It's not as great as it sounds. Really.
I did what Bob mentioned in working in a trade, learn, and start your own business. I've always had a mechanic business to fall back on (from my dad's business). I'm not successful yet, but in a niche market I'm doing very good in my 1st year. The sense of direction is the real drive and was the biggest thing missing. Wanting to do better is in everyone. Execution is on you.
I really like Andy Fricilla and the MFCeo project. I'm not a podcast guy. But I love what he says, and everyone can relate. It's easy motivation, and if you have some of the qualities he projects......you know success can be in your future.
