I have alot of friends and family members ask me why I’m willing to take so many risks in life… I usually just shrug my shoulders and ignore the question. But I’ve noticed they act like I’m doing something wrong?
Then I realize: I’m not normal… most people I know do work “normal jobs” and live “normal lives”… they wake up early, go to work, come home to eat spend a few hours with their loved ones (or not in most cases), go to sleep and next day it’s the same thing. I never understood that life and I guess I never will… I’m not saying it’s wrong or I don’t agree with it. I guess I just don’t understand it…
That’s the problem with my life and so many others… people just don’t understand. Most programmers I know work for themselves or own their own Companies that allow them to work from home. Some try it but eventually fail and have to go back to a “normal job” again. They just never understood. Then they took the “risk” and found out it was “just as crazy as they figured it would be”.
I guess it’s like Bungy Jumping. Most people realize that it’s not dangerous - but some have died from it. It’s probably 1 in a 100 Million but the word usually spreads like wildfire and it becomes “crazy” or “risky” to do. Understanding something you’ve never tried wouldn’t make sense in most cases so “normal people” hear about how their “normal friend” lost their home, car and loved ones when they tried to start up their own Business. Well, it’s not for everyone… much like “normal jobs”. I’ve never liked Authority and I’ve always liked working at my own pace because I know quality is what I’ve always been about…
“Normal jobs” push Quantity and while some people can pump out Quality products in less time than others - some people enjoy taking the time to do it and live a little more blissfully. So before you go out and tell people their Risky or Crazy - think about life in general and understand that just because you feel YOU couldn’t make it doesn’t mean someone else couldn’t accomplish their goals. We all have our opinions but they’re just that: Opinions.
You’d be amazed at how many people tell me that there’s no money Online… it’s all a big Scam to sell products, etc, etc. Well… yes and no. There’s just some people that take enough risks and enough time to figure out how to really make money and others who don’t. Some people see the pot of gold at the end of the Rainbow even if it’s just a myth… on their journey they might stub their toes against a huge gold mine while on their way to look for the Pot of Gold. Others believe that there’s no way in hell you’d ever find gold anywhere.
Some people believe there’s no way you could ever win the Lottery… no way you could ever see lightning strike twice, etc, etc. Some people just don’t believe and some people want to believe because it makes them happy. Everybody is different and you would be very surprised to see how many people were told “they could never do it” and went out and done it.
There’s a champion in everybody but your opinions could bring those people down, along with their dreams. Stop and think before you speak… lots and LOTS of famous Athletes, Businessmen and other “Famous people” were told they couldn’t do something in life and came out WAY on top. Yes, WAY on top
If you’re like me and you have these negative people in your life - walk away and forget about it. Try staying away from these people and continue to push yourself to succeed. When the time comes - even if it’s 10 years from that time… have a little class before you pull up in your Benz or Ferrari, K?
Really, though… you should never base your Goals on too many financial items. While they’re great to accomplish - they’re not the best goals to have if they’re set too high. So set your goals accordingly over years, if possible. Try not to limit your goals to monetary items either. Push yourself towards Healthy goals and you will come out ahead.
I’ll see you at the top!
