And here is a quote from MJ on the topic of the work portion of going "All In".
"I moved to AZ with $900 and a car that didn't have a functional transmission. I shacked up in a studio apartment. I was willing to wash dishes, flip burgers, and drive cabs. I didn't care."
So, "All In" does not necessarily mean shutting down your income stream.
I went completely in when my living expenses were being supported by my business. It took me 2 years from the time I started but it was a worthwhile wait in my circumstance. That was 18 years ago though and I have not had a job since.
Well, not completely true.... I worked for a commercial real estate company once as a part time leasing agent for retail properties. Only to learn the business though...
Agreed.
My definition of "going all in" doesn't mean you quit your job, kick out your girlfriend, get a divorce, sacrifice everything for a business.
Here is the simple definition of "going all in" -- even if you have kids, a marriage, are single, have a full-time job, whatever your circumstances are it's all the same. In fact doing some of those things are completely reckless -- so don't confuse "going all in" for chucking it all and selling everything and moving into a 500-sq ft apt. in the Philippines for "going all in".
What it means is having the discipline and laser focus on a goal. This one goal. This "one thing" is what you'll dedicate all of your time to outside of your current responsibilities. It means other than the basics of either taking care of your children (if you have them), your wife (if you have one), your dog (if you have one), your rent payment (if you have one), you water bill (if you have one), and someone ponying up the money for Ramen noodles.
Outside of that YOUR FOCUS is this ONE GOAL. The rest of your time is committed to that, not partying, not chasing tail, not going to dinner with your friends, not watching TV, not playing video games, anything outside of your basic responsibilities you use your time to focus on this goal.
That is going all in.
