29. Being A Super Successful Businessman Is NOT For Every Man.

I don’t care what the gurus and coaches tell you. Most of them made money putting asses in seminar seats and pushing book sales, NOT in business. But boy, will they sell you a dream they couldn’t even acquire on their own. They love to pump out misinformation, which gives you no chance to succeed.

Let’s face it, most men today are TOO weak. A strong drink and a good f-ck would kill most of them. You’re not going to work 4 hours a week; you’re going to work 120. You’re not going to be sipping mojitos and napping at the beach; you’re going to sleep in the office!

Understand that it doesn’t matter if you’re working 12 hours a day, you could be “busy” for 12 hours a day in reality. There’s a difference between working smart and staying busy.

30. Kiss A Lot Of Frogs.

Life is a numbers game, regardless if you’re asking out women or trying to acquire financing. If you want to see entrepreneurial success, you must always be kissing frogs! Twenty women may turn down your request to take them home for the night, but the twenty-first woman may very well agree. Yet, most men can’t take that kind of hit to their ego or emotional bank account!

In business, you’ll be met with calls that are hung up on you, abusive callbacks, and flat-out refusals to talk. What divide the men from the boys are persistence and focus. Very few are willing to make a thousand phone calls when it comes to getting financing.

After a handful of rejections, most men quit. They proclaim, “I can’t get financing,” “No one will invest in my idea,” etc. ALL of them, excuses! There is a sucker out there who will invest in anything, including your idea, but only if you take the time to find them first.

31. Expand In A Down Cycle.

Double your work effort when times are difficult. Tough times don’t last; tough businessmen do. It’s a reminder of what Henry Ford once said, “A man who stops advertising to save money is like a man who stops a clock to save time.“
