Foolish Adventure

Ha ha. You listened all the way to the end. How’s that for an outtake?

Listening to this I’m thinking the reason many people don’t succeed is because they’re too contrived. They’re focused on receiving money rather than what value they have or could come to control that could become a product or scalable automated service. Even more so, they become defeated before they begin by being conditioned to rely on someone else to tell them how to think instead of cultivating the ability to question, think critically, and persevere on their own using their own analysis of what’s needed in the world around them. People seeking gurus and help for the purpose of being taught how to do something usually are focused on money. That is diametrically opposed to someone who genuinely wants to learn how to do something because the person is compelled to create quality work, loves practicing a particular craft, and wants to share something wonderful with the world.

Tony Robbins, bless him, has an entry level coaching
program fee of $500 monthly just for his trainees to fit his material,
that anyone who’s kept tabs on his work has heard many times before but were too scared to
implement, to their life. That’s what I’d like to call ‘insecurity tax’ and it’s clearly expensive. This is similar to how some businesspeople
say the lottery is a tax for those who are bad at math. I feel the
reason why people don’t implement is because they’re being abstract
and not tactile enough. They’re thinking about what can be done theoretically but not how they specifically would go about doing it themselves which is a point of view that is probably necessary to get from point A to point B.

That said, I wish there was more focus on how to change your environment. I live in a situation where I’ve been conditioned to feel incapable and have had my worse habits enabled. I’m college age, come from a partial minority background, and am confronted with a lot of negativity, insecurity, and sabotage whenever I disclose to family and friends that I intend to achieve anything that isn’t slaving away all day under some close-minded paymaster like they do. I know it’s probably a good idea to practice integrating more with society and articulation instead of using online means to live but thus far I’ve been trying to exercise web options because it seems easier. I can sometimes find myself to be self-conscious in social situations. I know social skill is something anyone can develop with practice so my challenge is to portray the signs of success that will allow people to believe in my abilities, which has been hard to do with my current lifestyle and background. You see, I live in my childhood home and don’t work traditionally. I am self-employed via a nice niche Zazzle store which is live online. I have a lot of pride and am allowed to live here so I have no motivation to suffer the pain of menial jobs that could pay a larger sum more frequently than royalties from my unadvertised web stores because they make me feel undervalued and embarrassed. Entry-level workplaces treat their staff as if they’re morons who are not capable of much more than cleaning and low expectations like those are toxic to my entrepreneurial ambition. I don’t like having to constantly prove myself to be different from stereotype expectations that come with having only a high school level of formal education; alone in my thoughts I can feel the immense potential of all of my ideas. It’s as if a person who doesn’t convey certainty or conversational fluidity when they speak cannot gain trust or good faith for themselves or their ideas. Since I don’t have a person to regularly practice speaking my business ideas verbally in a way that will be well received, I never get a chance to practice being a good entrepreneur. When it comes to influence and when I do give a pitch to someone it comes out in broken language and is unconvincing. On the opposite end, since my father strongly believes in the unfairness of the world, he considers allowing me to stay here without unaccountability to be a benevolent act in an otherwise cold and cruel world. I have no accountability for career growth whatsoever living here and since I have been trained to value comfort and to genuinely feel that family are the only people one can trust, I physiologically have no aversion to staying inside on the internet all day. Hitting rock bottom is basically impossible for my situation unless I forcibly make myself homeless which seems insanely inappropriate given that I don’t feel confident in my ability to survive taking that course of action and am tired of being perceived with inferiority as it is.

During the typical 9-5 hours, I’m at home on an internet-accessible PC and thanks to the Zazzle store I have collected 500USD to invest into either small capitalization stock trading newsletters I’ve found on Investimonials, the creation of a web asset selling digital media products (so far all of my ideas have been quality to the point that they require expert compensation that I always forecast to be outside of my budget), or something else. I usually avoid admitting to this and prefer to hide my flaws but avoiding pain is only going to help to sustain this unideal existence. That’s not something I want to do anymore. Any suggestions about how I can best find an environment that is conducive to developing an entrepreneur’s charisma or create a stream of cash flow that could rival a part-time or full-time job with 500 American dollars is appreciated.
