Keep Grinding and Never Get Complacent
Isiah Thomas, Point Guard of the Boston Celtics once asked a Billionaire how he became so successful. And the billionaire told Isiah “Stay Paranoid and never get complacent”. In fact, this is the same advice Billionaire Warren Buffet gives also. Buffet says to always work as if someone is chasing you and trying to beat your or take your position.
Angela Yi did a TED Talk and said the #1 Determinant for success is a term called “Grit”. This is the Secret to Success or (Only Thing to Guarantee Success). She’s a teacher and she noticed the overwhelming similarity amongst all her Top Students was not their IQ or knowledge but how hard they worked and disciplined to study effectively, and force themselves to get the assignment done to get good grades.
Looking out my South Korean Tour Bus window, gazing out at the beautiful mountains, green fields, and fresh rivers, I kept thinking about what got me to where I am, and the constant thought in my mind was the insane amount of hardwork, dedication, blood, sweat and tears, day in and day out I worked in the gym, hours upon hours and from that hardwork that little round ball brought me to Russia, Mongolia and Korea. So, I kept thinking to myself when I get back to Jersey it’s grind time to the max and I will work harder and smarter than I ever worked before so I can advance my game, business and life. Hardwork and dedication Is what got me to where I am. So working hard is the only way to take my dreams to the next level and to become ultra successful. Top Salesman – Grant Cardone says that you must hustle like an Immigrant. A recent study done by Harvard says that immigrants are 3 times more likely to become millionaires than the average American. And Floyd “Money” Mayweather says you must hustle and train like you’re poor. We all know Mayweather ain’t poor but if a multi-millionaire undefeated professional athlete is thinking like that well ya damn sure we should be thinking like that as well.
Stay tuned for my next post on my Trip to South Korea.
