 Re: having thoughts on throwing in the towel
Wow, Bougie - that's amazing! I'm so glad you turned your life in the direction YOU want to go.
Where are ya' Cody?
It's extremely important (I'm a Mom, so listen up;-) to surround yourself with successful, positive thinkers who get things done, people who have dreams, people you respect, successful people you would like to be like.
For ten years of my life from 20-30 I married a negative, lazy git (why-I don't know) and got anchored to his utterly disfunctional family. I was surrounded by negativity 24/7. I was so depressed I almost killed myself!
Did I achieve what I wanted to do? No.
Was it a waste? No. I did spend ten years working in various other industries and I accumulated all kinds of skills that have paved the way for my life today. I did spend 10 years knowing how I WAS NOT going to spend the REST of my life!
I left the bum, found a fantastic fella who is an eternal optimist and a real action-oriented, go-getter. He just does stuff. He never talks about doing it. And he believes in me and encourages anything I want to do.
We surround ourselves by like-minded, happy successful friends/family who get things done. We don't hang around anyone that is a downer. We climbed from nothing and grossed 1/4 million last year (not just t-shirts, of course) and it didn't even seem like work as we really enjoy what we do. And we work from home! Part-time!
So long story short, eat well, stay fit, have a positive outlook and you will attract like-minded people who can help you on your way. It's funny, but once you surround yourself by your kind of people, things just happen. And they happen in a big way.
And make goals, write them down and actually do them.
Good luck. You CAN do what you want but no-one is going to knock on your door and do it for you.
