From Margaritas.... to Money.
 

Today's fucking lesson.

"What the fuck? Why does business suck? Why am I not makng any money? What do I do?

#1. Business does not suck. You suck at business.
#2. You are not making any money because you suck at business.
#3. What you do, is STOP sucking at business.

Too simplistic? Okay. Fair enough.

#1. You are NOT in this business to look at porn all day. And if you think you are, you have already lost. You are not in this (or ANY) business to make "friends". You are in it to make MONEY. How you go about this may take on many different forms. (including making "friends") But do not paint your own picture with paint made from cowshit. They are BUSINESS ASSOCIATES. Not friends. Friends comes later. After you have established a solid working relationship. And not before.

#2. SMARTEN UP! Know your capacity. Know what you can and cannot do. And don't bullshit people about it. There's a fine line between fudging on a resume and flat out claiming professional expertise in something you cannot provide. If there is something that you feel you need to do, but are incapable of doing, then hire it ut, or commit yourself to the Learning Process, and see it through.

#3. Establish.... IN WRITING.... YES!!! IN FUCKING WRITING!!! Your business doctrine (beliefs), goals, strategies, and tactics. Write the fucking shit down, because you will not remember it tomorrow.

#4. Make yourself as many fucking lists as you need... then make some more. Stick them up all over your workspace. Stick them on your fucking monitor if you need to. Remind yourself daily why you are sitting there.

#5. KNOW YOUR SHIT!!!! (this one may take a while to finish.) I mean it... find some aspect of the industry that you particularly enjoy or are good at, and take that fucker to the extreme.... and beyond. Good at graphics? Make the most killer fucking graphics anyone has ever seen. Build it. Develop it. Work it. Improve it. Test it. Then fucking delete it and start over, because you're better than that. Make it so fucking good that your own girlfriend will cream over it. Then delete it and start over. Make the best shit you could ever possibly make..... then show it to some colleagues.... and when they tell you ..."Hey, that's pretty good".... interpret that as.... "you are fucking lame". And make some new shit that will command nothing but eyes popping out of their skulls! THIS!!!!! is how it is done. There is NO shortcut. You wanna be the best? Guess what..... it takes a long fucking time to get there.

NOTE: This step may be skipped for those who simply cannot devote themselves to this much reading. And I DO encourage it, because it will only mean more money in MY pockets.

#6. Start networking. SHUT UP!!! I'm not talking about adding an extra NIC to your crappy Winblows ME system. I'm talking about knowing what you can do, and making that known to other KEY people. This will take some saavy.... you can't just spam your shit out and hope to be successful.

okay... gotta cut it short... dinner's on... and there's a new batch of Margaritas ready so I gotta go.... more later.

I love you.

How come when I say thing like that, I am an asshole? I guess I need to sugarcoat it more.
