The 15 Steps to Success

According to the economics there is going to be another recession... soon. A fall in the economy, which means some of us are going to be laid of. Loose our jobs? OK PANIC ATTACK FOR EVERYBODY. SHIT. Do you know what hungry, stressed people are like? Fucking angry. Do you know what that means? A higher criminal rate... world wide. boom! That is the truth, and that is exactly what is going to happen when this recession shit drops, fucking hell, it is scary.
Are you ready for it? Shit, am I ready for it? How do I make the next move to get extra dollars in my pockets? How do I get to the next step to generate multiple incomes?

• Drug Trafficking?  
• Scams/Frauds?
• Another 9 to 5?

What are you going to do?
Some of us are fortunate enough to spend a whole mortgage fee on college tuition. The worst part about this is that a job is not guaranteed after 3 or 4 years of studying. The work place needs experience.. and more experience.. not just a degree BUT experience, degree/s, multilingualism and a bit of fitness expertise to be apart of the company's sports team. These companies need it all from you to guarantee a secured spot. Sometimes the spot is not even guaranteed because after 20 years you are fired and they say you were too "loyal". How Ironic? We all want financial freedom but how do we get to it?  This is how we split our finances, this is where our money goes:

• bills 
• fees
• taxes 
• miscellaneous expenses 
• savings
• investments
• retirement plans
• holidays
• emergency 
• fucking interest rates

Do you have the money?  Do you need that money? Shit, I know I do. Let me put this into figures. So that it is clearer. Money comes and it goes but we always  need it whether we have it or not.

The 15 Steps to Success

1. Your Mind is a GoldMind. As soon as you realise that you hold the power to your present and future in your brain then you start to think properly and wisely. "Walk with the wise and become wise or walk with a companion of fools{( and suffer harm)}/ and become a damn fool."  Proverbs 13:20. It depends on what YOU want in life.  
2. Ask for Help. "Ask and it shall be given, seek and ye shall find, knock an it shall open." Matthew 7:7. If you are stuck and you can not move forward ask someone who you can trust for help. Ask someone who is already doing what you would like to do for help. It is always good to ask for help but do not ask someone who cannot  even help themselves. Find yourself a trustworthy mentor who will help to guide you in the right direction. 
3. Do Not Waste Time/ No Procrastination. Change your lifestyle to be proactive and active. The best time to pursue your ideas is when they are fully desired in your mind. That is the best time to act.
4. Be Creative. Open your mind to new ventures that will help you make money and and try it. Fail it, once, twice, quadruplets of times. You will learn what not to do.
5. Read a Fucking Book. Educate yourself, Do not only depend on the educational system to help you. Read a book that will help you in the areas that you need to balance so that you can make it harmonious. Is it relationships, health, wealth, family, finance or mental health that you are struggling with? Read a book. "Formal education will make you a living, Self Education will make you a fortune." Jim Rohn. It is free to borrow a book from the library. Try it, sometimes. See if you like it.
6. Challenge yourself. Push yourself to the extreme, go crazy if you need to, just keep going. Do not worry about what anyone else is doing. "The race is not for the swift but who can endure it." Ecclesiastes 9:11. Challenge yourself then keep going. Fall 7 times and get back up 8. Just keep going, you will discover and explore your strengths and weaknesses. 
7. Know Yourself. What is it that you like to do and what are you great at doing it? How can you use that tool to get you some millions? Do you have ideas you want to execute? Try them. It does not matter what your friends or family are saying, what is important is what you are saying. I once heard a saying that the richest place in the world is the grave yard. Why? Because people are buried with the golden dreams that they never executed. Knowledge is power but the real power is applying knowledge.
8. There Is No Guilt In Success. Whether it is small or big. A victory is a victory. Celebrate yourself.
9. Disappointments Are Stepping Stones. I hate disappointments, I really do but when I am at my lowest, I can only go up. OK so you lost your job, you failed your exams, your relationship ended and it is not the time to give up but it is the time for a new opportunity. If something did not work then it is time to look somewhere new. Open a new door, let go of the past and move forward. Are you a doer or a dabbler? Do you take action and turn off distractions or do you find reasons why it is not going to work when you have not even tried, or you tried but it is not working so you gave up instead of trying a new method? Which are you?
10. Be Grateful. In order to have more than what you have today you need to be thankful to God and the universe for what you are blessed with it in this very moment. It is the only way you are going to receive more. 
11. Be a Wolf. Be aggressive, not passive. Be passionate. Be present. Be spontaneous. Be confident. Self your damn self even if you are full of shit. Impressions matter. DO your best to be presentable.  It is as simple as having clean fingernails, taking a shower, combing your hair, the way you walk, the way you smile, the pitch of your laugh, your eye contact, the way you sit and the way you hold a conversation. Your goals and your dreams are affecting your every move. How are you moving? Build confidence and strive for excellence. My advice is to try and be like the person you admire. I admire the fucking wolf of wall street. I want to be like that and I have only seen 10 minutes of the movie and based on what I have seen I like him. I like his confidence. I strive for it. 
12. Have Faith. Have faith in yourself. Just do it, whatever it is, be consistent and have faith. Rome was not built in a day right? I heard it is one of the most beautiful cities... and it was not built in a day. So do not think success comes over night. It is what you do towards your destination that matters, the destination is just another platform for another destination because we keep going, and then we die. But do not stay in one place. One job, one shitty friendship, one shitty relationship, one shitty house, one shitty life. Why are you living your life if you do not fucking like it? Whose life is it? Take control of it and change your mindset. 
13. Have a Vision With a Plan. A builder cannot build a house unless it is completed. It has to be completed in his mind, in his vision before he can put it on paper, then on the land. A ship without a destination is going to sail into nowhere but a ship with a destination is headed somewhere. So where are you going? Have you thought about that? Have you noticed that your life is a lot like the game chess? Have you ever played the game? Learn it. You have to be precise about your next move because it will determine your future in the game. Life is not a game, it is reality. Pinch yourself, you are going to feel it. So wake up and make better decisions that are going to benefit you, your family, your friends and your country in the next five years.
14. Cancel Distractions. Quit it. A new life means new habits, I know for sure I cannot have the life I want with the habits I had yesterday. How can we push ourselves to be more? Well it's easy. Just do it.. The end. Fucking do it and cancel laziness,distractions and doubts. If social media is your distraction, delete them, but not my damn blog! A person who is trying to quit smoking is not going to have a pack of cigarettes lying around the house so delete the damn apps, or the video games. Focus on your life.
15. Give back. For the sake of good karma, help those who are in need. Provide your service to them. Whether it is your time, finance, knowledge or skill. Hand someone else the baton so that when you are gone someone else may be able to give it back to the next generation. 

            

          What is Success?

1. Success is the worthy progression of a worthy cause. Earl Nightingale

• This means that success to everyone is different. What is success to you? Success is being a mechanic because you want to. Success is being a taxi driver because you want to. Success is being a salesperson because you want to. Success is being a baker because you want to. Success is being a housewife because you want to. Success is being lazy because you want to. Success is being broke because you want to.

     2. Success is doing what the failures won't do. Jim Rohn

• This means that you are going to do what others won't do to have what other's won't have. This definition of success is to be discipline, wake early and go to bed late because your drive and passion to succeed will not allow you to stop until you have "it" (success).
