How bad do you want to succeed?
"Most people don't want it bad enough"
When was the last time you actually wanted something so bad you couldn't sleep?
I'm talking about the type of wanting where you'd do anything to get there.
I used to say I wanted to be successful, but I'd spend my weekends playing video games and watching YouTube videos.
Truth is, I didn't want it bad enough.
It wasn't until I saw my bank account shrink, was still living at my parents house, and watching everyone around me level up in life that I actually started to want it.
I wanted it so bad that I stopped going out with friends.
I wanted it so bad that I swapped out playing video games all day to teaching myself skills all day.
I wanted it so bad that I completely shut out everything that didn’t help me get to my goals faster.
That's when things started to change for me.
I went from making $10k a year to $6k a month in less than a year.
I still wanted more, but now I had a great foundation to build on.
Most people say they want success, but their actions show different.
They want comfort more than success.
They want to scroll on their phone more than success.
They want to sleep in more than success.
If you truly wanted it, you wouldn't be able to do anything else except work towards that goal.
The reason most people don't succeed is because they don't want it bad enough.
They're comfortable where they are.
And until the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the pain of change, they'll never take action.
So ask yourself right now.
Do you really want it?
Or do you just like the idea of it?
Your actions will tell the truth.
