Dude,

Listen. I know you wil never believe me but...

I was in your position... OFTEN!

If you only had an idea what happened to me you would instantly feel like you have it good. Not going to get into it but just know this...

I quit my job and only after I quit did I start looking into wholesaling.

Money went away FAST. It was the crappiest time of my life. Then finally I got a contract accepted (not sigbed) and the day she was going to sign it she stopped returning my calls. I CRIED!!

A grown friggin ape... I cried!

It was hell. But you know what I never did? Give up.

Because my situation was SO bad, I had no choice but to step up. I have no one in the USA> I don't have a mom or dad or a brother sister or aunt I could ask for help if this didnt go through. I am not even american so I can't just go to Mc D and apply for a job if poop really hit the fan.

So the simply fact was...

Failure was not an option. So I stepped up.  I did research and I figured out what the best way was to make it big. I am very used to reaching any goal I set forth. I know I can do anything and that was my superpower. I am smarter than I look and I have a drive unlike any other person.

I did what I had to do and I do everything better than anyone else. Just a fact. (Not an easy task to build robots for NASA being a foreigner!)

So now after a ton of hardships...

Let this be your motivation. I stepped up, so can you.

HOWEVER, don't EVER again rely on other people to give you motivation. No one showed ME fancy pics of what you could accomplish if you keep jugging. No. I had to find my own strength from within.

THAT made me stronger, my skin thicker, self reliant and a freaking force to be reckoned with in my market.

THAT is where I draw my strength from when I am down. Knowing no one can better me. True or not, who cares. Believing this gives me strength and that is what matters.
