10,000 failed attempts…
Would you keep going after number 10?
Most people wouldn’t.
I know this for a fact because of the number of clients that I have worked with over the years. I see this especially with people who want to lose weight.
It’s human nature to quit.
After only 2 weeks of being on a strict eating regimen and training program, most people will opt to quit after not seeing the miraculous results that they want.
It takes years of hard work and 100% total commitment; not weeks.
This is true for business and Life.
Thinking of starting your own business?
Be prepared for the biggest test of dedication, determination and discipline. It takes most small business startups two solid years to get up and running and pulling some profit.
So you want to work from home?
Let’s take internet marketing for example.
98% of people fail at internet marketing for one reason only: Because they QUIT!
After about 6 months of not making any money, most people throw in the towel. I’ll let you in on a BIG secret here. It takes a lot more than 6 months to make it happen.
It took me 2 years before I started making money online.
TWO YEARS!
That’s 2 years of working at something and NEVER getting a dime for my efforts. And I think of how many people quit after only 2 months…
Please, don’t expect anything out of Life until you put in the work.
I love the way Earn Nightingale summed this up in Lead the Field when he said:
It’s like telling the furnace: “First give me heat and then I’ll give you some wood.”
First you put in the work and then, AND ONLY THEN, you will see the results.
And when you don’t see the results that you anticipated overnight, or you have failed once again at your attempt, you must persevere.
Perseverance is what separates the people who make it to the top from the ones who don’t. It separates the challenger from the Champion.
There’s going to be struggles and adversity that you are going to face in your journey no matter what.
Obstacles are inevitable.
But it’s your ability to keep on going when the going gets tough that will ultimately get you to where you want to go.
How many times have you given up after failing to achieve your dreams?
Once?
Twice?
You must be willing to fail and keep on going 10,000 times or more if you are committed to achieving your goal, no matter what it is.
So the lesson is this: no matter how tough the going gets, THE TOUGH KEEP ON GOING.
Edison was tough.
And so is Trump.
Now the question is… Are you?
Be Unstoppable!
Yours in Success,

Right on Mathias!
Failure is nothing but a BIG opportunity for those who want to Achieve their goals and dreams in Life. Most people don’t really want “it” though. They’ll talk long and hard about what they want in Life but when it comes down to exerting the effort it takes to make it happen, they just aren’t willing to put in the time
Have a GREAT weekend!
Anthony.
Yes! I know alot of people who can speak for hours about what they really want, but non of them try to reach their dreams. Or some try, but when they hit the first obstical they give up!
Have a great weekend!
