Excellent post Danny, and I think this is a great discussion here. Just to supplement your reply.
I believe that “it,” or that inner creative power that a particular individual possesses, is something that a high number of people have within themselves. However, the problem is that some have it stronger than others, and some have it somewhat strong, but their own lack of understanding cripples it. Plus, to add on top of that, when a person has “it,” at the beginning of their ventures, they are usually the ONLY person who SEES IT AND FEELS IT. Lol, so what happens to many people is that, because their wife, their husband, their mother, their father, teacher, etc, etc, doesn’t SEE AND FEEL the same thing, they will give that individual their “loving and caring” advice. And that advice is usually to drop the idea and just forget it.
Not to sound too preachy here, but look at the most successful business people, actors, entertainers, etc. Most of these people was like the main character in Million Dollar Baby, ONLY THEY KNEW they could do it. Nobody else knew or believed them. So what’s the problem here?
Well the problem is, that the people that hold the positions as “loving and caring” people in their lives, they usually ALWAYS give their “loving and caring” advice to the person to just drop and quit the idea. And it comes down to just basically the person having to go it alone, if they are strong enough to NOT LISTEN to the “advice” of their loving and caring family members.
Here’s what I’m saying, anybody can succeed, anybody. Success doesn’t have a favorite, the thing a person needs to do is figure out the area of business or success they want to achieve and study and become a professional in that area. What happens is they lay the blueprints of success on their life, and from that blueprint they begin constructing their dream financial foundations.
It’s not magic. It takes more than faith, it’s about tailored planning. I guess my message is more to the guy who is like I used to be. I was a guy nobody believed in, NO-BODY.
Everybody gave me very sincere and “honest” advice, and that was to just quit. And trust me, it was from loved ones, people that you would normally KNOW would ALWAYS give you the honest truth, no matter what. And in their minds, they were giving the honest truth, but they had no idea of what I was even trying to do to even judge it.
And this situation happens to almost everybody, who decides to follow their inner “it,” or inner creative state. Everybody has “it,” every single person. The one that made it, was the one who also had something I like to call a, “I don’t Give A Crap What Ya’ll Think Of Me,” attitude.
