You’re Broke. You’re A Loser. And You Could Care Less.

Here’s the deal: nearly every broke person in the world has the same lame attitude. “Woe is me! I’m broke and it’s out of my control. I would be making all the money I could ever want if it just weren’t for my extreme toenail fungus disease.” … To weird and gross? Who cares, it could be any other number of uncontrollable outside forces that keep you from making the money you think you truly desire.
Because making excuses… that’s easy. Things that are outside of your control are–just that–outside of your control. You can’t possibly expect yourself to really go for it when you know you have to be up early tomorrow morning for work. Or you couldn’t possibly put pen to paper to begin to realizing your dreams, when that new prime-time show CSI: I’ve Seen This Before is on in 5 minutes.
This is why you’re broke. This is why 80% of
All it takes is for YOU to DECIDE. Decide you are not going to put it off another second. Decide you are no longer going let outside forces dictate your dreams. Decide the only way to realize your dreams is to begin taking action immediately. Decide TODAY—right now is the time for change.
As soon as you finish reading this article. THE SECOND YOU FINISH. Begin taking action. Make your first step. Don’t wait even five minutes. Or until you get off work. Stop making excuses!
Don’t know where to start? Then your first step should be to read Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Read it before? GOOD! Read it AGAIN (repetition breeds skill)! Your first step should be to read Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Read it before? GOOD! Read it AGAIN (repetition breeds skill)! Don’t have a copy? Search for “Think and Grow Rich ebook”. You’ll find plenty available for free as a download.

Remember them, write them, and begin to take action. As soon as you begin to take action you’ll begin to flourish. Study. Read. Act. And NEVER STOP.

This is the very first time I have read a post such as this, where an actual book mentioned in the post is available for a free download! Pretty awesome.
I too believe in think and do, try. However, dont be too hard on folks who talk but don’t take immediate action, some times life puts us in a place where you see no recourse anymore. This generally is stripped away over time this block, however some do not have the time or rather don’t think they do.
I appreciate the post, it even motivated me, and I will let you know what I think of this book ….heres to our futures!
Seems like good advice but how well do you think it really works? I’ve found that whenever you give simple, direct, easy advice to the masses, you get like 98% of them that screw it up for both the 2% and 98% of the 2% that had potential the last time the masses were told.
In other words, wouldn’t it be better to find a few capable people and just guide them more personally?
Go ahead! Open a mentoring program! Do it now! Just do it! Twenty people for one month could equal $6k or more! Do it now! Just do it!

That is a great idea. Unfortunately, at this point in my life I may be the one needing the mentoring.
As soon as I get a grip on life, and find my way to personal and financial fortune, I will gladly provide a mentoring program to whoever would accept it.
