When I was a little boy in England, my father said, "If you can find a job that you like, you are going to be happier than 98% of the population."

Here's what I see happening over and over again with young real estate agents and young men and women in other careers - they become miserable under the pressure to succeed; they become slaves to their careers and lifestyles. Why? Because they're rooted in the results. Friends, we can't control the outcome. The secret is learning to be happy, whatever the outcome. The ONLY thing you have control over is your actions.

There's freedom in this. It's about waking up every single day, busting our asses, and staying out of the results.

Let's get into this, friends. Here's this week’s episode of The Creative Entrepreneur.

Golden Nuggets from this episode:

[02:42] “if you can find a job that you like, you are going to be happier than 98% of the population!” My Father

[03:34] “there's a lot of people that drive around in maybe an expensive car and then pull into that one bedroom studio apartment in North Hollywood.”

[04:10] “Would you rather make a million bucks a year doing something that you hate or would you rather open an espresso bar in Vietnam and just have a quality of life that is beautiful?”

[04:48] “the pressure to succeed, makes people miserable it makes them slaves to their careers it makes them slaves to their lifestyles”

[05:38] “expectations, ladies and gentlemen, are freaking toxic”

[09:11] “Everyone I met and meet will get amazing service professionally and personally, that's the key!”

[10:12] “get ready cause the next 18 months are gonna be like sitting in the ring with Mike Tyson, and every time you raise your head from the mat, Mike Tyson is going to smack you down again”

[12:55] “the moment you feel like you are working just for money, is the moment it's over!”

[14:39] “we got a long life, but it goes fast!”

Thanks for being here,
