poor people are living much better than very wealthy people from previous ages. There is more opportunity now than we have ever had. Everything is improving daily and people invent things that have never been done before.
    Whatever you do, as long as you go in the same direction with the economy, you can achieve result and make a lot of money. If you live an average life and you live in a western country, you are in the top 2% percent of the wealthiest people.
    The idea of taking something from someone in order to create wealth does not apply anymore. There are so many people that are not working efficiently and doing things that produce a lot of wealth. If we start working more efficiently and work in a very smart way, we can make a huge impact on the world.
    I believe that in a few years, there will be a lot more people who are doing creative and interesting things instead of repetitive boring work. We are going towards more fun work instead of working in a factory and doing the same thing every single day again and again. There will be invented robots that can replace the people who are doing the repetitive boring stuff that many people are doing right now.
    There is infinite opportunity as long as you are offering what people are buying. You can do anything you want and do things that you are passionate about and you cannot feel like that is work anymore. There are infinite possibilities nowadays.
    Technology is improving every day. There are many business models that you can implement. You do not have to be super intelligent to be one of these guys who can revolutionize the world and make an impact on a great number of people.
    You do not have to understand math and complicated programming languages to be able to make a really cool website.
    The only explanation that I found about why people in the western countries are not wealthy enough is that they are not working smart enough. I can highly recommend you to get on board dive into entrepreneurship. The freedom that you will have in your life is absolutely amazing and you will value every single minute of your time on earth.

    In this podcast you are going to learn how to get passive multiple online income streams on autopilot. A lot of marketers use these terms. Before I was searching how to make money online and this was eight-nine years ago when I used to use terms like these. One of my favorite was passive income, because you just sit back and you do nothing to get money.
    Now I am going to point you the right direction of how to approach and how to get this multiple stream passive income, I am going to teach you where to go and how to do that.
    The first thing you need to know is that all these terms that I just said are complete fabrication. They are made up terms, created by marketers, so regular people understand what the marketers are selling. But if you approach business entrepreneurship and building wealth with these terms, then you will be locked in in a certain specific system that will always keep you poor.
    Language and how things are called actually has a lot of power. Many young entrepreneurs believe that to build a business you need a passive income. To build a business you need to have a multiple income streams. They will always be stuck in this system.
    If you focus on the wrong things, you will be let down in a dark hole full of evil marketers who want to take your money. What they are going to teach you is complete rubbish, they are not going to teach you how to build a real business. They are going to teach you stuff that keeps you on the line and keeps you buying information products so they do not have to get a real job. If you learn business properly and you learn from actual business people, then you will be much more likely to achieve success.
    So how do you learn the real terminology? I am not going to give you the answer that you are looking for, I am going to give you the answer that you need.
    You need to read some books about finance. Learn the terminology that people use, learn from people who are in control of actual wealth.
    Future earnings, investing on the stock market, commodity trading, revenue are not multiple income streams. I am using very simple terms and all these terms mean something else so you cannot bundle them together. You need to know what are you talking about, because if you know what you are talking about, you will know what to ask experts and how to communicate with them. If you learn from actual experts, people who have made it, not just teaching it, you will be able to easily find out how to do anything.
    I am not an information marketer. I specifically tell people, I do not pander, I do not sell information. I work with entrepreneurs long term to build a business. If you actually want results, you have to sit down and work on specific skills like sales, Facebook adds and so on, learn how to get clients, either for a service or selling your own product using these skills to build yourself an online funnel.
    If you know how to use these terms, then maybe you will learn how to ask the right questions. People think they sound smart when they use the marketing terms, so if you use them but you do not ask the right questions, any real entrepreneur will know that they have no idea what you are talking about.
    When I talk to successful business owners, I see that they are just focused on their business and building their own company and focus on data, skills, hiring people and stuff that actually matters in business, stuff that will put you on the road of results instead of the road of being an information junkie.

  • How To Find Your Purpose
    In today's podcast I discuss how to find your purpose and whether or not having NO purpose is bad. This question comes directly from my assistant and I thought she had a great question so I answered it on my youtube channel. Hope it helps you too!
    “Want to connect on facebook? Add me on Facebook:
    http://www.facebook.com/aleksander.vitkin
    Follow me on Instagram: @aleksvitkin”
    There are a few definitions of purpose. One of them is feeling and wanting to do something. In other words that means that you are in a state for a certain amount of time that you want to do something.
    Is there a problem of not having a purpose?
    There is not a right or wrong answer to this question. Generally, the first answer that maybe comes to your mind is yes, because if you do not have a purpose, you are going to lose time. Time is the most valuable asset that we have.
    You are not supposed to wake up one day and instantly have a purpose and instantly start doing what you are supposed to do.
    If you are looking for a purpose, you should go out and implement what you are good at, go out and do 10 times more than the other people around you.
    If you are able to build these healthy habits for a long period of time, then some of them will become your purpose.
    I have a friend who was going to the gym every day as a hobby and after a while he discovered that he has found his purpose and it was to help other people lead healthier way of life and help them become strong.
    He came to that realization after many years being both in fitness and being in entrepreneurship.
    Most people cannot tell you instantly what their purpose is, what they are doing right now and what their mission in life really is. Highly successful people know what their purpose is.
    If you have people around you who keep telling you from a very early age that you should be someone. Then, after a while, that goes into your head and that becomes your purpose. That is a very easy way to find your purpose, but you have to rely on someone else. With the help of your surrounding you can easily find your purpose.
    Finding your purpose can be really tough, but it can be easy as well. In order to find your purpose, you have to be able to find what you are passionate first. You have to find out what you care about, what would you live for and what would you die for.
    Passionate people have a lot of energy and that is why successful people have huge doses of it. They never run out of energy and they cannot wait to get going, because they have a purpose in life that pushes them to do amazing things in their lives.
    You can create a purpose for yourself. There are many people who have created a purpose in business for themselves. To really experience the full sense of purpose takes a lot more than just watching a random video. It takes action. It takes getting out there and making stuff happen, getting in front of a crown, talking to them and being a motivational speaker.
    You should go out and fight for a place among the people that you want to be around. If you want to be successful in life, you have to find your purpose. You have to try a lot of things and see what you are best at and what have a passion for.
    If you are listening to this podcast, you are probably interested in business and probably that is your purpose in life. Knowing why you are here watching me talking to you means that you are on your way to finding your purpose.

  • How To Solve The Procrastination Puzzle For Entrepreneurs With Tim Pychyl Interview
    Here's an interview with Tim Pychyl, the author for How To Solve The Procrastination Puzzle. We discuss how to deal with procrastination for entrepreneurs with some real world examples.
    “Want to connect on facebook? Add me on Facebook:
    http://www.facebook.com/aleksander.vitkin
    Follow me on Instagram: @aleksvitkin”
    Tim Pychyl is a world class expert on procrastination. He has been doing that for 22 years. Tim is an associate professor in psychology and you can get his book “How To Solve The Procrastination Puzzle” from Amazon.
    Entrepreneurs are focused on learning new difficult skills. It is very important to learn difficult skills, implement them and beat procrastination.
    • Should students and entrepreneurs take the same approach to solving the procrastination puzzle?
    There are a lot of similarities and the basic similarity is that we are all human beings and we all experience lots of different emotions. Some of these emotions are negative and people do not want to experience negative emotions. The easiest solution is to avoid doing the things that make us have bad feelings. People always do that and postpone these activities for the next day or next week or they do not even do them at all.
    You have to get pass that. It is not about what you want to do. It is about what you have to do. It is really about overcoming that resistance.
    • How would you approach building scary habits like public speaking or cold calling?
    If we pick cold calling for example, there are many negative emotions that can come over you. You have to do your best to overcome those negative emotions and to get out of your comfort zone. Only then, you will be able to achieve results.
    If we are feeling defeated and if we are feeling that we do not have the skills, that is the time when we are most likely to give up. The fear of failure can make us put things off.
    • Do you think that procrastination can be a good thing?
    There are many forms of delay. You can find many good reasons to postpone something for tomorrow, but if you want to be a really successful entrepreneur, you must not delay anything. You have to do the work that has to be done as soon as possible.
    Procrastination is when you know it is the time to act and you are not acting and the only reason why you are not acting is you. However, if you have a more important task that is a priority for you, then that is not procrastination.
    Procrastination cannot be a good thing. It is a negative form of delay. Most people are interested in decreasing procrastination, because it can contribute to our success only in a negative way.
    • Did you optimize your life to avoid procrastination?
    There are not perfect people in this world and there are times when even the best people procrastinate. But, the less we procrastinate, the better. You have to make your procrastination small exceptions in your life.
    Sometimes people procrastinate so much that they never even get back and do the work. Every day and every minute we should make ourselves do as much work as possible today and procrastinate as much less as possible because we are not going to feel more like it tomorrow.
    I have the most beautiful toolbox of anti – procrastination and I use it every day. There are many strategies that I use very carefully in order to be successful.
    • Do you plan out your days?
    My calendar is full of various activities that I have to do throughout the day. There are activities like exercise, research, teaching, administration.
    One of the most precious luxuries that we have in our lives is time and that is true to every person on this planet. That is the only resource you cannot get more of. You can make more money, but you cannot make more time. You have to be very careful how you use your time and you have to keep track of it.

    Tim Pychyl is a world class expert on procrastination. He has been doing that for 22 years. Tim is an associate professor in psychology and you can get his book “How To Solve The Procrastination Puzzle” from Amazon.
    Entrepreneurs are focused on learning new difficult skills. It is very important to learn difficult skills, implement them and beat procrastination.
    • Should students and entrepreneurs take the same approach to solving the procrastination puzzle?
    There are a lot of similarities and the basic similarity is that we are all human beings and we all experience lots of different emotions. Some of these emotions are negative and people do not want to experience negative emotions. The easiest solution is to avoid doing the things that make us have bad feelings. People always do that and postpone these activities for the next day or next week or they do not even do them at all.
    You have to get pass that. It is not about what you want to do. It is about what you have to do. It is really about overcoming that resistance.
    • How would you approach building scary habits like public speaking or cold calling?
    If we pick cold calling for example, there are many negative emotions that can come over you. You have to do your best to overcome those negative emotions and to get out of your comfort zone. Only then, you will be able to achieve results.
    If we are feeling defeated and if we are feeling that we do not have the skills, that is the time when we are most likely to give up. The fear of failure can make us put things off.
    • Do you think that procrastination can be a good thing?
    There are many forms of delay. You can find many good reasons to postpone something for tomorrow, but if you want to be a really successful entrepreneur, you must not delay anything. You have to do the work that has to be done as soon as possible.
    Procrastination is when you know it is the time to act and you are not acting and the only reason why you are not acting is you. However, if you have a more important task that is a priority for you, then that is not procrastination.
    Procrastination cannot be a good thing. It is a negative form of delay. Most people are interested in decreasing procrastination, because it can contribute to our success only in a negative way.
    • Did you optimize your life to avoid procrastination?
    There are not perfect people in this world and there are times when even the best people procrastinate. But, the less we procrastinate, the better. You have to make your procrastination small exceptions in your life.
    Sometimes people procrastinate so much that they never even get back and do the work. Every day and every minute we should make ourselves do as much work as possible today and procrastinate as much less as possible because we are not going to feel more like it tomorrow.
    I have the most beautiful toolbox of anti – procrastination and I use it every day. There are many strategies that I use very carefully in order to be successful.
    • Do you plan out your days?
    My calendar is full of various activities that I have to do throughout the day. There are activities like exercise, research, teaching, administration.
    One of the most precious luxuries that we have in our lives is time and that is true to every person on this planet. That is the only resource you cannot get more of. You can make more money, but you cannot make more time. You have to be very careful how you use your time and you have to keep track of it.
