You are Not Eminem

You always have an opportunity

Unless you live under a rock, you most definitely heard Eminem’s famous lyric under a military-like drum beat

Here is a song to refresh your memory:

The lyric?

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo

Sounds very similar to Crypto Dicks (they lost the status of bros)

Both lyrics, headlines, and interviews put untold pressure on you, which is undeserved.

If you want to come out ahead, you have to be patient and have a larger runway:

And when something unproven does well, phenomenally so, rest assured, the common-sense way of improving your lot in life will as well.

No asset is an island.

Only the ignorant buy a non-producing asset with only 20 years of existence and stack it unless they use it daily.

Yes, maybe they are billionaires, and my first employee is amongst this cohort (probably a millionaire)

But nevertheless, you don’t buy and hold things on blind faith

What you do is you hone your craft, study, research, and NETWORK with the best set of people you can find to get you to where you want to be.

No man is an island.

Sure, I get it, we all want to win the lottery. Win America’s Got Talent.

But not many really win. Do they?

(Rule of thumb:

Any get-rich scheme never works unless you are from North Korea or China.)

My observation has been:

You work into things, and finally, there will be one thing you truly love and have a passion for, and you’ll be ready for it

Always good to be a little out of your comfort zone, and sometimes opportunities do arise, but if you are not ready, you are not ready

But when you are and the opportunity arises, you will rise to the occasion

Like TEAM USA - Jack Hughes & Company

They trained a lifetime to get there, and they won

Do you think I just jumped into AI to develop software with a Film degree?

Or due to an unforeseen event, triggered something that I never knew in a million years I would be involved in?

Or how I answered a girl’s phone instead of opening the door to a girl in front of me, in a cab, and the one who became my wife and the one who opened the door became his wife?

Life’s funny.

So be passionate.

When I win, I celebrate.

And so should you. If you didn’t feel like it, you didn’t put in the time.

For subscribers, I put in extra time to prepare you for the wonderful opportunities in front of you now and in the future.

Once prepared, you will have the confidence to attack, albeit hopefully a little earlier than overtime
