Invidious

About two weeks ago, someone asked me, "Steve, how were you able to cope when you failed for several years in the business world?"

My answer to him was this;

I ALWAYS read the stories of the people who have done what I wanted to do.

You see, here is the big mistake most people are making;

They are not reading biographies of the people who have achieved what they want to achieve.

Let me tell you why this is very important.

Life is DIFFICULT (and extremely so)

I don't care what your dream is, if it's worthwhile, the very first thing that will happen is,

You'll make mistake.

Guess what will happens next?

Another mistake.

And next?

Yes, another mistake and some terrible failures.

Then, something in you will start telling you;

"Steve, are you crazy?"

"Won't you throw in the towel and try something else?"

"Can't you just go and get a job and live a normal life?"

For most people, that is the end of their dreams.

Now imagine that you've read the story of how Stephen Covey LOST money for 11 (long) years before he built a business that later worth $160 Million (Or so).

Imagine you've read the biography of Toyota and see how the company was a failure for 13 (LONG) years.

Imagine you've read the story of how Henry Ford failed several years before he discovered the secret raw material that changed his fortune forever?

Now, you see what I'm talking about.

If you don't read the biographies of other people who have achieved success, you will OVERrate what is happening to you.

You'll then give up.

I'm about to finish my third book this year. Two of them are biographies.

Read. Read.

Read a lot and read biographies.

I Love You and wish you a fruitful life

Correct bro, if we are reading biography of others then we will know how small our problem is and how blessed we are 😊

Wow ...so much inspiration I've heard your stories several times but I know a biography book about yourself will really go into deep details. I've also read about Phil Knight founder of Nike, and also about Jack ma founder of Alibaba The mistake most people make is that they make money their drive and motivation..."if money is where you find happiness you'll be poor" According to me if you focus on money you'll surely lose focus on your dreams. Please permit me to share a little story with you. Some days ago a friend of mine chatted me, and he asked me Lucas hope you're now making money from the comedy skits you're making. Lols I laughed and told him , I just have but 3k+ follows on Instagram that'll be foolish of me beginning to think about money right now. And I told him that "In anything you're doing if you focus on money then you'll definitely lose focus on your dreams also" . Then the reply this guy gave me was that "I thought you went into comedy for the money" Lols...this made me laugh because, it's mindset and thoughts like this that make people not to be able to achieve great things in life. They always want quick fix and instantaneous gratification . They lack grit and vision. My story could continue but however this isn't my page 😅😅. Big Love to you and your team Steve❤
