I have worked out with body builders, and during workouts people often approach these muscle clowns to ask how they got so big. Never do these body builders go around telling people they work out. If they did, any straight headed human would laugh and say, ”No shit Sherlock.”
On the other hand, Fatty Mc Fatterson from work never eats the surprise birthday cake because she is somehow always preaching about “losing weight.” Just Like the day Zitty Mc-bad-skin tried to sell me on the importance of the raw food diet. Or what about the thousands of Broke Mc-I-make-no-money-son, who try to sell Multi Level marketing products.
The world of try hards is getting ridiculous. So is the world of- I am worth ridiculous amounts of money… like the other day when I received an internet marketers email that said, “What do you do?”
That’s a damn good question I thought. What does Devin Bisanz do?
Am I a writer?
Am I a speaker?
Am I a salesman, Internet marketer, or just another joke?
The email had a link to a sales video, and in video had a breakdown of 5 different options. One option was a half day, one-on-one session with this marketer. The price, 3,000 dollars. The benefits, you will come out with a product, a breakdown of your path the success, and a marketing plan.
To a person like myself that sounds great. I’ll walk away from this day a changed man; however, what is going to happen when I hit my first roadblock? Or what happens when I realize that this plan I have devised is not a representation of my deep down desires.
Ah, but this marketer has a cure for that. He is going to give me a personality test, a preliminary interview, and of course he is going to give me access to his in depth training, and discounts to all his future events.
Great, except for one problem… I will run out of money and energy long before my product gets launched. Why? Because this marketer, and no marketer holds the answers for my destiny…
I don’t play by other peoples rules, because if I did… I would be like every other consumer out there who thinks they can buy the answers to their problems.
Lets break into some bragging rights here… I quit major substance abuse without the help of any 12 step program. I lost 60 pounds without needing a personal trainer. I wrote a book without taking writing courses. I get up and do motivational speeches without knowing the ropes, and I have the healthiest of relationships… why? Because I self- motivate———– and it has taken me awhile to get anywhere, but that is only because I am scared…
But what am I scared of?
Simple,
I am scared to believe in myself. I’m scared that I will not be able to connect to the people that I want to. It is fear that holds me back from creating a blog that represents who I am, but that doesn’t bother me one bit. In fact, I am growing into what I want to become as we speak…
Listen up consumers, get your head out of the clouds. There are no shortcuts, and I haven’t met any highly successful people who haven’t travelled on the hard road at one point or another.
Life is one big hurdle. Fix one problem, face five others. Fix five problems, face twenty. If I don’t have a problem, I’ll create a problem, and with a no limits attitude, a person like myself can create a disaster. Oh wait, I have created disasters. Now I will talk about those disasters because those disasters have made me both rich and poor, and a man who has been rich, never wants to be poor. On the other hand, a man who has been poor, never wants to feel that hurt again…
Oh look at that… how clever… both of those comments say the same thing… so I guess the key is to get rich, but I am not yet ready to show you how to do that. What I will show you is how to motivate yourself…
Happy New Year! January is a big month, I’m going to Miami Florida to get certified as a motivational coach with NLP society approval…
It’s my ticket, my reward for going through tough times with my head held high. It’s a stepping stone to my dreams, because like you, I have a dream… now we define it…
Sincerely,
Devin Bisanz
