Average is the enemy, That Success is your responsibility and Change can take place in an instant when you decide to flip the switch.

The things I once thought were impossible in my life became possible because of one thing. Daily discipline.

The time I go to sleep. The time I wake up. The food that I eat. The workout that I do. The reading that I do.

Everything else follows from those daily discipline habits, one habit stacking on top of the other. I just kept doing that and when I looked back I could not recognize the person I had become. Someone I never dreamed I would be. And here I am in the position I once dreamed of a long time ago.

And that is the secret to getting rich, getting fitter, living a more fulfilled life and having more freedom. Choose your daily discipline now.
Hard now, easy later.

Do what you say you are going to do. That is it.

That is the fastest way to gain respect from your family, the people around you, your clients, your employers and your business. People will start looking at you differently because you are the person who keeps their word. And this is not only for men, this goes for women as well regardless of gender.

Say what you are going to do and do it. Your life will not change instantly but in six months to a year you will be a completely different person that everyone around you admires.

Working online gave me everything I wanted and quietly took something from me at the same time.

An important thing I learned recently when I started working online is that my focus dropped and my phone usage increased a lot. All my work depends on my phone and laptop screen and that led to an addiction, not just on doing important work but also getting hooked on things that are completely irrelevant to me. That spread into other areas of my life as well, my workouts, my discipline and my daily habits.

Now that I have realized it and I am working to improve my situation and I will share with you all what the solution is.

The effort you put in today will dictate the life you have tomorrow.

I have a close friend who says he wants to become successful, make more money and travel the world. But his actions are not fully aligned with what he is saying. He gets motivated for a day and then you find him back scrolling on social media, coming up with excuses like he will do it tomorrow, he is tired, his friends are calling for a meetup, not today. Then he repeats the same process all over again. Gets motivated for a day and the next day he is back to his old habits.

If this is you, there needs to be a change. And that is why the effort you put in today will dictate the life you have tomorrow.

Making a lot of money is not as hard as you think it is.

It is just doing things that are uncomfortable for extended periods of time. Being disciplined in all areas that grow you, investing in yourself, and doing the boring stuff consistently for a long time.

What a lot of people do is give up in the middle, just before they start seeing signs of the effort they put in. If you are reading this and you are willing to put the work in ahead of time, making more money will not be hard for you. It will flow for you.

[Shakeel Samsudeen @_shakeel_19]

Winning and losing is all part of life and what makes it worth living. The most successful people failed many times in their lives but they all had one thing in common. They never gave up just because they lost. That made them better and taught them lessons more valuable than anything else. Remember that winning and losing is all part of life and you have to go through both to get where you want to be.

[Shakeel Samsudeen @_shakeel_19]

You are more excited about a movie or a match than your own dreams. Let that sink in.

If you are watching TV, movies, series, dramas and sports every day, what are you actually doing? You are putting more energy into things that give you nothing back than into your own goals. Cut it off if you have big dreams, or at least for a period of time until you reach a certain level. If you cannot do that then you better forget your big dreams and goals because big dreams with little effort will never work. I believe you can turn your dreams into reality. But you have to want it more than the next episode.

Almost anyone can get rich if they do what they say they are going to do. No excuses.

It is as simple as that. Do what you say you are going to do and that alone will make you more valuable to other people and rich in the long run.

This is why most people are not good at life. They cannot do what they say they are going to do. Master the small things first, the daily day to day things. Master those and then move to the bigger things. If you cannot do the small things you say you are going to do it will reflect on everything else in your life. You lose trust. Nobody can bet on you.

The only way forward is to do what you say you are going to do.

If you are not making enough money it is because you chose to be that way.

With technology improving the way it has, the barrier to becoming financially free has gone down by more than half compared to 10 or 20 years ago. If you look properly there are so many opportunities out there to become financially independent. Stop complaining and figure out how you can provide value. Whether you want to be rich or broke, remember that is because you chose it and nobody else is responsible for that but you.

Everyone wants a great life. Almost nobody is willing to pay for it.

If you go online you can see so many people who want more out of their life, who want to travel more, make more money, and live an extraordinary life. That does not come for free. It comes with a cost.

You can see it clearly on weekends. They stay home, party, drink alcohol, hang out with friends and do things that will never generate the life they say they want. Then they go back to work on Monday. What they do not realise is that it is just temporary effort required to have a great life for a lifetime. And they are not willing to do that.

[Shakeel Samsudeen @_shakeel_19]

Today was one of the good days where I learned a good lesson. When I was doing cold calls, one experienced person in the field with over thirty years of experience told me not to call on weekends, Saturday or Sundays, because they are not going to answer the phones. I was in a situation of wanting to give up, exhausted from not being able to do more calls. But I just kept going, one by one, doing what I had to do and not letting my emotions take over. And then I was able to find a client who was interested. It made me realize that the quote is true. Temptation is greatest when you are about to succeed.

Three years working inside different companies taught me more about business than eleven years of school ever did.

I learned more about business in those three years than my entire school education. In school we all do theory. We never actually see what it is like in business. In reality once you get into the field you learn the different ways of marketing, sales, HR, admin and so much more on how to drive leads and grow a business.

It has just been three years that I have been on this journey of learning business while doing it, working for different companies before that. I learned more in those last three years than my entire eleven years of school education.

The most freeing thing you can do for yourself is learn how to live on your own terms.

It is always better to learn how to live alone because once you do that you stop depending on anybody else. Your family, your friends, the people around you, they are all going to move on one day and you have to be in charge of your own life, not them. By adapting to living alone and being on your own, you become bulletproof to almost anything life throws at you. You become unstoppable. And that is one of the greatest things a human being can achieve.

[Shakeel Samsudeen @_shakeel_19]

Sales taught me more about entrepreneurship than anything else I have done. By doing sales I learned a lot about entrepreneurship because those are the same characteristics required for both. The amount of rejections you face and still moving forward is exactly what it requires in sales and in entrepreneurship. One of the biggest lessons I learned is to keep going regardless of how many times you get rejected.

@simonsquibb Exactly!

Stop selling your time.

It's the most expensive thing you'll ever own. And the only thing you can't make more of.

Selling time doesn't scale. You can't work 25 hours a day, no matter how hard you push.

That's why the wealthiest people you know don't trade hours for money. They own things that earn for them while they sleep.

They don't teach you this at school. For a reason.

Your boss won't teach you this either. For a reason.

[Shakeel Samsudeen @_shakeel_19]

When you are 80 years old you would spend every resource you have just to go back to when you were in your 20s, so live in the moment because right now you would trade everything to be back to where you once were when you were young. Do not forget to live, be more present with the people around you, with yourself, and be grateful for where you are right now in life because the life you are currently living is something you once dreamed of. Those small things may seem minor right now but they are everything when you are young.

Nobody becomes the first millionaire in their family by accident.

Reaching the top, becoming the first millionaire in your family, in your bloodline, it's all the work that you do when it is boring. The boring work that you do every day for a long period of time that compounds day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year. Eventually you will get to a point you dreamed of and you look back and realize it is the boring stuff that made you get to the top. And it is no surprise. You paid every bit of it to be where you are.
