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… )

Can I get What?What?. Hard work, Hard work, Hard work. Nothing in life worth having is just given to you. If you want something – go get it. If you don’t get it at first- figure out how to and keep trying till you do.
Brad, kick a$$ post. You couldn’t say it better!
If there is one thing you taught me- it is to outwork everyone else.
Time waits for no one. Stop talking and get busy doing.
Thanks for reminding us of what’s important

Thanks brotha — you already outwork your competition big time and that’s why I know you’re going to be a huge online success. By the way, that’s a damn good looking website ;-)
amen to that post and to that response from Jim, i’m happy to see this little film, and i’d be thrilled to see my dream come through as well. talking talk is cheap, walking the walk separates the men from the boys. smack it hard and eventually the rock with crumble to give passage to the goal you’ve set.
Hey Guido, thanks my man — I’m giving you a sledgehammer to crack those rocks haha…
