1. There is no such thing as a free lunch.
2. Anything worthwhile is going to require work, dedication, and sacrifice.
3. As in most things in life, we start out at the bottom...see # 1 and 2.
4. Every day that I go to work, I'm working with folks who are pursuing their dream. None of them complain about their working conditions or the status of the industry. They are far too busy trying to be part of that industry.
5.. Beware of the quitters and failures who want you to become part of their pity party. Don't join in their self-fulfilling prophesy.
6. Nor should you waste time with what once was...deal with what is and how to maximize that for you.
The golden ring is out their for you. Grabbing it won't be easy...but people do it every day. You can be part of that if you only do your part. Go to success...it won't come to you.
