‘Shortcuts’ and ‘Hacks’, How They Can Hinder Your Progress
The real shortcut, is knowing this… There’s a common thread spun in this business. Finding “shortcuts” and “hacks” so you can get to wealth and freedom faster. Yet, how’s that working out for most folks? Not very well at all. Most think that the opposite of a shortcut is a long, drawn out path to the results they want. But that’s just not the case. It’s just the opposite actually.
Think of it this way…
Let’s say you’re headed off to the grocery store. And you won’t leave your home until you find the quickest path – one where there are no red lights, stop signs or ANY chance of road work, accidents, etc. You’d never get out the driveway, would you? What’s the REAL shortcut or path to take here. It’s to get in your car, and drive straight to the store, with the best path YOU KNOW to take. You EXPECT to hit a few stop signs, red lights, green lights, and maybe even to get stuck in traffic for a beat. And that’ll be OK, right?
Author and professor at Columbia University, Janna Levin, says this…
“I used to resent obstacles along the path, thinking, ‘If only that hadn’t happened life would be so good.’ Then I suddenly realized that life IS the obstacles. There is no underlying path.”
Is that making sense? The underlying path is the HACK and TRICK! The thing is that there is no hacks and tricks. Embrace the obstacles. Take the red lights and stop signs and wrecks as they come. Walk the required walk. Because that’s the reality. That’s life. And… As you build a side-business that can give you an amazing life and a great income, you don’t need hacks and tricks. You just need a plan, and a willingness to see it through, with all the red lights and stop signs… There will be PLENTY of green lights and shortcuts you’ll come across IF you just get your wheels rolling and you’re in gear, steering your car.
Another great piece of advice I heard is as blunt as it sounds!
“Figure it out.”
Whatever barriers you come across, know that we’re in the Information Age. Google it, YouTube it, get a book or course on it, stumble your way through it, in short… Figure it out. ? Just make sure you’re in movement as you do it. Figure it out ALONG the way…
That’s the greatest “hack” I know of that I can give you today!
Many will keep searching year after year for a “hack” that’ll make them filthy rich overnight. They’ll search for no obstacles, no red lights. And it’ll never happen because they are looking at things wrong…
