The Best Quote On Leadership And Risk Ever Written.

Uncategorized 4 Comments »

I wrote my last article on the theory of “gambling” and  how it drives the human race. I then saw my favorite quote EVER and thought it tied in nicely. Print it, put it somewhere you can see it, and live by it. Your life will never be the same.

” The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who never know neither victory or defeat.”

Theodore Rosevelt

“You Got To Know When To Hold Em. Know When To Fold Em.”

Yes, I do love Kenny Rogers. This is not about country music though. This is about the genetic predisposition that humans have to gamble. Did you just say “What did he just say?” You heard me correctly. All humans are gamblers and you should learn to embrace it. Let me prove it to you. We must credit everything you value in life to humans gambling. Ever since the first amoeba crawled out of the sludge looking for more food our race has been pushing the limits. Think about fire. Try and count all the deaths that have occurred from humans trying to control it.  Yet, it has affected food, health, travel, power, heat, and a million other things. What if we had just said “Man that is hot. Let’s leave that crap alone!”

The evolution of mankind has been determined by risk versus reward. People gambling something they cherish ( money, time, there life) in an effort to create something they desire. You think it was safe for Michelangelo to be painting so high in the Sistine Chapel? Maybe you forget about the Wright Brothers? You know, those guys that were 100 feet of the ground in something that they didn’t even know would fly?

Everything you see in your daily life, everything you see when you travel, everything you see on television (including the television) started from an idea. That idea had to be nurtured somehow. For ideas to come to fruition people must voice there idea and risk being ridiculed. People must risk there time chasing that dream. People must waste there money creating that vision. All the while gambling on the fact that this idea is a good one and will pay off.

I am a gambler and I appreciate all other human beings who embrace it.  It is because of those gamblers past, that I live the life I do today. If you want to truly live life then you must chase those wild reams you have. You must voice your genius plan. When you start to make this a daily habit you start to feel that rush that only creation can bring. 

Now that doesn’t mean you should be a degenerate. There is a difference between gambling to win and gambling to lose. Addicted gamblers are just looking for a way to self destruct. True gamblers are different. They study the odds. If they have enough facts to believe that  they can win then they do not hesitate to put there money on the table.

Every time.

Why The Internet Will Remain Unfazed By The Recession.

Everybody knows the world economy has taken a big dip. People are being laid off and institutions that were once thought to be untouchable are falling like flies. What most people do not understand is that the internet is still growing. There are, in fact, over 1.4 billion people who are currently on the net. Traffic to websites grew by 50%-100% in 2008. This happened during the worst economic year that anyone can remember.

Statistics show that over $200 billion was spent online in the U.S. last year.

So what does that mean to you? Simple. You need to learn internet marketing.

Think about it from this perspective: If you want to be wealthy (or even just secure) you have to be self-employed. Now your choices are 

1) Start a brick and morter business.

2) Start an internet business.

Have a look at any street USA. Seriously, go count how many people are walking around spending money. The streets are near dead. Now imagine opening a store that sells TVs or groceries or art supplies. Where are the customers? Now compare that to something like Google where you can access 1000 people per day in your niche almost overnight. It doesn’t even really seem fair. I personally only have one brick and morter business and it is because 2000 people per day are brought straight there from a cruise ship. All my other businesses are online because, frankly, that is where the money is.

So the question then becomes where do you start?

Well it depends on what you like.

If you want to create your own product I suggest Frank Kern.

If you want to market someone else’s product I would suggest www.mlmleadsystempro.com or www.therichjerk.com, maybe even Arbitrage Conspracy

If you are looking for  a full service education system with pre-built websites and a professional call center to help close your sales then I would suggest www.carboncopypro.com

At the end of the day I don’t care what you choose. Just choose something. My experience over the last five years have been nothing short of amazing. The people I have met, the places I have been, and obviously the money are out of this world.

To your success,
