Thought Hustle

Our personal standards determine our expectations in life

They determine the quality of your results and the overall quality of your life. If you have high aspirations and big goals, but low sets of standards, these mediocre standards will prevent you from achieving your aspirations and goals.

How do you raise your standards so your life can get better?

1.       In order to figure out what standards you have in your life, you need to be clear on what it is you want, and then you need to build your standards around that

2.       Once you identify your current standards, you can start to work towards the standards that you want in your life. How do you need to act, what standards must you set, to live a life of freedom joy and abundance?

rds, then define what you want and then figure out what standards you need to implement to be at the level you want to get to, there’s one final step… you must make a plan to execute those standards each and every day.

Here are the seven complaints and excuses that are destroying your life!

1. I don’t have the time – If there’s something you really want, you have the time to do it. This excuse, what you’re saying is, I don’t want to make the time. Unless you have totally eliminated social media and Netflix and you’re working 16 hours a day, non-stop, this isn’t true. MAKE THE TIME
2. When I’m older I’ll do that – Your belief that things will change or you’ll be more prepared when you’re older is misguided. Whatever it is that you want, start working towards it today. Your future self will thank you
3. I don’t have the discipline – Maybe you don’t but that’s because you keep telling yourself that and because you aren’t working on becoming more disciplined
4. I’m not feeling it today – Well, if you aren’t feeling it today, what on earth makes you think you’ll feel it tomorrow? Don’t wanna work out today? It’s gonna be the same thing tomorrow, just get up and do it!
5. People will make fun of me – Nobody cares, NOBODY! Just do it, go to the gym, nobody is going to call you out for not being in peak physical shape. As someone who goes to the gym, whenever I see someone who’s out of shape, my only thought is “good for them” because you’re doing what 90% of people are too scared to do. This goes for everything, across the board.
6. I don’t know how to do it – The weakest of the weak excuses. I didn’t know how to fix a hole in the wall, how to fix a sink, hot water radiators, a gas valve, none of it. But I bought a house and FIGURED IT OUT. So go learn, Youtube and Google are right there and they can teach you how to do ANYTHING!
7. I just don’t know if I would like it, well, maybe you wouldn’t but you should listen to my last episode on finding your passion. You have to try something before you can make that judgment.

I know, another podcast on how to find your passion. How to make sure you never work a day in your life blah blah blah.

I used to HATE the saying, find what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life. And, to be honest, I still don’t love that saying. Because it doesn’t get you anywhere. I know that I want to do what I love forever, of course, I do! Who doesn’t know that? Everyone knows that’s a fact. It doesn’t get you any closer to finding your passion, so what does?

Around this time I realized that if I wanted to find my passion, I had to find my strengths, so, I laid out my strengths. I like people and talking to people, I enjoyed helping others, I enjoyed creating and envisioning projects and great things. I enjoyed finances and money. And with this knowledge, I set out.

First, I tried investing, not for me. 

Then I tried to act as a car seller, then as an advertiser, a web designer, a recruiter, then a financial advisor. Each of these didn’t work for me, so after a month or so, I moved on. 

Because by now, I knew how to find your passion, you had to try new things, new things that might scare you. 

This is how you find your passion. Then, I decided to build a business, and Thought Hustle was born. And I love building this company. I found my passion, but I don’t plan to make money from this business for a while, as I am taking it slow, so while I nursed that passion, I continued to search for something that could bring me an income, as well as joy through the work.

Eventually, I landed on real estate, something that I love, and I bought a house, fixed it up, rented it out to a family for the first unit, and a friend to live with me. And I plan to grow that passion, buying more homes, while building and growing my business. These passions brought my strengths into play. Helping others, giving, managing finances, rent, and all the things I wanted to engage in on a daily basis.

4 Ways To Achieve Your Goals Your Way

1. Don’t get caught up in one methodology of starting your day or ending it. Try new things, try new routines and ways of achieving your goals. If you have the goal of working out every day or 5 times a week, you might try getting up early. Maybe that doesn’t work for you. Be flexible and don’t kill yourself attempting to do something in a manner that isn’t suited to you!
2. Don’t try one thing for a week and then give up. Habits take time to build up, so if you try something new, be sure you’re ready to stick to it. Stay faithful and try it for a minimum of 3 weeks before moving on. Don’t be wishy-washy.
3. Actually set goals for yourself. If your goal is to start a business and you are trying to do everything that a bodybuilder is doing to get there, then you’re looking in the wrong direction. Sure, the bodybuilder might also be building a business, but in most cases, if you imitate a body builder its because you want some semblance of the physique that they hold.
4. Fourth and finally, stay flexible. Some days your routine might not work out, some days, you’re going to fail. Even when you’ve been on a routine for months or years, days will come where you aren’t able to reach that goal and because you see that one person doing it consistently, you beat yourself up. Don’t do that, accept that you need to be better and work towards achieving what it is that you want in your life!

 There’s a book called Happy money by Elizabeth Dun and Michael Norton, it’s all about how money, a tool, can be used to bring you greater happiness.

So, what can money do to bring you more joy and others?

It’s been found, that the more people invest in others, the happier they are. The major prediction of happiness, it wasn’t the amount someone brought in, but the amount they gave out! Happiness could be seen trending in these studies, based on how much people gave to others. These studies did take into account, the difference in income. Giving money away, brought more joy, than making more money.

 Money should be used to benefit yourself and others. The scrooges of the world don’t get to enjoy lives of freedom joy and abundance, because they chain themselves to a sack of money. Freedom and joy come from giving, not getting.
