We\u2019ve got a lot to talk about today.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When I started out in IM I was in school, didn\u2019t have any job prospects, and I absolutely HATED the idea of working for somebody else. The fear that the average person has of not having a job and having no control over what happens to them, that\u2019s what I have of going in to a gig every day and knowing I have to appease\u00a0some guy<\/em>\u00a0every day or get thrown out on my ass.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cLOOK OUTSIDE OF YOURSELF.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But when you\u2019re in a bad situation it\u2019s god damn close to impossible to push yourself up. You will really need to look outside of yourself for the intial push of focus and motivation. And that\u2019s okay.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Thanks to the internet, there are plenty of new experiences you can have for free or for cheap. This isn\u2019t exactly a plan for when your situation is desperate \u2013 here\u2019s what you can do when your entire\u00a0life<\/em>\u00a0is desperate and you need to give yourself a \u201cmental reboot\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span>Take A Few Days Off<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n
\n

If you can afford to take the week away from your business, do it. If you can take two or three days away from it, do it. You know when we were kids in school, we would get a couple days to take a break. And if you\u2019re working a 9 to 5 gig, you usually get a couple of days off.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When you\u2019ve decided to become self-employed, there\u2019s a positive in that hey, you\u2019re the person responsible for your financial outcomes and your financial future. But there\u2019s a problem lurking underneath this freedom, which is that you\u2019re basically working\u00a0all the time<\/em>. So, measure your hours and also give yourself some time and some room to\u00a0rest and relax<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Your results from your business have nothing to do with the amount of stress you put into it.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Take some time and don\u2019t think about money at all. And when you\u2019re doing this, rest in an active way \u2013 go see a free show, go for a walk, volunteer, work out \u2013 don\u2019t just sit and watch TV or play video games. There\u2019s nothing evil or wrong with this, but it kind of switches your brain off and runs through time. You\u2019ll look up, those two days will be over, and you\u2019ll be in the same place emotionally. You don\u2019t want that.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span>Mindset Therapy<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n
\n

You know, the fastest way to learn a language is to immerse yourself in it \u2013 now, maybe you can\u2019t afford to pay a zillion dollars to go to a motivational seminar in person, but you can \u2013 you CAN immerse yourself in positive energy and motivation. So, here\u2019s the stuff that really\u00a0saved my ass<\/em>\u00a0when I was in the depths of hopelessness and depression.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span>\u201cNo Excuses\u201d The Power Of Self Discipline (by Brian Tracy)<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n
\n

I was so angry and upset at myself because I was \u201csmart\u201d but couldn\u2019t seem to get anything done. I\u2019d get up and WANT to achieve and slowly get seduced by distractions, frustrations, exhaustion, the demands of friends and family members. And at the end of the day, I\u2019d have nothing to show for it, I\u2019d be broker and angrier than I was before.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This is the book that explained a lot of stuff that I suspected about my life and the people around me and just never clicked together.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
