Every Day is Saturday | Personal Development with Sam Crowley http://everydayissaturday.com/blog Thu, 02 Sep 2010 10:53:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 The Difference Between Risk And Risky http://everydayissaturday.com/blog/the-difference-between-risk-and-risky/ http://everydayissaturday.com/blog/the-difference-between-risk-and-risky/#comments Thu, 02 Sep 2010 10:51:55 +0000 Sam Crowley http://everydayissaturday.com/blog/?p=617 A funny thing happens when you go for something big – people come from all around to offer their advice.

The irony is that the ones offering advice are some of the most frustrated people on the planet because they didn’t take the shot that you are contemplating.
They stood on the sidelines and watched as others went for their dream.

If you want to be empowered to go for your dream, watch this video. I share some of the craziest advice I received from people when I set out on my entrepreneurial journey. I also give you an easy way of dealing with such nonsense.

In addition – you will understand what the difference is between Risk and Risk-y. A very important distinction you need to make before making a decision on what business to begin.

Your comments are welcome:)

Happy Saturday!

I’ve been a huge Les Brown fan ever since I got dipped into personal development. I love his passion and his self-deprecating humor. If you’re having even the slightest bit of a down day, all you need to do is plug into any of Les’ teachings and your mood will turn around record time.

I have the entire interview posted here on my Motivational Podcast

You must listen to this hour long interview more than once. There was so much awesome information shared, there’s no way you’ll catch everything the first time around.

I’ll be in touch soon about my upcoming virtual boot camp. Exciting times lie ahead for you. Set your sights high and don’t pay attention those who say it can’t be done.
You are a miracle and have the ability to live everyday like it’s Saturday.

My favorite quote form the call last night was “The problem is not that people aim too high and miss, it’s that they aim too low and hit.”

To Your Saturday,
Sam

Motivational Speaker

Next month I will be embarking on a nationwide tour to get out and ‘meet the people’ – in search of champions who have been affected by the Every Day Is Saturday message.

Last year we launched Six Days To Saturday and life as we know it was changed….

For me, for you and for thousands around the world. People began to understand that you don’t need a fancy title to live a fancy lifestyle.

Check out the video below to see how you and I can connect this summer.
(My wife said she got a little scared at the intensity towards the end of the video, you can be the judge….)

Be sure to send me an email sam [at] everydayissaturday.com after watching the video.

Fired Up!

Sam

You and about 99% of the world’s population.

If you’re like most people, you just can’t see how you can go for months with no income while you build your business (you know, that thing that’s been on your mind for the last five years…)

Let me ease your mind.

Question: Why do you think you would go for months with no income? Did someone tell you that was part of the plan?
Granted, you’ll most likely have to cut back a little but to prepare for long periods of time with no money is a poverty mindset.

I’ve coached many people who have earned MORE than what they left behind in their previous job, and it had nothing to do with their dream business.
One guy went from making $2k a month at his job to making $6k a month flipping everything and anything on Craigslist. Seriously. He would buy a refrigerator for $50, take it home and clean it up.
He then would put the same refrigerator back on Craiglist 24 hrs later and sell it for $300.

600% profit.

Was he planning for a life of appliance flipping? Nope.
He was doing a little grunt work like we all do to keep the bills paid and pocket a little cash. Did he need a masters degree to call a few ads and ask about the condition of appliances? Nope.
He needed a phone and a truck.
$6k a month isn’t too shabby when you leave a job paying $2k a month AND you’re building your million dollar brand.

Maybe you don’t want to flip appliances – cool. What can you do? Can you go to Elance and offer your services to a thirsty audience?
Ah Sam, but Elance is so cut throat, I’ll be outbid by everyone from India and Pakistan.
Maybe.
Maybe not.

The point is -
Your job sucks.

Figure out how to bring in money while you’re building your brand – the thing you REALLY want to do for the rest of your life.

Oh by the way, the guy who flipped appliances became a real estate millionaire in less than a year in a terrible economy where no banks were lending money. He wanted success as much as he wanted to take his next breath. A model coaching client and an awesome success story.

You can make excuses or you can make money, but you can’t do both
