The Power of “Will”!
One of the things that helped me breakthrough and make a living as an online entrepreneur in the past was learning the power of “will”.
I might not be making millions yet but I think there was a point in my life where I broke through. Actually, I was literally “broke” and had nowhere else to go but to the very bottom, that bottom at the bottom of a bottomless pit.
I stressed so much, I drank myself almost to death so I didn’t have to think about my financial worries.
But one of the truly amazing moments came out of that survival stage. That is, that I survived it and did better than anyone expected me to. Everyone around me thought I would eventually “get a job” and move along with my life. I just couldn’t face the horrors of 9-5 work again, thought of being in “legal slavery” under some bs corporation rules just would kill me the rest of my life.
With everything going completely “wrong” in my life, my will to survive (and survive on my blogging business) became stronger than ever.
What I realize now after surviving the worst times in my life is that your “power of will” is probably the most important skill to learn, more than money.
I won’t make this blog post long, I am just saying, “the power of will” is something you should learn.
Here’s some exercises that can help you do that.
1. You need to put yourself in a position where you MUST do something in order to get out. For example, you can take a bus ride to downtown with just enough money to get there but you need to find a way back somehow without using your wallet. (Better yet, please leave your wallet at home for this exercise.)
2. Play golf, golf is a great sport that teaches you “power of will”. Of course, you will need “power of will” and learn “visualization” before you start playing anywhere decent. Play a lot of golf and it can really help your life.
Well, that’s it for today folks. Remember, your power of will is stronger than anything money or muscles can buy/do.

Although I am not sure I want to try your first activity and I am pretty sure I am too short for the second, I do agree. If you have a way out, you will not. But if you have to, you will. I have seen it happen too many times. Great post!

[...] In life and business, this is also true. Greed is one of human’s worst traits and flaws. But you can beat greed with your will power. [...]
