I’m sure I coined these phases but I think I did. Go ahead and use them if you want.
“When they STOP LEARNING, they STOP WINNING!” – Dave Cook
“Life is like a puzzle, you just have to figure out what you want the picture to look like and then you have to go find the pieces” – Dave Cook
Now it’s not those deep. Great grammar, huh. Man, I’m on a roll. LOL
Seriously, Dawn always liked to read now, but couldn’t seem to do it for pleasure until the last few years. Now I strive for more knowledge and books are a great resource. You can even go to the library and get them on CD. These are great for when you’re in the car and guess what, you get smarter while driving.
Some time ago I read a book that I loved! It’s called Shut Up, Stop Whining and Get a Life, by Larry Winget. Larry is now known as the “Pitbull” of Personal Development and lives up to the title. One of the things that I found amazing in this book was this. According to the American Booksellers Association:
80% of Americans did not buy or read a book this year.
70% of American adults have not been to a bookstore in the last 5 years.
58% of American adults never read a book after high school.
42% of college graduates never read another book.
Can you believe it! WOW! I am still in awe as I write this.
Now here are some good examples from Larry’s writing. Well, are you ready?
* To make positive changes in your life, you must first have a negative attitude about your life.
* 3 reasons why people are unsuccessful. 1. They’re stupid 2. They’re lazy 3. They just don’t give a shit.
* If your life sucks it’s because you suck. (Don’t hold Larry! Lol)
* Knowledge is not power. It is the Implementation of Knowledge that is Power.
Come on Larry, tell us what you really think. Isn’t this guy cool? I love people who don’t make fun and tell it like it is. That’s why I like guys like Donald Trump, Gene Simons, and Howard Stern. These guys don’t care what people think of them at all. That is why they are SUCCESSFUL. ALPHA LEADERS like these guys don’t care what people think and that’s what attracts other people. They are true leaders and not followers.
Now let’s say you decide to join a Network Market business. What will your friends, family and co-workers think? WHO CARES!
Are they successful, have they ever taken risks in life? Are they earning or even have a chance to earn 6-7 figure income in a year? Do they hang out with millionaires? If not, why should you care what they think? We all have these people in our lives and they are nothing but DREAM CRUSHERS!
Will you do me a favor. Whatever you decide from this day on, do it for ONE PERSON only. Do it for yourself because if you can see it, you can do it. I know, that’s cheesy but it really works.
