Are you wallowing hard, or hardly wallowing?
The best and brightest (whatever that means) of us spend the day wallowing in delusion. The brain is designed to function that way, and I don’t know why. A glitch? One such delusion is the brainwashing I’ve been affected by, which assures me I have to keep posting here once in a while.
What has REALLY worked in your life? What are the things you can look back on and say “I scored”?
And in what manner have you been banging your head against a wall, seemingly for centuries, for the stupidest of reasons, while your life runs out?
At this point in your life, it is time to cut the bullshit delusions of grandeur that have hypnotized you from every angle in today’s culture. Go ahead and fail for years, then you can succeed and join us in the top ranks. You are too good to have to work past the age of 45, you must become “special” (something we’ve all secretly believed about ourselves), you must show the world how special you are and let other people’s exhaltation and money wash over you.
Cut the crap, is all I’m saying. Don’t aim for a million dollars a month if that’s in defiance of your basic personality type – your brain will fight you and you’ll end up in your attic, crying, again. Don’t strain to find a freaking niche to bombard with another 100,000 auto-generated web pages. Go listen to a hundred hours of free audio from Adyashanti or Paul Hedderman, although I’m 90% sure that this isn’t the place to be talking of things like that.
Get a real paying gig – and I’m not necessarily talking about a “job” as such. You get to pre-determine how much effort you will expend for every $100 you make, and what you are and aren’t willing to sacrifice.
Meanwhile, work continues apace on two, soon to be three projects. And that is all I can handle. When you’re personally managing AdWords for more than two separate businesses, it screws with your mind.
This post was aimed at marketers, but if you’ve got a small business that you want to bring online, I’ve got about 70 people now on my “marketer looking to work with a business” list, so get in touch with me.
