There is a lot of things you can find in crypto space. You can earn money; you can lose money. You can watch and learn. For me, the crypto space is a good chance to do something with your life if You are self-reflective and you can learn from your mistakes.
Also, I am glad that I found a piece of wisdom I want to share with you here.
HEY!!!!!
Hello boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, my dear followers and internet wanderers. I have got thrilled to write this article its origins start in my private conversations with a few wise people.
This article intends to withdraw some wisdom from my buddies minds and offer this to you on a silver plate via this article. This article can be a little bit longer, and the style of the writing can be vaguer, but that should not be a point here anymore. If you are tired, take a break. If you can't concentrate anymore longer, consider to take a nap and come back here tomorrow. I think that someone of you can find himself in between these lines, somebody can find a long-lost motivation to change something in his/her life.
So without any more words go to Read the article, learn a lesson and enjoy your time with me.
With regards, Mickey
Manual to this article: You have to read this article from front to back and show your grace. After all, that is how literature works, right?
(unless it is instruction manual, in which case no one reads them at all)
I worked in construction for the past 15 years on a mobile crane. My wife and I have many failures in business and investing. In the GFC I lose $100K. We cried and were stress. However, we keep going. We start two times business that failed. However, we keep going. We dream that one day it will succeed. We have three kids, and sometimes we didn't know where we get money for bills and house payment. Our family and friends all go on holidays and buy new things, but we put all our money into business and investment. Sacrifice much. My wife nearly has a nervous breakdown from stress. Then One day our latest business start to be successful little by little. Our first big dream was for me to leave my job and do full-time business. We did this 12 months ago after many hard years. We build the business up, so we just manage it from the laptop. No need to be hands on. We take kids out of school and homeschool now and do all business from wifi and notebook...People say "you are lucky" and I say "yes, the harder I work the luckier I get!" People want what I have, but they don't want the sacrifice to get it.
My goal is to wake up happy every day. To impact the way the other people live and to inspire others. Nice car, a beautiful house I like, but there are more important things like family and legacy...
Oh, one more thing...Happy wife = happy life :D
I think this is the most important thing! How bad do you want to succeed? And then, why do you want to succeed? If you don't have a heavy, deep reason WHY then when times get tough (and they certainly will) you will give up.
For me, I hated the thought of living a mediocre life and wasting the opportunities I have around me. Life is too short to focus on failures and have regrets!
Two things. One is my family and children. I think about teaching them to believe in your dreams, work hard, never give up! But telling them with words only is not enough. I must show them with an example. Number two is, I want to live a life that impacts others in a positive way. YOU CANNOT TAKE MONEY WITH YOU WHEN YOU DIE Amen bro(Mickey edit)! The only thing you leave behind is what you did for other people.
Remember, being frustrated is GOOD! That means you will be motivated to change. It had to be comfortable with the mediocre life. If you study how a Pearl is made then we can see that it is because of something irritating like a grain of sand gets into an oyster. The oyster secretes a substance called Nacre which turns into a Pearl.
I don't have a dream business. I have a business that can make my dreams come true.
Don't always look for the perfect business but do what you're good at and use that to fulfill your real dreams.
If you sacrifice, work hard and never give up, you can achieve what you never thought possible.
YES! This is very true. Let me explain it with a quote: Noone has ever lived an easy life whose name is worth remembering. Nothing good comes with ease.
Yes. Because think about this. If you don't you won't be fulfilled anyway. Like I love to say “I would much rather failures than regrets”.
I ask myself one very important question: If I was sick and the doctor gave me 24 hours to live, would I wish I could change anything in my past?
If not then, that is the success to me!
The truth is that most people don't know where they want to be and for me, it's not about trying to find the perfect, exact things I should be doing but rather I should give 100% and my whole heart to what I can do right now. This will open up the path to other adventures that will be more satisfying.
Possible. I believe being thankful and grateful each day for what we have now will bring Joy and peace in our lives. This will also help to see clearly where we are and what we want for the future.
“Most people don’t fail in life because they aim too high and miss. They fail in life because they aim TOO LOW and HIT!..”
Aim high always.
The biggest change is the sense of freedom. Living life on your terms as much as you can. Also TIME. I have purchased time. How Do You Ask? Because instead of spending 50,60,70 hours a week doing something I hate away from my family, now I can spend more time at home.
Yes. Balance is very important. The world would not exist without balance! But remember this. “Laziness is resting before you are tired” lol You must check your heart to know you are doing all you can do but at the same time not burn yourself out or become busy just to be busy. This is not productive.
“The most important thing is not what you leave “FOR” your children but what you leave “IN” your children. Pass on wisdom, kindness, knowledge, tenacity, faith, belief, perseverance and money will come.
COFFEE most important! Lol and knock back a few coldies when you are as dry as a dead dingos donga? :) (mickey edit) Hahahahahaha. But also like to go to the gym and, if you can go early, go early. It's better.
I spent 2 years going to the gym before work at 5 AM 5 days a week. The heater broke on my car and I didn't fix it on purpose because I wanted to suffer and persevere every morning. Others make excuse why its cold and they can't go early but I wanted to overcome my comfort. Now I still go but I don't need to go so early lol.
As I said the gym, but for me also my faith and prayer are big for me. Meditating on positive things, motivating things. And read always. Try to read one book per month at least.
The most important thing you can invest in is YOUR BRAIN. Educate yourself. The mind is like a muscle, you can strengthen it and develop it. For me, I also first invest in a good index fund like s&p500 ETF and leave it for retirement. Diversify and don't put all your money/eggs in one basket.
I have seen a video of bitcoin on youtube and I went down the rabbit hole of learning.
They are both investments for me but they are very different which I like because its more diversification. Crypto is new, exciting and has big potential for growth. Stocks for me are the more steady long term.
Believe more, Start investing earlier much earlier. Save 10% of every dollar you earn even if you have to go hungry!!! Invest that money for retirement.
I went to the USA and traveled seen many amazing things. I love the USA mindset to Dream big believe BIG
The richest man in Babylon by far!
Nothing, the younger Rob is dumber than older Rob!
My top ten would be: Save, Plan, Invest, Trade, Do gym, Be grateful, Dream big, Have a day schedule, Set your goals, Do your maximum for reaching them, Don't be afraid of failing, Learn to improve your mood over a day, Live in the present moment, get a rid of false believe you are wearing like a backpack loaded with shit wherever you go and Support your family. Also, read Gorilla Mindset from Mike Cernovich and The Truth from Neil Strauss since they are the best book to read if you are still under the 30.
Ok ok, my dude. Here is my coda:
Rob`s top Ten:
Believe, believe, believe. If someone else can succeed you can too.
Meditate and focus on positive things. Stay positive and distance yourself from negativity. Avoid the news channels and newspapers!!!
Read, Read, Read. Invest in your brain. Read biographies of people who overcame incredible odds and succeeded.
Exercise regularly. 4-5 times a week. Eat unprocessed food and don't drink fizzy soda! To succeed you need energy and junk food weighs and slows you down.
Develop good relationships that are NOT TOXIC. Be around people that are positive and believe in you.
Dream big, write down your goals on paper. Long, medium and short-term goals and how you can achieve them.
BE GENEROUS! People who help others are happy. Give to those in need.
Save 10% of every dollar that ever comes into your life! Never ever spend it until later in life. Even if you live on bread and water DO NOT SPEND IT.
Invest regularly even if small amounts and Diversify your assets don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Probably most important of all. Find your purpose. I do not believe I'm am here by accident. We are created with purpose and destiny. Leave a Legacy, Leave an impact and leave this world better than you found it...
*Signing off Rob!*
My final words will be: Don't be afraid to try new things. Don't be scared of losing.
If you need to fail before you will hit your dreams, do it now, do it quick.
Ask your self: What I can achieve if I can push my fear away?
Everything that is worthy of something in your life lays out of your comfort zone, and dont forget that doubts are the biggest liar in your life.
Do your research, stay save, consult with others and then dart towards achieving your goals and focus on the positive aspects of your dream life.
Read books, learn your philosophy, but then go out there and practice it in real life with real people.
I want to thank you to Rob for his story and lot of good and wise notions.
That's all from me to you for today. Have a nice weekend and cya in a few weeks.
You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.
Go and see more stuff from my library!
