It hasn't always been easy for me, and for sure it hasn't been as fast as most other people seem to go. But it has been steady, even with pitfalls and drawbacks. I had one period where my business (the previous version of this one) died a painful death and I was forced to go searching for jobs working for other people. More than 83 applications out, and I got three interviews. Of those, one was expressing interest, and then... nothing.
Needless to say, my response was the same one that got me started doing this in the first place: fine, I'll do it my damned self! And that's how what you see here - which is Version 3.0 of my business - came to be.
The point is, everyone I have talked to, met and dealt with who is a millionaire has certain qualities in common. For one, they believe in themselves. For another, they refuse to quit. Perseverance on tap, and persistence too. Never give up, never surrender. Failure is the path of least persistence and all that.
Another thing that self made millionaires have in common is that when the going gets tough, they stop struggling to run the rat race, and make their own path.
Find what you love to do, and make it pay you.
Of course in the mean time, working for someone else is going to help a lot, but regardless... long term planning that is split up into 3 stages (short, medium, long term) and each stage further split up into bite sized achievable chunks is how it gets done. Whether or not you get off the beaten path and "do it your damned self".
I am just plain amazed, Shannon, how you manage to squeeze listening to all those subliminals into your life.
I mean you are beta-testing all your products, you are developing Alpha Male sets and probably refreshing on them, etc.
It almost seems like you do not have time to listen to anything else, not even music.
