Your emotional bank account is what forces you to quit.

Not your financial bank account. Seeking investment costs you nothing! Hell, most of the time bankers will end up buying you a free lunch. You must admit to yourself why you’re so f-cked up in the first place. In 99% of all cases for most men, it begins with their parents. Most men starting out in the business world only know one thing: What their parents taught them.

Let’s face it, parents procreate, and it’s one of the last things they’re actually prepared to do. Most of them don’t have a clue about how to churn out a high-performance kid. Of course, the exception being that you were raised by say, world-class Olympian athletes at the top of their food chain for example.

In the first seven to eight years of your life, your self-esteem is built. It’s the time in which you spend around your parents. Remember again, you are the result or average of the five people you spend most of your time with. That’s normally mom, dad, an older brother/sister, etc. Out of all of these people, none have any idea nor recipe nor knowledge for success.

Consider Babe Ruth’s quote, “It’s very tough to beat someone who never gives up.” Also remember, if you don’t love yourself, nobody is going to love you! You must be able to deal with the emotional unsteadiness of success.

You can accomplish anything with sacrifice.

Every man knows how to lose weight, yet, 60% of the United States is obese. Shocking right? How to lose weight is well-advertised, there are an endless number of writings on the subject. However, it’s still not enough, and in reality, it will never be enough. Because most men are not willing to pay the price of action or make the sacrifices! You know how to eat healthily and go to the gym goddammit.

There’s a reason the rich men of this world have more choices in life. It’s because they were willing to make MORE sacrifices EARLY on. In comparison, most guys today proclaim the same old sh-t, “I want to have a life”. Too many gentlemen have their priorities ass backwards.

Burn your ships.

As surprising as it is, thousands of men, every single fu-king day, try to get back with their ex. They don’t know how to make a clean break. Instead, they give them ties in which to get back into their life. Why is that?

They aren’t just desperate, they are relying on sh-t like backup plans, fail safes, plan B’s, etc. (They are afraid of being alone.) It doesn’t matter if you’re in the business world or the dating game, those things will destroy you! As Alexander the Great once said, equipping your mind to deal with ultimately overcome fear is the difference in battle.

Consider Caesar’s failed first invasion of Britain back in 54BC. Sure, he was disastrously defeated, however, his second invasion in 55BC would forever change the story. His plan the second time included burning the ships of his men. By doing so, he forced them to either succeed or ultimately die. There was no backup plan, there could be no retreat!

If you have things like a plan b in place, you’ve already built that kind of thinking into your subconscious. You will fail! You’re essentially telling yourself, “It’s okay to fail”. Failure must NEVER be an option. Remember, FEAR is false expectations appearing real. You must never be afraid of fear, nor the idea of embarrassing yourself. Neither of two ever stopped Caesar from claiming victory he believed to be rightfully his.

There’s only one way to grow as an individual.

You must step out of your comfort zone, and keep swinging until you hit a home run, every single day. You’ve got to start sticking your head out like a turtle.

Theodore Roosevelt once wrote a book on how to become fearless and courageous. Summed up, the point entailed creating drills and lists. It starts by naming one thing you are deathly afraid of doing, and you repeat the process every day. At the end of the day, you must accomplish it!

Do things that are beyond your wildest expectations. Set goals in life which you cannot possibly obtain in two or even three lifetimes. 10x your goals! You must constantly grow more and more ambitious. For example, it’s like the Hunchback of Notre Dame asking Marlin Monroe out on a date. It certainly is a big stretch to make. Ideally, you want to get stuck in courage and continually sucker yourself into being successful. Start seeing possibilities where others only see limitations.

Remember, that customers too, will continually raise the bar when it comes to their level of expectation. Keep up!

It's bloody hard, regardless of what happens to you in life.

It’s bloody hard, regardless of what happens to you in life.

Regardless if you’re a high-performance person or a dipsh-t, life is difficult for every man out there. What separates successful men from the failures is one thing: How you end up reacting to and interrupting what happens to you in life.

Truthfully, we all have issues. However, high-performance businessmen accept the issues, learn how to deal with them, and move forward right past them.

Fly Alone - such as" Eagles"

Do you want to have a life? 

Look at the high-performance businessmen of the world.
I’m talking about the Bransons, Zuckerbergs, Gates, and Trumps. 
They don’t go the Super Bowl or World Cup. 
They are not going to all the college football bowl games.
 If they did end up going, you can be certain they wouldn’t go with a group of persons.

When it comes to entrepreneurship, loneliness is a topic no one wants to talk about. The truth is, it’s very lonely at the top. However, that doesn’t mean you have to feel depressed about it. Gentlemen who truly love what they’re doing, are always high on life. They don’t need friends or drugs to feel good.

In other words, show me your friends, and I’ll show you your future. You can’t be a high-performance business hanging around with a bunch of losers and bums. You ARE the result of the five people you spend the most time around with. For most men, that includes mom, dad, a brother or sister, and a close friend.

If you go to the bar every night to watch the game, belch, fart and down a pint of beer with friends, I guarantee you will be doing that for the rest of your life. Time is the MOST valuable thing a man can spend in his life. Why in the world are you wasting it? Most men think they have plenty of it, the reality is, and that’s just not true.

Face reality, there is no work – life – balance!

There’s only work – life – choices. All of which have consequences. Birthdays, holidays anniversaries, etc. are for poor people.

Men who refuse to believe that, are riddled with excuses. It starts with the younger gentlemen saying things like, “Yeah, I’ll get it done… If I don’t have a hangover, if I’m not loaded up on drugs, only if it’s between my tennis and golf lessons.”

Then it progresses to men with families, who have grown into their years. Their excuses shift to things like, “Unless I have to take my son to the dentist.” “Unless I have to take my family to counseling.”

But by far, the biggest excuse of them all: “I want to have a life”.

Only the Rich and Ruthless know

                          "To the poor man, a rich man is lucky.
                            To the rich man, a poor man is lazy."

 Yet, universally, 
                           every man shares on key thing in common: It’s called life.

What you choose to do with it is entirely your own decision to make.

If a man offered you one-hundred thousand dollars for you leg, would you take it?

For most men, the answer is:

 Probably, yeah, well…

 Why, who’s paying and when can we do this?

!Would you sell your arm for another one-thousand dollars?

How about your eye, your other leg, or your other arm and so on…Tally up your entire body, and you’ll reach a million dollars or more.

Perhaps this is the first time you’ve realized you’re a millionaire without ever knowing it.

Needless to say, life is valuable, yet, it is an unfortunate shame that so many men today, waste it all away.

Things like luck or even intelligence play no role in success, though many gentlemen still believe into the fallacy wholeheartedly. You certainly don’t have to born with a silver spoon in your mouth, or have a lot of “connections” either, as they always like to say.

The truth is, if you want to know how to be a super successful businessman in this world, all that is required of you, is to be breathing!

HOW TO HIRE YOUR FIRST EMPLOYEE

The first questions start-ups typically wrestle with are whom to hire, when and where to find good candidates. The following is a rundown of some basics.

What position to fill first will differ for each company, depending on industry, location and the skills of the founders. Entrepreneurs must boil down their staffing plan to a handful of people who can get the company’s product or service to market. High-level executives aren’t usually hired until the company has seen some significant growth. For example,
