What’s Your Drug Of Choice?

by Brad Campbell in Lifestyle

You wouldn’t know it by looking at me or talking to me, but I love rap music.

Well, music in general.  But especially hip hop and rap.  It’s never been much about the exact words in the actual songs – but more about the beat, the energy, the passion and even the struggle that’s evident in many of the lyrics.

Those things always stood out and gave me such a high whenever I hit play.

This short and embarrassing clip is essentially what I feel (in case you haven’t made fun of anyone yet today):

Corny, I know.  What can I say, I march to the beat of a different drum.  Anyways…

I leverage this euphoria to overcome and conquer in areas of life specific to me.  When I was in high school, that meant hitting more three pointers in basketball or setting a personal best at a track meet.  In college, it meant better workouts to inch my way closer to a shredded physique.

And these days, it means flipping the bird to the haters… to my inner voice that’s constantly telling me I can’t do something… or to any other “thing” that’s trying to hold me back in business.

Why I’m Not Scared To Work Hard

by Brad Campbell in Lifestyle

My dad is probably the hardest worker I know.

A few days ago marked his 39th year at his blue collar factory job.  And yes, he’s still going strong — even working overtime most weeks.

In those 39 years, I’m pretty sure he’s NEVER taken a single sick day.

Thankfully, he instilled that same hustle into me at a very young age.  Of course, twenty years ago, I thought he was the meanest person alive… but now I get it.

See, because I’ve been comfortable with working hard my whole life, it was relatively easy for me to out-grind other affiliates when it came to online marketing.

Seven months ago, I came across another equally powerful “reason” to continue working diligently at growing my Internet empire.  That reason’s name is Caleb ;-)

All the money in the world couldn’t bring me anywhere near the satisfaction that thirty-something-second iPhone clip just did…

… but, you know what?

It takes the money to buy the free time required to capture moments like that. 

Internet marketing didn’t gift me that moment, or any of the other moments I’m so fortunate to experience by being home chilling with my little man all day long.

Nope.

Work ethic, unrelenting determination and having a clear reason for wanting the “dot com lifestyle” are what made Internet marketing work for me.

Define your purpose.  Drill down until you’ve found those one or two emotional triggers that will drive you towards success, no matter how tough it gets.

Cause it will get tough.

And once you’ve done that, work as hard as you can TODAY so you can spend more time doing what really matters, TOMORROW…

(… and every day thereafter… )
