How to set your motivation ablaze

Every person on the planet is 99% oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus.

So, why do so few of us succeed and so many fail?

Is it your parents fault? No.

Are you unlucky? No.

Do you need a ‘killer’ idea? No.

A few years ago, my friend Sam moved to San Francisco with his dog Sydney, a book bag and something to prove. Since then, he’s started, bootstrapped and exited a company.

Yesterday, his Hustlecon event blew the doors off the Brava Theatre. Sam orchestrated a cast of successful entrepreneurs and they shared stories of failure and success with a 400-strong audience.

There’s one downside to any conference. The excitement wears off. The stories fade. Your fire dims to a flicker.

Taking action is the only thing that will motivate you.

It’s that simple.

Sam, his panel and successful entrepreneurs rely on their 1%. You should too.

Take action or be average. It’s your choice.
