Thought I'd share this with you. It's not about making money, it's about doing what brings joy to your life. Comfort is a very hard habit to break.
Warren Buffett said this: "Chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken."
Listen and I hope this speaks to you in a positive level.
Thanks for your time,

Hi guys, I was driving to work this morning and I'm thinking middle class is not where you wanna be, it really isn't. Why do I say that? Because it's mediocre and what happens with that is that it galvanizes you, it makes you feel like it's good enough. And so what happened with me I worked 20 years at a very good paying job and what it did is it galvanized me from doing anything else because it was hard to leave that job. The hardest decision I ever had to make was to leave that job for Bravo, one of the hardest decisions I ever had to make.
If I was working at Walmart as a door greeter it would've been easy. Nothing wrong with door greeters at Walmart. Dude, if that's what you're doing do it. Be the best door greeter out there. It just wasn't for me. And all my life I heard whether it was my parents, my friends, family around me, "Yeah, man, all you gotta do is get a good job, get a nice little house somewhere and you're going to be fine." It wasn't for me. Twenty years going to work and doing something that I didn't really want to do. That was tough, man, but you know thank God for Bravo, it came in. Three years into Bravo I left that job.
So, guys, again mediocre, you don't wanna be there. Either be unsuccessful or be very successful, because if you're stuck in the middle trust me guys, you're going to get galvanized, you're going to be comfortable and you're never going to do anything. At least if you're under performing and you're grinding it out you're going to get there. Look, guys, quality talent always rises to the top. And so if you're good, the money is gonna follow, and if you're successful well you're already there, right? So, again, guys, just wanted to share that with you, guys. Leave a comment, tell me what you think. Thanks.

Good point. “Good enough,” isn’t.
Who did the background music? I was a nice choice. Too many videos out there with hard rock in the background that detracts from the message.
Right On Rene! Stay motivated and passionate brother! Practice what you’re good at and become great. If you’re great, people will pay you to do it. Your company makes my favorite holsters. Great products that work and I’m glad to pay for them. Thanks for the motivation. God Bless.

I appreciate your integrity and honesty about being caught up in the middle. A false sense of security comes with being in the middle/comfortable/convenient. That’s not what life is about, more over being “stagnant” does not contribute to well being.
You want to climb, to rise, to learn and to own your own destiny. So when a little complication arises, or issues come up, show them what your made of and accept the challenge and succeed. It helps define who we are and keeps out soul rising.
Thanks again.
