Introduction
When
I
first
set
out
to
write
this
book,
I
didn’t
know
what
I
was
going
to
write
about;
I
had
no
plan
or
blueprint
for
chapters
that
I
would
do;
just
straight
balls
to
the
walls
determination
that
I
was
going
to
put
together
something
that
would
be
epic.
Something
that
would
open
the
eyes
of
so
many
that
are
completely
blind
to
the
fact
that
they
are
blind.
Now
you
have
to
realize
that
I’m
speaking
metaphorically.
They’re
blind
mentally;
blind
to
the
fact
that
they’re
living
a
lie.
Life
as
we
know
it
is
filled
with
lots
of
lies
and
it’s
not
until
we
meet
certain
people,
listen
to
or
read
certain
literature
or
come
across
a
book
like
this,
that
our
eyes
are
truly
open.
I
chose
the
topic
of
success
because
there
are
so
many
people
running
around
thinking
that
success
means
one
thing
or
“that”.
Well
I’m
here
to
tell
you
that
“that”
is
crap;
the
purest
grade
of
crap.
You
could
literally
grow
a
whole
field
of
tomatoes
with
just
a
handful
of
what
people
think
success
is
these
days.
Now
if
you’re
wondering
who
I
am
and
why
the
heck
you
should
listen
to
me,
that’s
coming
next.
I’m
going
to
fill
you
in
on
a
little
secret
about
success
that
no
one
is
telling
people
these
days.

Take
a
ride
with
me
on
the
road
to
success
as
we
explore
the
best
route
to
TRUE
SUCCESS
and
how
to
get
there
without
all
the
unnecessary
stops
in
the
middle.
Just
so
you
know,
I’m
going
to
be
asking
questions
that
are
going
to
hit
you
like
a
punch
from
Mike
Tyson
(when
he
was
young).
When
I
ask
them,
you
need
to
go
into
deep
thought
and
analyze
your
life
because
that’s
the
only
way
you’re
gong
to
make
it
where
you
need
to
be.
Ready?
Hold
on
because
this
can
be
a
bumpy
ride…
No
one
said
it
would
be
easy!!
**Quick
Warning**
This
book
is
NOT
for
those:
v That
are
completely
happy
with
working
for
the
“man”.
v That
think
a
guaranteed
paycheck
is
the
only
&
best
way
v That
feel
a
401k
is
the
best
thing
since
sliced
bread
v Who
think
anyone
who
would
want
to
go
into
business
for
themselves
are
crazy.
I’m
not
telling
you
can’t
read
my
book.
I
would
never
deny
anyone
this
one
of
kind
information.
Just
saying
that
people
with
that
kind
of
thinking,

times
out
of

Who
The
Heck
is
Dennis
Marshall
&
why
should
I
listen
to
him?
I’m
sure
that’s
what
some
are
saying
so
if
you
don’t
know
me,
my
name
is
Dennis
Marshall,
better
known
as
Mr.
Dennis
Knows.
Yea
I
pretty
much
think
I’m
the
coolest
dude
walking
the
face
of
this
earth
but
I’ll
give
you
some
say
so
in
that.
For
the
record,
I’m
a
Pro
blogger,
internet
marketer
and
I
dabble
in
other
ventures
that
make
money.
I’m
a
guy
that
walked
through
life
wearing
those
same
shoes
that
most
are
wearing.
I
wore
them
proudly
for
a
while.
Got
me
a
good
job,
or
so
I
thought,
and
began
my
quest
to
obtain
the
American
Dream.
Little
did
I
know,
the
American
Dream
is
a
total
nightmare
to
most
and
trying
to
get
this
dream
involves
a
lot
less
slumber
than
most
would
like
to
have.

See
I
worked
a
few
jobs,
going
from
one
to
the
next.
I
was
getting
better
pay
as
I
moved
on
each
time,
so
in
my
mind,
I
was
moving
up
in
this
elevator
of
life.
Was
I
really
moving
up?
If
I
weren’t
trying
to
clean
up
my
language,
I
would
curse
here.
I’m
going
to
keep
it
clean
with
a
big
fat
HECK
NO!
After
going
from
job
to
job
a
total
of
5
times,
I
started
to
realize
something.
I
would
be
extremely
happy
that
I
had
a
new
job.
I’m
talking
about
leaving
work
with
a
smile
so
big,
you’d
think
I
was
a
fat
kid
trapped
in
a
bakery.
I
would
get
home
after
a
long
day
of
work
and
do
nothing
productive.
Just
finish
out
my
day,
go
to
sleep
and
do
it
over
again.
Almost
every
time
after
5-­‐7
months,
I
would
get
into
it
with
my
superiors
because
I’m
smarter
than
them.
Okay
that’s
a
bold
statement
but
it’s
true.
Long
story
short
(because
I
could
bore
you
for
hours),
I
would
start
looking
for
a
new
job
around
this
time.

Well
the
last
and
final
time
was
when
the
shoes
that
95%
of
the
world
is
so
comfortable
wearing,
started
to
feel
a
little
tight.
No
one
wanted
to
hire
me.
I
was
black
listed
at
my
job
(a
huge
hospital)
to
the
point
where
I
couldn’t
switch
positions.
It
felt
like
a
low
budget
porn
movie…
get
it.
Couldn’t
switch
positions…
I
thought
it
was
funny.
Anyways….
What
was
I
to
do?
No
one
would
hire
me
and
I
couldn’t
change
departments.
I
had
worked
for
7+
years
making
money
and
buying
things
that
were
absolutely
useless.
I
was
on
my
way
to
success
right?
I
had
money,
women,
a
car,
clothes,
my
own
crib
(that’s
house
for
those
that
don’t
know)
and
did
I
say
women?
I
had
everything
that
I
thought
would
take
me
to
being
successful;
and
my
main
vehicle
to
this
false
since
of
success
was
about
to
be
stripped
from
me.
What
happened
next
is
what
has
happened
to
well
over
16%
of
Americans
(not
9%
like
they’d
like
you
to
believe).

You’re
Fired!!
Do
you
remember
those
shoes
that
weren’t
fitting
too
well?
Well
they
got
so
tight
that
I
had
to
take
them
off.
I
could
no
longer
be
a
slave
on
this
modern
day
plantation.
After
reading
a
book
called
Rich
Dad,
Poor
Dad
(You
must
read
it),
I
started
slacking
at
work
and
looking
for
opportunities
to
be
an
entrepreneur.
Once
you
read
a
book
like
that,
you
look
at
things
like
work
as
if
you’re
allergic
to
it;
and
you
will
be.
Forget
making
someone
else
millions.
I
would
rather
make
myself
millions
by
applying
my
newfound
knowledge
and
using
the
most
important
asset
we
as
human
beings
have.
I’ll
tell
you
about
that
a
little
later.
The
day
they
fired
me
was
the
happiest
day
of
my
life.
Well
the
day
I
was
typing
this
book
was
a
pretty
good
one
too.
I
had
money
in
the
bank,
money
at
home,
money
on
the
way

money
to
be
made
but
more
importantly,
no
one
to
tell
me
what
to
do.
It
was
pure
freedom
and
power.
Take
this
example….
Would
you
rather
work
10
hours
a
day,
4
days
a
week,
with
occasional
overtime,
at
a
“secure”
job
and
bring
home
a
guaranteed
$1500
a
month
or
would
you
rather
be
unemployed
in
the
worst
economy
in
history
bringing
home
a
guaranteed
$250
a
week
while
not
having
to
answer
to
anyone
and
having
the
whole
day
to
do
as
you
please?
That
2nd
one
sounds
harsh
when
say
it
like
that
huh?
Have
you
heard
the
saying
“change
your
thoughts
and
change
your
life”?
Well
let
me
change
your
thoughts
a
bit.
Let’s
look
at
that
2nd
option
like
this:
Be
unemployed
in
the
worst
job
market
in
history
while
bringing
home
a
guaranteed
$1000
a
month
and
having
all
the
time
in
the
world
to
brain
storm,
network
&
put
together
a
entrepreneurial
business
plan
that,
if
done
right,
can
definitely
account
for
that
$500
or
more
in
income
that
you’re
missing
out
on
each
month.
Not
to
mention,
you’re
not
slaving
away
on
someone
else’s
payroll
working
days
and
nights
to
make
their
“American
Dream”
a
success.
Okay
before
you
whip
out
the
old
tongue
and
start
cursing
me,
I
am
not
telling
anyone
to
quit
their
job
or
tell
their
boss
to
shove
it.

See
I
was
bombarded
with
negativity
at
my
job
and
because
I
think
different,
I
was
blacklisted.
This
eventually
led
me
to
realize
that
either
I
would
be
fired
or
I
would
have
to
quite
before
I
ended
up
in
jail
for
killing
someone.
Trust
me;
it
was
that
bad.
Before
I
got
fired,
I
had
a
website,
some
knowledge
about
making
money
online
and
I
had
just
started
flipping
houses.
I
remember
being
pissed
off
because
my
job
was
getting
in
the
way
of
me
succeeding
at
these
ventures.
I
didn’t
have
TIME
to
invest
like
I
wanted.
I
figured
after
being
fired,
I
would
be
able
to
focus
100%
on
these
definite
moneymakers
and
eventually
replace
what
I
was
making
at
my
job
with
earnings
from
my
entrepreneurial
journey.
So
as
you
can
see,
I
would
dive
head
first
into
option
number
2.
I
would
choose
the
path
least
traveled;
walk
on
glass
without
shoes;
jump
out
of
the
plane
with
no
parachute.
Okay
maybe
those
are
a
little
much
but
I
would
take
a
chance.
That’s
what
I’m
getting
at
and
in
doing
that,
I
gain
the
single
most
important
ASSET
we
have
available
to
us
as
human
beings.

Do
you
have
the
TIME?
I
bet
you’re
like
finally
this
guy
spills
the
beans.
Have
you
ever
been
in
a
situation
where
you
wanted
to
do
something
but
you
either
couldn’t
or
had
to
cut
it
short
because
you
had
to
go
to
work?
Of
course
you
have.
I
remember
a
friend
called
and
told
me
(right
before
he
chose
option
2)
that
he
had
just
called
into
work
because
he
had
found
a
quick
way
to
make
300
bucks.
He
was
using
that
good
ol’
thinking
cap.
Why
go
work
for
8
hours
and
make
a
maximum
of
$70
or
$80
when
you
can
use
your
time
to
make
$300?
Well
he
dreadfully
decided
to
go
to
work
but
he
went
in
late
and
boy
was
he
happy.
He
had
made
a
weeks
pay
in
a
few
hours.
That
kept
him
going
the
whole
night.

What
I’m
getting
at
is,
are
you
being
held
back
from
your
true
potential?
Is
your
job
quite
possibly
getting
in
the
way
of
your
true
success?
It
was
for
me,
it
was
for
him,
another
friend
of
mines,
my
mentor…
I
could
go
on
for
hours
about
some
of
the
people
I
know
that
figured
this
out
but
once
they
realized
that
TIME
is
the
single
most
valuable
asset
we
have
available
to
us
on
this
earth,
their
lives
changed
drastically.
A
great
friend
of
mine
named
Sandy
C,
once
said,
“you
can’t
manage
what
you
can’t
control”.
My
friend,
if
you’re
working
8
hours
a
day,
5
days
a
week,
you’re
not
in
control.
On
top
of
that,
you’re
going
to
be
sleep
5
–
8
hours
a
day
so
that’s
close
to
16
hours
out
of
a
24
hour
day
gone
every
single
day
with
close
to
half
going
to
whoever
is
in
control
of
your
TIME.
It’s
a
shame
that
on
days
off,
which
are
usually
strategically
placed
apart
for
whatever
reasons,
people
are
so
exhausted
from
constantly
being
on
the
go
and
working,
they
use
them
for
rest.

This
is
a
cycle
known
as
the
“rat
race”.
We
call
it
the
matrix,
the
trap
and
anything
else
that
describes
being
trapped
in
a
never-­‐

cycle.
They

v Better

v Vacation

v Income
Tax
returns
v 401k’s
And
once
you
take

your
officially

A

now
controls
your
time.
Once

about

me
on
a
stage
so
why
is
it
that
I
go
around
talking
on
my
iPhone
with
a
walk
like
I
hit
the
lottery
3
times
and
usually
a
smile
that
would
get
me
a
Colgate
endorsement
deal?
Because
I
am
successful,
but
by
my
own
definition;
emphasis
on
MY.
The
crazy
thing
is,
I
was
successful
the
day
I
got
fired
or
at
least
I
felt
like
I
was;
and
you
can
be
also.
That’s
the
whole
purpose
of
this
book;
to
open
minds
up
to
realize
what
the
true
definition
of
success
is.
What’s
the
definition
of
success?
I
ask
this
and
from
what
I
hear
9
times
out
of
10,
9
people
need
to
be
completely
brainwashed;
and
for
those
that
are
thinking
brainwashing
is
not
a
good
thing,
it
doesn’t
always
have
to
be
bad.
A
lot
of
people
reading
this
book
have
been
brainwashed
to
think
what
I’m
saying
is
wrong.
I
was
told
I
was
crazy
for
not
working
a
regular
job.
Friends
stop
associating
with
me.
I
don’t
know
if
it’s
because
they
thought
I
was
crazy
or
because
they
got
sick
of
my
different
posts
online
about
how
I
was
making
more
money
and
still
unemployed.

Chapter
4
Your
definition
of
success
is
wrong
and
here’s
why
All
our
lives
&
a
whole
lot
lately,
we’ve
been
brainwashed
to
look
at
having
material
possessions
as
being
successful.
Someone
that
has
a
nice
car
with
rims
is
“balling”
according
to
this
new
generation.
What
many
fail
to
realize
is
that
a
lot
of
those
people
are
successful
physically,
but
mentally,
they
are
tied
down
and
a
lot
of
the
times
on
an
emotional
rollercoaster.
They
are
regular
people
just
like
you
and
I
and
they
deal
with
life
just
like
we
do.
Now
I
know
some
people
are
like,
who
cares?
Their
life
is
their
life.
Just
give
me
the
money
and
the
cars.
Material
stuff
is
great.
Don’t
get
the
impression
that
I
would
turn
down
a
brand
new
Beamer
just
because
I’m
not
all
into
material
possessions.
I
would
take
it

like

the
difference
is
I’m
going
to
be
driving
to
live,
NOT
living
to
drive.
The
cars,
money
and
all
the
other
things
are
just
pieces
and
parts
of
what
comes
with
being
successful.
They
don’t
define
success.
The
absolute
true
definition
of
success
is
that
it
has
no
definition.
It
just
has
many
standards
making
it
a
way
of
life;
and
that
way
of
life
is
happiness.
Success
should
be
and
is
a
measure
of
how
happy
you
are.
Not
by
how
much
money
you
have
or
can
get.
This
is
why
I
keep
drilling
in
people’s
head
that
I’m
not
telling
you
to
quit
your
job.
I’m
simply
telling
you
to
find
happiness.
Everyone
is
not
made
to
do
this
or
that.
Just
like
I
wasn’t
made
to
work
a
job,
everyone
isn’t
made
to
be
a
airplane
pilot.
Best
example
is
a
janitor
that
has
been
cleaning
the
same
floors
for
the
last
30
years
for
minimum
wage.
To
many
people,
this
may
be
a
completely
unwanted
job
but
if
he
is
truly
happy
with
what
he’s
doing
then
he’s
more
successful
than
a
group
of
rich
businessmen
that
are
scared
to
be
themselves
because
of
fear
of
ridicule

their
peers.
I
wish
I
knew
this
at
the
age
of
18.
I
would
have
saved
thousands
of
dollars
that
I
wasted
trying
to
be
successful
like
rappers
I
saw
on
a
daily
basis.
I
would
probably
be
a
millionaire
right
now
but
everything
happens
for
a
reason.

Change
your
thoughts
&
change
your
life
This
is
probably
one
of
the
biggest
changes
I
went
through
on
my
road
to
success.
I
remember
having
thoughts
that
do
mentally
to
your
brain,
what
cancer
does
to
it
physically.
I
would
tell
people….
Are
you
ready
for
this?
“I
hope
for
the
best
and
expect
the
worse”
Oh
my
goodness!
Just
thinking
back
on
that
kind
of
thinking,
I
thank
God
I
made
it
to
where
I’m
at
today.
That’s
like
praying
and
asking
for
something
and
just
knowing
that
God
won’t
answer
your
prayers.
Not
to
force
my
beliefs
on
you
but
that’s
how
I
roll.
Whatever
or
whoever
you
believe
in,
you
still
won’t
make
it
far
if
you
plan
to
fail.
Another
example
was
when
I
took
massage
class.

It
was
a
very
promising
field
until
I
found
out
that
I
didn’t
have
a
choice
whether
I
could
massage
men
or
not.
One
of
the
worst
experiences
of
my
life…
Ok
I
was
helping
people
but
that’s
not
the
point.
Not
trying
to
brag,
but
let
me
just
throw
in
there
that
I
was
absolutely
amazing
with
my
hands.
I
could
massage
someone
into
a
coma
with
a
side
effect
of
slob
on
the
pillow.
This
got
me
all
the
way
through
school
but
the
whole
time
I
was
worried
about
that
dreaded
state
test
that
was
coming
faster
than
a
pass
from
Bret
Favre.
My
mindset
was
if
I
failed
it,
I
wasn’t
taking
it
again.
I
couldn’t
take
it
again.
After
telling
myself
that
over
and
over
again,
I
failed
that
test
by
8
questions.
Time
to
go
back
and
take
it
again
right?
It
was
only
8
questions.
Wrong.
Remember
that
Kevin
Costner
movie
“Field
of
Dreams”
where
someone
in
the
field
whispered,
“if
you
build
it,
he
will
come”?
Well
the
same
thing
applies
to
your
mind.
If
you
think
it,
it
will
happen;
especially
the
bad
stuff.
My
life
played
out
just
like
it
did
in
my
head.

I
failed
that
test
and
never
took
it
again.
Only
bad
thing
is
my
mind
let
me
down
in
planning
what
I
would
do
next.
As
you
know,
8
questions
and
a
cancerous
thought
process
kept
me
from
getting
into
the
massage
field,
but
that
didn’t
keep
me
from
doing
what
95%
of
the
population
ends
up
doing…
I
joined
the
rat
race…
One
thing
I
can
say
though.
I
got
a
great
set
of
hands
for
a
cool
$8,000.
What
a
deal.

What
is
money?
Let’s
break
money
down.
Your
going
to
think
I’m
crazy
for
this
but
money
is
NOTHING.
It’s
paper
and
as
of
right
now,
it’s
not
worth
the
paper
that
it’s
printed
on.
Quick
fact
out
of
left
field…
It
only
costs
$0.04
to
print
a
dollar
bill.
Back
to
our
regularly
scheduled
program.
So
why
are
people
still
choosing
money
over
friends,
family
and
love?
Because
they
feel
having
money
on
top
of
money
gives
them
security.
Notice
people
always
say
they
want
money
and
power.
Power
comes
with
money.
In
my
world,
time
is
power.
Money
will
soon
follow
when
you
realize
this.
I
know
you
see
how
so
many
rich
celebs
are
steps
away
from
death.
You
think
they
have
everything.
They
have
all
the
money
in
the
world,

their
garage.
If
they
have
all
this,
then
why
are
they
so
close
to
the
edge?
Because
money
gives
no
type
of
mental
stability
besides
the
fact
that
you
know
you
don’t
have
to
worry
about
paying
bills.
Money
only
has
the
power
you
give
it
and
the
truth
is,
the
power
is
not
really
in
the
money.
The
power
is
in
the
resource
that
you
buy
with
the
money.
If
you
could
get
that
same
resource
for
free,
then
it
would
crush
the
value
of
money.
That’s
a
pretty
wild
thought
but
it’s
true.
Eventually
we
will
come
to
a
time
when
money
means
nothing;
even
more
than
now.
When
it’s
not
enough
to
cover
that
resource
that
it
was
so
famous
for
buying,
people
are
going
to
be
forced
to
look
for
another
form
of
“money”
or
something
to
get
the
resources
they
need.
I’m
not
by
any
means
telling
you
to
not
get
money.
I’m
simply
saying
keep
your
focus
on
what’s
important.
In
the
famous
words
of
Lauryn
Hill,
“You
can
get
the
money;
you
can
get
the
power,
but
keep
your
eyes
on
the
final
hour”
My
main
focus
is
making
it
into
God’s
kingdom.
What’s
yours?
I
don’t
want
to
focus
too
much
on
money
because
like
I
said,
it’s
not
that
important.

No
Engine,
No
Movement
As
I’m
writing
this,
I’m
on
a
plane
from
San
Diego,
CA.
I
had
a
great
trip
and
plan
on
moving
there
real
soon.
Now
can
you
tell
me
what
would
have
stopped
this
whole
trip
dead
in
its
tracks?
You
read
the
title
right?
It’s
a
little
far
fetched
but
you
should
catch
my
drift.
If
this
plane
doesn’t
have
an
engine
then
there’s
no
motion,
which
means
that
my
trip
would
have
been
canceled.
This
same
simple
equation
applies
to
us.
We
are
all
planes
headed
to
that
destination
which
we
consider
success
and
we
will
not
reach
it
unless
we
take
massive
action.
Massive
action
is
what
it
takes
to
make
that
trip.
I
hear
all
the
time
“Big
money
Dennis”
or
“traveling
man”
or
my
personal
favorite
“I
want
to
be
like
you
when
I
grow
up”.
When
I
hear
this,
I
tell
them
“You
can”
and
I
mean
it
with
every
taste
bud
of
my
tongue.

Most
people
see
me
as
successful
because
I
don’t
work
a
regular
job
yet
I
have
some
if
not
more
of
the
things
they
aspire
to
have
in
life.
Along
with
that,
they
think
all
this
came
easy.
See
most
people
don’t
have
what
it
takes
to
be
successful
because
they
want
it
to
be
easy.
They
don’t
know
that
I
worked
countless
hours
building
site
after
site,
living
and
learning,
making
mistakes
and
making
money
and
finally,
almost
getting
slapped
with
a
3rd
degree
felony
in
real
estate.
Yea
they
had
me
scared
for
a
minute.
I
recently
read
that
to
be
truly
success,
you
have
to
willing
to
accept
failure
98%
of
the
time
until
finally
you
get
to
that
2%.
That’s
rough!
I’m
here
to
tell
you
SUCCESS
AINT
EASY.
It’s
going
to
be
one
of
the
hardest
things
in
life
that
you
ever
try
to
attain.
This
is
because
with
everything
you’re
trying
to
learn,
there’s
a
learning
curve
where
you’re
going
to
make
mistakes.
Your
job
is
to
learn
from
those
mistakes
and
not
make
them
again.
I’ve
made
so
many
mistakes.
I’ve
created
blogs
that
I
thought
because
I
was
getting
crazy
traffic,
I
would
make
thousands
of
dollars.
Turned
out,
I
had
spent
hours
building
a
site
that
would
only
bring
a
few
dollars
a
day.

I
tried
to
make
money
as
a
mail
stuffer.
That
ended
up
being
the
quickest
$35
I
ever
wasted.
I’ve
spent
hours
on
other
Internet
ventures
that
only
took
up
my
time
and
didn’t
really
make
me
any
money.
What’s
different
from
most
people
and
me
is
that
I
never
gave
up.
I
didn’t
quit
just
because
the
first
couple
of
times,
my
ideas
didn’t
work.
I
saw
2
things.
Either
I
was
making
money
and
needed
to
bump
it
up
to
the
max
or
it
was
a
total
dud
and
I
didn’t
need
to
put
any
more
of
my
money
and
time
into
it.
I
saw
the
potential
calling
out
to
me
like
one
of
those
collect
calls
from
your
close
relative
who’s
in
prison
for
the
next
20
years.
You
know
it’s
going
to
cost
you
to
answer
it.
You
want
to
talk
to
them
so
bad
because
it’s
been
so
long
but
simply
put,
some
of
us
just
don’t
have
it
in
us
to
take
that
call.
Are
you
going
to
take
the
call
when
it
rings?

quit
his
or
her
job
but
I
will
ask
you
one
question.
Well
maybe
3.
Do
you
absolutely
without
a
doubt
love
your
current
job?
If
this
same
job
were
immediately
taken
from
you,
would
you
love
it
then?
Would
you
consider
figuring
out
your
passion
and
getting
paid
to
connect
with
other
people
that
share
that
same
passion?

If
you
answered
yes
to
the
first
question,
then
this
book
may
not
help
you
at
all
but
you
can
keep
on
reading.
Please
don’t
look
at
your
job
as
being
secure
unless
you
work
in
a
funeral
home
because
I’ve
heard
of
a
certain
“successful”
person,
college
degree
and
nice
cars
with
a
200k
a
year
salary
that
became
jobless.
He
ended
up
delivering
pizzas
in
a
Corvette.
Moral
of
the
story
is
that
the
only
secure
job
is
when
you’re
the
boss
and
control
what’s
going
on.
In
my
Internet
business,
if
I’m
on
top
of
new
movements
and
shifts
in
the
Internet
world,
I
make
the
necessary
changes
while
others
who
don’t
“lose
their
jobs”.
It’s
just
that
simple.
In
a
corporation
that
you
work
for,
they
see
a
change
and
they
may
wait
til
the
deadline
to
get
you
up
to
speed
on
something.
If
you
can’t
keep
up,
you
can
easily
be
replaced.
This
was
constantly
hammered
in
my
head
with
the
constant
waving
of
penitential
job
applicants’
applications
in
my
face
with
a
“you
know
there
are
plenty
of
people
waiting
for
your
job”.
I
later
realized
this
was
mere
intimidation
and
psychology.
It
never
worked
on
me,
which
is
why
I
was
singled
out
and
fired.

Don’t
depend
on
a
“secure”
job
from
a
corporation
as
the
vehicle
on
your
road
to
success.
I’ve
seen
too
many
people
be
let
down
by
taking
this
route.
Now
I’m
going
to
explain
why
you
shouldn’t

Chapter
9
Don’t
just
quit
your
job!
It
could
be
a
big
mistake;
TRUST
ME.
I
know
you’ve
heard
the
success
stories
from
gurus
on
how
they
had
no
job
facing
homelessness
and
became
millionaires
in
6
months
after
sucking
it
up
and
taking
risks.
These
stories
can
sound
very
juicy
but
they
can
also
be
misleading.
How
do
I
know?
Because
I
was
one
of
the
people
that
was
mislead
but
I
don’t
blame
the
gurus.
I’ll
explain
in
a
few.
Unless
you
live
at
home
with
your
parents,
there’s
one
thing
that
no
matter
how
bad
life
gets,
you
can’t
get
around
paying.
That’s
BILLS.
When
you
start
an
online
business,
just
like
any
other
business,
you
will
need
money
to
reinvest.
If
you
make
$100
profit,
invest
all
or
some,
back
into
your
business
to
make
$200
profit
and
so
on.

If
you
have
bills
to
pay,
then
your
profits
are
going
to
be
sucked
dry.
Now
me;
I
take
risks
so
I
was
skipping
bills
and
putting
money
into
my
internet
business
but
when
things
don’t
go
the
way
you
expect
them
to,
those
overdue
bills
catch
up
with
you
and
it
becomes
a
hole
that
is
hard
to
get
out
of.
This
is
the
reason
I
tell
people
not
to
just
quit
your
job.
If
you
can’t
pay
your
bills,
then
most
likely,
you’re
going
to
be
extremely
stressed
out.
I
know
I
was
at
some
points.
Instead,
I
suggest
hanging
on
to
a
steady
source
of
income
until
it’s
no
longer
needed.
Once
you
get
the
hang
of
this
online
thing
and
start
having
extra
money
lying
around,
it’s
time
to
start
TAKING
YOUR
TIME
BACK.
So
I
don’t
sound
like
a
hypocrite,
please
remember
that
I
had
no
choice.
It
was
either
get
fired
or
quit.
I
never
quit
so
I
ended
up
being
singled
out
and
fired.
As
I
look
back
on
my
past
struggles,
if
I
could
do
it
over,
I
would
have
tried
to
hang
in
there
a
little
while
longer
to
get
my
finances
in
order
but
truthfully,
it
was
out
of
my
control.
It’s
a
known
fact
that
you
will
see
what
you
are
really
made
of
when
you
are
faced
with
trying
times.
Having
my
lights
cut
off,
facing
eviction
and
later
getting
evicted,
didn’t
faze
me
at
all.
It
made
me
stronger,
wiser
and
gave
me
the
drive
to
want
to
achieve
more.
It

be

you
to
get
this
exact
mindset
or
maybe
not
but
you
must
be
able
to
look
at
bad
times
as
stepping
stones
to
get
to
the
good
ones.
Sandy
came
through
once
again
with
great
advise.
Before
I
tell
you
what
she
told
me,
know
that
I
always
talk
to
her
because
she’s
been
through
so
much.
She
was
rich
at
one
point
(I
think
a
millionaire),
lost
everything
down
to
being
homeless
and
now
she’s
wealthy.
Could
you
imagine
the
knowledge
and
inspiration
you
can
get
from
someone
like
that?
I
hit
her
up
one
day
telling
her
about
some
of
the
things
I
was
going
through.
She
explained
to
me
that
this
was
part
of
the
process.
She
asked
me
“how
do
you
expect
to
inspire
someone
if
you’ve
never
been
through
anything
yourself?”
That
one
quote
got
me
ready
for
the
world
knowing
that
bad
times
are
going
to
come
but
those
same
bad
times
will
allow
me
to
really
connect
with
people
because
I’ve
been
through
what
they’re
going
through.
That’s
why
Sandy
and
I
are
so
close.
To
end
this
chapter,
remember
I
talked
earlier
about
the
successful
people
telling
their
stories?
Those
stories
aren’t
to
propel
you
into
just
buying
their
products.

and
with
a
little

By
now
your
thinking
should
be
completely
rewired.
If
not,
I’m
Sorry
to
hear
that.
This
book
was
like
medicine
meant
to
take
once
in
a
lifetime
but
it
won’t
hurt
to
take
it
(read
it)
again.
I
take
it
everyday
because
I
live
it.
Your
first
step
is
to
figure
out
what
your
passion
is.
Do
you
like
fishing?
What
about
making
art
out
of
spaghetti
noodles?
I
don’t
care
what
you
love
to
do.
It
could
be
building
houses
out
of
straw
to
mimic
the
3
little
pigs.
There’s
a
market
for
it
and
your
job
is
to
find
it.
I
suggest
in
your
free
time
(if
your
currently
working
a
job),
start
doing
some
research
and
find
out
what
your
competition
for
your
market
is
looking
like.
I’m
a
Pro
Blogger
so
as
you
can
imagine,
my
competition
is
fierce
but
what
sets
me
apart
from
the
big
guys

checks
in
my
beginning
stages
when
I
was
only
making
a
few
hundred
bucks.
Everyone
else
waits
til
their
getting
big
whopper
sized
checks
to
start
showing
them.
I’m
constantly
growing
and
I’m
bringing
people
along
for
the
ride.
Not
allowing
them
to
hop
on
the
bandwagon
once
I
get
there.
This
is
more
pressure
on
me
because
I
have
to
perform
or
I
fail
in
front
of
a
crowd
but….
Remember
what
I
said
about
if
you
think
it,
it
will
happen…
Well
failure
is
not
an
option.
I
can’t
fail...
Literally,
because
I
know
too
much
to
fail
and
I
plan
on
keeping
it
that
way.
Your
best
outlets
to
bringing
people
to
your
niche
is
through
your
very
own
blog
or
website.
This
is
where
you
can
do
just
like
me.
No
holds
barred
content
about
whatever
you
want
to
talk
about.
If
you
haven’t
already,
you
should
have
a
FaceBook
page;
both
a
personal
page
and
fan
page.
This
is
where
the
magic
happens.
You
can
either
create
ads
that
only
go
after
people
that
have
interest
in
your
particular
niche
or
you
can
get
your
hands
dirty
(figuratively
of
course)
and

advanced
Facebook
search.
If
you
have
a
small
niche
that’s
not
really
that
big,
word
of
mouth
is
going
to
be
your
best
friend
since
high
school.
This
is
why
you
need
Facebook
connections
on
your
website.
You
can
set
it
up
where
when
people
leave
a
comment,
it
shows
up
on
their
Facebook
page.
This
is
powerful
because
chances
are,
Billy
has
friends
that
are
interested
in
the
same
thing
that
he
is
and
that
means
they
may
come
to
your
website
and
the
process
repeats
itself
over
and
over
again.
Talk
about
getting
your
name
out
there
fast.
You’ve
now
allowed
the
world
to
know
your
true
passion
and
those
that
have
the
same
passion
will
praise
you
for
giving
them
a
place
to
meet
and
greet.
Meet
and
greet
being
leaving
comments
and
maybe
eventually
holding
an
event.
Do
you
think
that
comic
book/video
game
event
they
hold
in
San
Diego
became
the
biggest
event
ever
in
that
niche
overnight?
No.
I
don’t
know
their
strategies
but
I
can
almost
guarantee
that
they
started
just
like
you
and
I.
A
website
or
a
small
group
of
nerds
that
were
picked
on
because
of
what
they
like.
Now
they
have
an
event
that
brings
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
to
the
city
and
many
cities
would
start
a
city
war
to
hold
such
an
event
for
those
funds.

I’m

the
best
way
I
can
while
providing
people
with
the
content
that
may
change
their
lives
and
give
them
an
escape.
I
use
the
Internet
because
it’s
the
best
way
to
profit
today.
It
will
literally
get
you
in
front
of
the
world
with
the
click
of
a
mouse
or
the
making
of
a
video.
How
do
I
know?
Because
people
do
it
everyday.
I’m
living
proof.
I
wrote
a
book
on
my
MacBook
and
gave
it
out
on
internet
and
here
you
are.

my
book.
Others
have
started
YouTube
channels
talking
about
whatever
they
want.
Sports,
relationship
advice
or

Do
you
know
that
YouTube
pays
you
when
you
get
a
large
number
of
views
on
your
videos?
It’s
called
a
YouTube
partner.
I
make
money
from
YouTube
views
and
I’m
not
even
a
partner.
This
is
the
easiest
method
to
get

on

You
can’t

shy
though.

thing
I

is
to
not
put

much

perfect.
I

you;
as
you
make
more
and
more
videos,
you’ll
get
better
at
it.
It’s
great
to
sit
back

watch
your
progression.
I
remember
my
videos
use
to
be
mediocre
and
boring.
I
now
hop
in
front
of
a
camera
with
no
fear
and
full
of
energy.
If
you’re
scared
to
speak
in
front
of
a
camera,
I
suggest
you
read
book
on
public
speaking.
I’m
giving
you
basic
methods
that
are
very
valid
to
get
started
on
making
your
next
move
your
best
move.
If
you
want
to
make
a
change,
you
have
to
do
something.
Let
me
ask
you
some
questions.
Do
you
hate
having
to
answer
to
someone
else?
I
did!
Do
you
feel
that
you’re
smarter
than
the
people
over
you?
I
always
did.
Do
you

to
be
your

boss?
I

of
becoming….
Well
I
don’t
even
know.
I
just
wanted
to
be
successful.
I
grew
up
the
only
child
so
and
as
you
can
imagine,
my
imagination
was
beyond
amazing
(along
with
a
side
of
selfishness).
I
grew
up
in
a
single
parent
home;
just
me,
my
mom
and
an
occasional
hamster,
goldfish
or
parrot
throughout
the
years.
I
didn’t
grow
up
with
the
best
of
everything
like
I
wanted
but
I
had
everything
I
needed.

Elementary
and
middle-­‐school
were
easy
rolling
for
me.
As
you
probably
know,
90%
of
kids
get
honor-­‐roll
in
those
grades.
For
some
reason,
they
thought
I
was
“Gifted”
so
they
put
me
in
advanced
classes.
From
1st
grade
to
6th
grade,
I
only
missed
getting
the
honor-­‐roll
once.
That
teacher
had
it
in
for
me.
When
I
got
to
7th
grade,
they
shoved
me
in
advanced
classes.
I
soon
realized
that
I
was
a
regular
kid
after
getting
my
first
D
in
Mr.
Goldberg’s
math
class.
I’ve
always
remembered
his
name
because
I
wondered
was
he
the
father
of
the
pro-­‐wrestler
named
Goldberg.
I
moved
around
quite
a
bit
due
to
my
mom
just
liking
to
see
new
places.
This
kept
me
from
keeping
childhood
friends.
Today,
I
only
have
2
friends
I
still
talk
to
from
my
childhood.
High-­‐school;
the
first
time
for
everything.
Sadly
my
mom
passed
away
during
my
senior
year
in
2003
after
a
short
battle
with
kidney
failure;
just
after
I
turned
18.
It
didn’t
settle
in
until
a
few
days
after
her
passing
that
my
mom
was
gone
out
of
my
physical
life
forever.
The
woman
that
stuck
by
my
side
through
thick
and
thin;
never
let
me
down
and
gave
me
everything
I
needed.
The
only
friend
I
knew
I
would
never
lose
was
now
gone.
I’m
actually
holding
back
tears
as
I
write
this
but
I
always
remember
what
my
mom
