Everything on stake for bigger success
By acca | January 5, 2008
I watched great movie the other day - The Actors. British production. Now, how is that related to work from home, online business and stuff? This part, Michael Caine speaks, have to do with it:
-I’ll think you’ll agree that acting isn’t real. That’s because nothing is a stake. We’re just pretending that it is. Now, suppose that something was on stake, really at stake, like a life or death, or money. Well, my proposition is to blur the difference. -
Put something big on stake. That worked to many entrepreneurs. That was the key in business success. In internet business and working from home, too. I have met online lot of successful people who made real success and reached their goal after they quited offline job. Look, I don’t say to you “Go, quit your regularly job!” now. Don’t come to me if you do that and don’t succeed. I am still not ready to do that myself. But I know I will have to one day. If you have a day job, and working online from home is just for money on side, you have no motivation. But if your life, food, clothing, all depends on how much you will earn on internet this month, than you will work like an maniac. You will be organized, you will work at least 8 hours a day, probably more, you will reach the goal. Or, the other thing. I met some guy who told me how he learned PHP. He saw the ad where some firm was looking for PHP expert to make them some script. He called them, said he is real expert in PHP programing (he didn’t knew single code in PHP than) and he offered to do that script in one week. Others were planing to make it in 2 to 3 weeks. He got the job. Than, he worked and learned like a mad. He bought several books, looked on PHP forums for help, learning and working in the same time. And he made that script in 6 days. Now he really is one of the best PHP geeks I know.
So, put something big on stake and you will be more motivated. You’ll have bigger chances for success. Move the like. Blur the difference.
