Hi everyone
I want to share some thoughts with you, this is the first one. I will also share my great progress because of TMLF in 2016 in another thread.
So, I realized that "entrepreneurship", "work hard", "blabla motivation bla, work bla, success bla" is something like a trend. No really, look up the subject entrepreneurship in google trends from 2004 to now and you will see what I mean. There are even 14-16 year old KIDS who want to tell you how to get successfull and live a life in freedom etc. So many of the gurus who know so much about success and business and money an blablabla never had a business themselves, in spite of talking the whole day. Everybody is becoming a motivation coach and entrepreneur!
As I think of this, I have the fear that I'm only in a trend and soon it will go down and everybody including me will see that it doesn't work. That would be a really shitty situation because I'm working my a$$ off. There are so many people who know all the wisdom like "do something today that nobody does to have the things tomorrow that nobody has" but they don't do shit except of talking. That's quite frustrating being part of this "movement".
Than I think of the sick-successfull people like Bill Gates etc.: Why don't they ever say those things? Why don't they ever say you can do it too, you have to work on your mindset you have to work hard and so forth?
Sometimes I think they only made it because they were geniuses. Sure they worked hard, but could some normal guy like me do something like them? I doubt it..
Did you heard of somebody who became rich and said: Yeah I read all the "start-up"-books, listened to all the motivators, worked hard an then I became rich?
I'm really not trying to say that it isn't worth it to work. I still got up at 5am today and I do it every day so that I can read and work a little bit. I still work, read and train my a$$ off. Because even if I'll never get rich, it was totally worth it and much much better than wasting my time drinking alcohol in nightclubs and watching TV. I also wan't to mention that this Forum and MJ surely are not one of the many Gurus out there because here are real people with real businesses, maybe not all but many. I just want to hear what you guys think about this; Is this only a movement, something like the "attraction, think of it and it will become reality" trend?
