Become A Millionaire

This video below is a perfect example of how stars are born.

A kid has a big dream of playing for a world-class club or playing for their country at the world cup…

He trains and prepares for his dream no matter what others say or how much they ridicule him…

He does EVERYTHING he knows he needs to do to get there and he keeps holding on to that dream…

A CHANCE comes.

He’s READY for it.

His dream becomes a REALITY.

This video really inspired me to write my own “bucket-list” and so I did. Amazingly, my sense of ADVENTURE and THRILL almost shot up by 10 times the moment I did this and my mind began thinking of ways how I can do the incredible things I wrote down – like sky-diving!

Write your own list my friend and begin doing the things that you’ve always said “I’ll do that once in my lifetime” and put it off. The time is now because tomorrow might just never come. So live fully, live now!

In the past few months, in an effort to get as much feedback as I could from more experienced business people and trainers, I have accidentally forgotten to take their advice with “a pinch of salt” and have allowed them to define me by the mistakes I’ve made.

Which is why this video really got to me. It reminded me of the following :

“No one will deny me. No one will define me and no one will tell me who and what I am and can be. BELIEF WILL CHANGE MY WORLD. It has moved continents. It has moved countries. It has put Man on the moon. And it will carry me through this battle. WHO AM I?! I AM A CHAMPION!”

Began my day by watching a great movie called Coach Carter. If it’s one thing I learnt, success is about FUNDAMENTALS. It’s not about looking for the easiest or fastest way to get there. It’s about getting back to basics and DOING the simple things you need to do to make your vision a reality! If it takes 10,000 pushups, will you do it?

The most important lesson I learnt is that things come too easily too us sometimes and so we’re not hungry for an opportunity to win when it comes.

In the movie Coach Carter said something to the effect of, “Being on the basketball team is a privilege” and not an entitlement.

***BEING ON STAGE IS A PRIVILEGE***

The image that was permanently burnt into my mind was when one of the boys, Crews had to do 10,000 suicides and 5,000 pushups in order to get into the team after he disrespected Coach Carter….

And he did it and NEVER complained.

That’s the kind of desire that I’m inspired with now – to be willing to do WHATEVER it takes to get what I want.

“What’s it going to take for me to get on the team, Sir?” were the words that reverberated through my mind.

“I’d do anything. Just tell me and I’ll do it!”.

The other thing that tugged at my heartstrings was when he read out the “Powerful Beyond Measure” speech that I’ll embed below.

Remember this, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.”

“If you don’t have a plan for yourself, you’ll be a part of someone else’s plans.” When deciding on opportunities, see how well it fits with your plan. Don’t see how you can fit that plan into your life because you’ll end up doing something for other people’s reasons. Do things for YOUR reasons and to fuel YOUR VISION.
