Happy Saturday All…

So I was sitting here frizzled and scattered, looking for that tidy list of productive things to do in my head that will help propel me towards my goal.

I asked Self:

“Aren’t you like that proverbial jackrabbit, hopping from one goodie patch to another? Aren’t you scattered, going 3 directions at once? Shouldn’t you be a single purpose FOCUSSED kind of turtle?”

Turtles wins the race as I’ve read repeatedly in my SBI lit.

So… if you are BORN a jackrabbit, but you need to win the race, what the He** do you do about THAT?

Okay. As a human kind of jackrabbit, I realize that we can CHANGE our rabbitty habittys.

We, as humans, have THAT kind of CAPACITY.

So, we FORCE ourselves to do what needs doing, we force ourselves to CULTIVATE inspiration, we DO what we SHOULD rather than what we WANT. We SKIP the next goodie patch and cultivate THIS ONE we’re sittin’ on.

The MORE we do it, the better we become at it. And then… usually… we actually begin to ENJOY it.

Yeah? Yeah. It’s worked for me in the past… And it still applies.

And more note to self: QUIT DREAMING AND SCHEMING, more PRAGMATIC PRACTICALITIES, please.

An entrepreneur’s work is chores are NEVER done.

So… Self - want success? You may have to re-align your natural inclinations. Remember… we NEVER would have learned to read and write if we hadn’t been FORCED to go to school.

We only do what is best FOR us when we are FORCED. Either forced by others, or forced by circumstances such as HUNGER.

Not a one of us would have done much on our own without being forced. In a more tree languishing society, lazing about and following simple natural proclivities might have worked.

But not with Entrepreneurship. If our base nature destines us to a life of hip hopping and unfocussed unpurposed fun seeking, we must overcome.

It’s only the successful that control their inner rabbit, groom their inner wolverine and FORCE themselves to do what Needs Doing to Get Where They Really Want to Go.

Craps.
