“So today… I don’t know what’s happened… But last night, it was around about 8:30 p.m. I just had dinner – made a king prawn curry with whole grain rice and some sweet potato chips (fries for those of you in the USA).

Now, immediately after eating that – got to around about 8:45 almost 9 p.m. and I said… I turned to Robyn, I said, “Y’know, I actually feel a little bit tired.”

We’d just watched an episode of The Blacklist, a series that I love, that I’m following. I don’t watch a lot of television, but I do love a few things – The Blacklist is one of them. Good ol’ Raymond Reddington!

Been Reading So Many Books, Like At Least Two A Week

So we’d just finished watching that, and then she put something else on that I’m not fussed by. And I said, “Y’know, I’m feeling a bit tired. I’m gonna go to bed and read.” I think I’ve been talking about this a lot recently.

I Have Been Consuming So Much Knowledge At The Moment

So many books – literally, like at least two a week on average I’d say.

And so, I headed off to bed before 9 p.m. last night, which is pretty early for me. I’m lying in bed and I’m reading… I read for about 4 to 5 minutes, and then I got too tired, put the book down, went to sleep.

Now my sleeping, my body clock, lets me normally sleep for anywhere between 6 to 8 hours. I like to get 8 hours if I can. But y’know, 6, 7, 8 hours – somewhere usually around there.

3 A.M. Came Around And BOOM, I Was Wide Awake, Could Not Sleep

Today happened to be more closer to 6 hours. Because 3 o’clock came along and BOOM! I was wide awake – could not sleep. So I actually read for another two hours in bed. The cool thing is, I’ve got a Kindle Fire. So I don’t have to put the lights on and disturb Robyn, cos it’s got a back-lit screen.

So I read for two more hours. Got up, got ready. Now it’s just before 7:00 a.m. and I’m on the way to start and dominate my day. And that’s something I just want to talk about. It’s not about getting up early or anything like that – it’s just kind of what started my day off today, and how that all came about.

But as an entrepreneur… Actually, as a person, as a human… I want you to know that…

You’re The Captain Of Your Ship, Controller Of The Life That You Live

You Are The Captain Of Your Ship, The Controller Of Your Destiny

…The controller of each and every one of your days – the controller of your future.

And you choose how you live, right? You are the controller of that – you are the captain of your ship. This life that you live – you are the captain of it. You are the one in charge, you are the one that makes your choices. You’re the one that chooses to do something, or not do something… And there’s no middle ground.

People say, “Ah, that wasn’t in my control.” Well y’know, usually when you trace things back, many things are in your control. Now, I know there are certain things that are not, Obviously not everything is in everybody’s control 100% of the time. But you get the drift of what I’m talking about, I’m sure.

Choose To Live With Purpose, ‘Cos You Don’t Know What’s Around The Corner

You have to choose to live life how you want to live. And choose to live with purpose. You have to choose to be fulfilled. You have to make choices that dictate how your life is gonna go.

I’m continually reminded… It wasn’t that long ago I was attending a funeral for one of my old bosses, where I used to work… Incidentally, back in 2004 when I first discovered people were making money online, the people that I used to work for, were actually family friends as well – friends of my mum.

Sadly she passed away, and she was a similar sort of age to my mum actually. When you think about this stuff, you just don’t know what’s coming around the corner. And…

You See So Many People Just Drifting Through Life

Some People Say, “This Is ‘Woo-Woo’. This Is All Woo-Woo Nonsense!”

There’s so many people living ‘negatively’. They think, “I’m not where I want to be because of this.” Or, “I’m not happy because of that person”, or, “…that circumstance.” Or y’know, “Well, it’s not my fault.”

And I think sometimes, it’s like… If I look back when I’ve had those frames of mind myself, you’re really not helping yourself. And one of the things I’ve learned – and some people say, “This is ‘woo-woo’. This is all woo-woo nonsense.”

But I truly, truly believe in the power of your mind – the power of positivity – and the power of belief.

How To Succeed In Business And In Life

Y’know, the problem that most people have is… It’s very easy to be confident and positive when things are going good in life…

How Many Knocks Can You Take, And Still Tackle The Day Head-On?

It is NOT easy to have that same mentality, when things are going against you. When things are failing, struggling, aren’t going right – when things that you worked hard on, go wrong – when things that you strive towards, don’t play out how you’d hoped.

It is not easy to be motivated and get up every day, fighting, when the chips are stacked against you, and you feel like nothing’s going your way. Everything you do goes wrong, everything you try doesn’t work. It is not easy to keep getting up.

But as Rocky Balboa said…
