If you don't have common sense, you’re not gonna make it.

We live in a world where people got college degrees and can't even get a job.

That's sad.

Do you know what will guarantee you work whether as an entrepreneur on your own, or working for somebody else in a great job?

The ability to see the big picture, have common sense and take action. It's so important to be able to give people insight and not just be a robot.

Guess how much money you're gonna make being a robot?

Minimum wage.

I’m not making fun of people who work in that environment, I'm just giving you the way the economy and life works. If you go back to any period of time, that has always been the norm.

If you just take orders, there's not much of a future for you. You need to be someone who makes decisions.

I want to give you some tips that will get you a job without a degree:

Common Sense
First, understand common sense isn't common. A lot of us think, “common sense is common.”

No, common sense is an acquired skill just like if you want to learn Spanish or Mandarin, Chinese. You have to acquire that skill through study, through repetition and listening to other people teach you.

Find a coach, a mentor, or teacher.

I thought I had common sense till I went to work for my first mentor Joel Salatin and he was like, "Look man, you don't know jack about life. You don't understand anything." I thought I did. I had gone through high school, I was a smart student, but in terms of putting together the big picture, I struggled.

Hi, I often tell people that genius is not so much talent as it is attitude… You see, your attitude is the environment you decide to carry with you during the day. It proclaims to the world what you think of yourself and indicates the sort of person you have made up your mind to be. A genius attitude is deciding that you can do well at anything you make up your mind to do. When you do that, you give the project all you’ve got, and in doing so, attract the favorable attention of others. Attitude is one of the most commonly used and yet most misunderstood words in the English language. However, if you understand what attitude really is, you’ll know how to bring the best of you to the surface every day... To your success, Bob Proctor Chairman & Co-Founder Proctor Gallagher Institute
How can you be way happier, less depressed, have less anxiety and fear?  Let's talk about this book,  "The Happiness Advantage" . It's pretty interesting. "The Happiness Advantage" is  an international best seller and talks about the seven principles of positive psychology that fuel success and performance at work.  What are the seven? The happiness advantage number one, the fulcrum and the lever number two, the tetris effect number three, falling up number four, the zorro cycle number five. Number six, the 20 second rule, and number seven, social investment.  It's a good book. Just finished doing my book of the day, and I thought I'd share it with you. I'll just give you a few little points, not going to go through the whole book. Find something to look forward to. So, I'm going to give you three tips that I thought were interesting in this book. If you've been in a funk, if life's been hard, if you've been feeling do...
Why is this email important? Well if you care about your business it is! OK now that that's out of the way let me tell you why you need to keep reading this.  Imagine that you have the world’s greatest company. Now imagine that you want to share your service or product with the world and make a living off it. It makes sense, right? An awesome company is going to sell on its own, it’ll be a huge hit! Simple math (Great product = tons of sales) Now reality is settling in, those initial customers you had aren’t singing your praises. They're content but once they’ve purchased it they’re gone. What happened?  What’s missing here? It’s simple. Marketing.  You have a great service, but no one knows about it! And how would your potential consumers know? They can’t read your mind and find it. Unless you're showing people ads they’ll never know you exist. It’s a sad truth but a truth nonetheless. Marketing exists to sell services. Social Marketing S...
