Everybody wants success or at least they say they do

If you could take a video of every successful person and watch them pursuing their dreams, you would be stunned at the amount of pain people go through to get the top. It would disqualify a ton of people from ever getting on that train. We all see the glamour of hollywood, professional athletes, olympians, realtors, business owners, motivational speakers, and think WOW! I want that too. But if you saw their beginnings and all the humility and hard work they had to go through to get to the other side, I doubt very much that you would bite at it. I learned recently that one of the top income earners in network marketing who now earns over $100K per month, never earned a dime for his first 5 years in the industry. I know of several movie stars who lived out of their cars, or went hungry trying to make it in Hollywood. Many athletes have to endure grueling training throughout high school and college to get to the pro level. As they say, "No Pain, No Gain". And of course there are those that hit the top and then have to bounce back from the very bottom. Two individuals that come to mind are actor Mickey Rourke and Billionaire Donald Trump. Did you know that Mickey was completely broke and trying to become a boxer before his comeback and academy nomination for the movie, "The Wrestler". Donald Trump was in debt for Billions and never took out personal bankruptcy a decade ago. If you don't believe me on Trump, read his book, "The Art Of The Comeback". Brian Tracy the famed author and motivator, claims most successful people he knows have been bankrupt more than once. So, just ask yourself before you get on the field the next time if you are ready to sacrifice. If not, you might want to just play it safe and stay where you are and follow those that are willing to put their livelihood on the line.
