If You Dont Like Where You Are, MOVE. You Are Not A Tree<\/h2>\n
I absolutely love this saying “If You Don’t Like Where You Are, MOVE. You Are Not A Tree” because it is so true. Society nowadays love to watch the negative news and generally moan. Instead go out and take action to create your own luck<\/a> because you are the master of your own destiny. Hard work and graft might not come easy to you but Will Smith sums this up perfectly:<\/p>\n \u201cThe only thing that I see that is distinctly different about me is I’m not afraid to die on a treadmill. I will not be out-worked, period. <\/em>You might have more talent than me, you might be smarter than me, you might be sexier than me, you might be all of those things you got it on me in nine categories. But if we get on the treadmill together, there’s two things: You’re getting off first, or I’m going to die. It’s really that simple, right?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n You’re not going to out-work me. It’s such a simple, basic concept. The guy who is willing to hustle the most is going to be the guy that just gets that loose ball. The majority of people who aren’t getting the places they want or aren’t achieving the things that they want in this business is strictly based on hustle. It’s strictly based on being out-worked; it’s strictly based on missing crucial opportunities. I say all the time if you stay ready, you ain’t gotta get ready.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n There has been a huge cultural shift with the internet, social media and mobile devices. Everything from ordering your weekly food shopping to placing a bet online is at your fingertips. As these technological shifts happen\u00a0many businesses get left in the dust because they\u2019re too comfortable with their current success that they do not move with the times. You cannot afford to be complacent when the technology is moving so god damn fast.<\/p>\n Crazy right this heading to push yourself into losing daily?<\/p>\n What I mean by this is people do not realise how far they can push themselves. Push yourself to the limits so you know the boundaries.<\/p>\n Get out your comfort zone and push yourself because all failures are steps you take to learn and develop.<\/p>\n Your success is driven by your daily routine. I train my team and use this quote regularly for them:<\/p>\n If it does not challenge you then it wont change you!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n So if you want to progress, develop and improve your life, work, relationships and finances then you need to be challenging yourself more.<\/p>\n Remove the word ‘lose’ out of your vocabulary and replace it with learning.<\/p>\n So every time you lose or fail that is great because means you are learning.<\/p>\n A comfort zone is a nice place to be but nothing ever grows there or is exciting.<\/p>\n People who strive for success walk away from their comfort zone and constantly challenge themselves to develop daily.<\/p>\n This heading sounds a bit cheesy but it is so true. Let’s look at recent history to prove this. Do you remember that small idea called Uber<\/a>? How people thought this was a terrible idea, because who the hell would want to get into a vehicle with a stranger? Well, Uber is now the largest car service in the world and the best part about all this is they do not own a single car. The truth around this is in today’s world generally this is how great new innovative ideas pan out:<\/p>\n Another classic example of this is AirBNB<\/a>. Two skint guys called\u00a0Joe Gebbia and Brian Chesky were struggling to pay their rent. So they decided to try and rent out three airbeds in their living room as a conference was nearby. Surely no one would want to go online and book a place to stop with strangers. No that could never work haha. Well now from this initial airbed rental night they have developed and grown AirBNB to be with over $30 million. The best part of this again is they do not even own the accommodation but came up with a simple concept. Hopefully, you are now getting where I’m coming from guys.<\/p>\n Here are some key takeaways I believe everyone should embrace. There is only one person who can improve your attitude and your life and that is you. If you do not like your 9-5 job or you’re bored at home then you are the only person to blame for this. The secret of getting ahead of the game is simply to start, so do not use the excuse you have no time because that is bullshit. Have a read of this article about being too busy because it is a lame excuse<\/a> used by too many people. Here are my takeaways:<\/p>\n I have created a full article about the digital world so go and read up on this in more detail here<\/a>. But basically, as the internet has evolved then we should be doing the same to adapt to this. The retail landscape is changing frequently. Bricks and mortar shops are the dinosaurs of retail nowadays.<\/p>\n If your store is not online or you are not able to deliver to your customer’s door then are you even open for business. Get yourself found online within Google search or on social media. If you need to learn SEO<\/a> then start doing this today because like you would try to improve your sales techniques if you are struggling to sell then why not improve your marketing knowledge to get the initial leads in the first place.<\/p>\n If you start to learn the basics of SEO<\/a> then you will come across the terms white hat, grey hat and black hat. White Hat Agencies mock Black Hat as being spammers but my opinion on this is that the black hatters generally just know how to manipulate the results in Google better. However me personally<\/a> I do not consider myself to be any of white, grey or black hat. I like to see myself as wearing an ROI Hat. If something works well in marketing to get my business’s return on investment then I would look into doing this.<\/p>\n This may sound really harsh but again it is about embracing change and dealing with it. If you have never heard of stoicism then I would recommend you read up on this. People will voluntarily discomfort themselves to prepare for misfortune. Here are some stoicism examples<\/a> where they try to prepare themselves to be stronger. A great video explaining stoicism is here if you want to understand more on it:<\/p>\n![\"try](\"https:\/\/www.fatrank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/try-again-fail-better-150x100.jpg\")
