Business is MY Vehicle

What’s Yours ??

Listen, everyone in life has a passion, whether it be ballet, or baseball cards, health and wellness or writing blogs about Pokemon Go. And…

Through your passion you can always do good for yourself and for others. — Tweet This!

For me, my vehicle is business. And I push so hard, through my vehicle, which isn’t meditation, which isn’t health and wellness, which isn’t non-profit, it’s business. I can’t help it, it’s what I love! I love building businesses, I love competing with you, I want to beat you. I love that game. But through that vehicle I will always push a service to the world and an awareness of how good it really is to find your passion and pursue it. It’s going to be different for everyone and you’re more than welcome to tell me about how bad it is or why you can’t because of some circumstance or some problem, but it’s just not true. Because if anybody has ever done it, then you can too.

But let me define “if anybody has ever done it, then you can too” because some of you have heard me say this in the past but I want to go a little bit deeper. If you’re a winner and you want it so bad, instead of looking at the millions of people that have not made it and are suffering, look at the ones who have. Find the group of people, the hundreds or maybe thousands of individuals who look exactly like you that have won. I promise you they exist. If anyone has ever made it out of ‘the hood’ then you can to. This is exactly what I mean.

So please, stop making excuses, stop complaining, and find your vehicle. And remember, the market doesn’t care, but you should! Your parents and your friends might pretend they’re listening, but you have to ignore them and focus on you. How are you going to deploy your dreams, how are you going to manifest your destiny, what makes you happy?! These are simple questions.

The truth is that all you need to do is make one person happy; you. — Tweet This!

You have to do it for yourself and find your vehicle, then you can make everybody else happy. You know why I like making people happy? Because I’m already happy, and so I implore you to take this little rant and really look at your life and understand whether or not you’re doing the things that put you in a position to succeed — not just in business but in life. Because it’s super important, and boy, when you are happy in life, your fucking business can roll.

I’ve been trying to figure it out for you guys for the last seven, eight, ten years, trying to figure out the unlocks for EQ, IQ, self awareness, gratitude, and I really don’t know what they are, and you know why? Because there are 371 different unlocks. And I’m going to use all of them, and one day, it might hit you.

I might tell you that you’re lazy, and finally it comes with “Yeah it was hard work because I’m actually lazy!” Or “I talk a good game but I’m full of shit.” Or, it might be something else, like finding your passion, your vehicle and your unique mission.

Remember, one f*cking life! One life my friends and honestly, I’ll leave you with this, because a lot of you need it. How you make your money is 4 billion times more important than how much you make. Find your passion, then DO.
