Quit trying to save people who are content with their bad habits.

No matter how hard you try...

You aren't going to change or "rescue" them.

...and it's not your job to do so either.

By doing this, you're only wasting your own time and energy … and making it harder to fight your own battles.

One of the best habits you can develop in order to become successful in business and life is picking up a book...

Reading the book...

Absorbing the lessons...

...and applying those lessons.

In fact, if I were to credit my own success in business and life to anything...

It would be reading.

A lot of people look at anyone who's successful and automatically assume they are "lucky" or that their success materialized overnight.

Then society and the media reinforces these beliefs...

Lottery winners, reality TV, viral videos, you name it ... it's everywhere.

But here's what they don't show you...

They don't show you the truth of what it actually takes.

Talent may put you in the game...

Talent may help you secure a few wins...

Talent may give you a temporary lead...

But if you only rely on talent alone…

There is a 0% chance you will win big long-term.

You may think you can...

But I assure you ... you won't even come close.

You're going to feel a lot of uncertainty...

Especially in the beginning.

When I first got started in business back in 1999, I didn't know anything.

I didn't know how to hire employees...

I didn't know how to manage expenses...

I didn't know how to interact with customers...

I didn't even know how to get more customers...

I didn’t even really know anything about the products we were selling…

f you truly want to make a change in the world...

You have to live a life that is a direct reflection of the way you believe things should be.

There's no doubt that society needs a lot of work...

Especially now...

But we've overcome before … and we'll overcome again.

Serve. Help. PUT OTHERS FIRST. Stop asking what can I get...and start asking what can I give. Basic shit right? When you ask 99.99% of people on earth: What is the purpose of being in business? They will answer: to make money.

Recently I was standing in line to check into a very nice hotel. In front of me in line was a very attractive woman in early 30s. There was a man in front of her at the counter so she was second in line and I was third in line. I observed the woman. She was very put together. Clearly worked out and took care of herself. She was dressed very nice. She had beautiful perfect black hair. She was tan. She wore a Birkin bag. Had Louboutin shoes.

This Is The Key... Not only for making money but for living a full, strong, meaningful & satisfying life. You want to change something about yourself RIGHT NOW, THIS VERY MINUTE, with no special education, certification or extended amount of time that will put you ahead of 99.99% of the people you work with or companies you compete against. Own problems. Solve problems. Not just "your own"...ALL OF THEM.

There are nearly 8 billion people on planet Earth.

Not everyone is going to like you...

It's impossible.

In fact, most people don't even like themselves.

How are they gonna like you when they don’t even like themselves?

Their “like” of you is irrelevant if you live the right way long term.

The sooner you can come to terms with this...

The sooner you can quit worrying about what other people think about you.

It’s legitimately irrelevant.
