So without further ado, here is a passage from my new book. "The Hustler's Mindset: The 5 Keys to A Healthy, Balanced, and Amazing Lifestyle " (Name subject to change)

1. Those people who got there are just lucky
2. Competition is too high, I've got nothing new to offer
3. I've wasted too much time already what's the point
4. Everyone else is better at it than I am why should I try
5. I don't get any support
6. I don't have the time
7. I can't invest any money into it
8. I don't know where to even start
9. I'm just going to be dissapointed in the end
10. God / The universe has cursed me with no future

1. Those who got there are just lucky.
   What is luck anyways? Luck is simply a charm, or a percentage of chance. Think about it this way, if you attempt something enough, your chances of getting it, get higher and higher. Life does NOT work like the lottery. The lottery works like this; you play a game, and every time your chances are reduced back to where you started. You don't get to start where you left off. Life is totally different because with acquiring wealth and knowledge you can start where you left off if you apply yourself correctly. Many famous actors, writers, and other wealthy and successful people have learned the most valuable lessons through trial and error. We all start somewhere. Sure, some people may seem like they have a valuable skill set, but they have failed many times. However, how early you fail will determine your successes. Those people who are young and rich are doing so because they have went through trial and error at an earlier part of their life.
2. Competition is too high, I've got nothing new to offer.
   Newsflash. There will always be some form of competition. Ever since human evolutionary history, we have been competing with our environment for millions of years. You win some, you lose some. Complaining about competition is a thing of the past. With the wealth of knowledge at our finger tips these days, it has never been easier to compete with the highest competitors. Sure, you may feel intimitated competing with for example a major corporation. But what do you think the major clothing brands thought when they wanted to compete with Nike? How about apple against microsoft? No matter what, you will face competition. Its up to you to man up and go for it because chances are most people won't, which already in itself gives you edge over the mediocre crowd who have a scarcity mindset.
3. I've wasted too much time, what's the point.
   True, maybe you have wasted some time. But why continuously waste it? You saw in the larry example, he was spending a lot of time partying and spending money on expensive things rather than investing in his time and knowledge of knowing how to achieve the lifestyle he wanted. He jumped to the partying and spending money first before he could live comfortably. Nowadays, he had to move back into his parents house just because he didn't invest properly. Now even if you're at that point, it's still never too late. We all learn from our mistakes and in the end it has made you a stronger person. Think of time as simply a measurement of scheduling. You schedule this, schedule that, but don't think of your life as “how many days you've got left” but rather, to make the most of the present moment. (I highly recommend the book “The power of now” if you need more help grasping this concept) When you reach the point of success, you will look back upon it and realize how much fun the entire journey was. Do you know how boring life would be without obstacles? It would be like watching a movie where literally nothing goes wrong. Try imagine watching your favorite movie without any conflict. Talk about snooze fest.
4. Everyone else is better at it than I am so why should I try it?
   This goes back to many previous points, but I'll be brief. Everyone can always improve upon something and by going into the comparison game you are stopping yourself from reaching your vast potential. So what you may not be as good as person X, who cares, you are reaching your potential. You shouldn't measure your success based on other people, you just have to ask yourself, are you truly happy with where your life is currently. If not, you need to make the effort to change and change yourself because you want to, not because you are trying to please anyone.
5. I don't have any support
   Sure you do. There are people, literally thousands, who all experience the same feelings and thoughts as you do. What you need to do is cast away people from your life that pull you down, and while you may not be able to avoid them all the time ; ex family, you need to limit your exposure to them as much as you can if you are trying to get anywhere in life. I like to use the crab analogy. When fishermen catch crab, they put them all in a bucket. There are plenty of crabs in there and all of a sudden, one single crab every once in a while will try to climb to the top and make an escape. However all the other crabs see this and band together and try to pull the crab down. Are you going to let people drag you down to the pool of mediocrity or achieve the top 1% of society? Surround yourself with “crabs” that will push yourself over the top. Chances are those people will help you.
6. I don't have the time
   Chances are you do. You just may not be spending it wisely on things. Try this for a week, track everything you do, and track how long it takes you to do it. Like literally everything. Even when you take a crap. You'll be surprised how much time you spend on tasks that shouldn't take as long. (Now, don't go not wiping yourself after you take a dump...I'm talking about the unessential things lol) Sorry for the toilet humour.
7. I can't invest any money into it
   How much coffee do you drink? How often do you go out? Try this method. Take note of every penny you spend over the course of 30 days. You will definitly find some extra money being spent on things that aren't really worth your ultimate goal and will hinder it. Now, I'm a huge proponent of making sure you eat healthy and nutritious food so don't cut that out. Maybe getting coffee every morning may not be as beneficial to your overall success or maybe the xbox live account might be determental to your time management skills. Whatever you find yourself willing to sacrifice for achieving your ultimate goal, go ahead and do that. On the plus side there is TONS of free content out there nowadays, and you just have to simply type it into google.
8. I don't know where to even start.
   Like I said, google is your best friend. Type exactly what you are feeling, I'm sure you will find great advice. I know I have. There are so many people that have the same problems as you do.
9. I'm just going to be disappointed in the end.
   This is pessimistic thinking. Everyone who truly is motivated and goes for what they want will have it, you just may experience challenges along the way. If your goal is to get a million dollars, you're damn sure as hell to hit 100k, which is quite a good living. Always set your goals super high, that way you can make yourself 10x the amount you really need. (A great book I recommend for this is 10x rule)
10. God / The Universe has cursed me with no future
    No it hasn't. You are simply thinking that because you are occupying your mind with constant negative self talk and lack gratitude for what you have. Try this. Make a list of 10 things you are thankful for, and each day the first thing you should do is list 3 new things you are thankful for each day. Even something as little as “I'm alive and healthy” is a start. You don't need to get super specific, or general, it really doesn't matter. Get in the habit of counting your blessings and you will start to feel better about your situation.
