Red and Blue team

I remember when I was young and depressed seeking an escape from the world. My life was dull and lathagic lacking any color. There was no focus to my lense and hence nothing to capture. Brain dead, I switched on the television set and a game was on. I had nothing to do and so I watched. The team with the red and blue colors played exquisite football. It was moving around in trigonometric patterns and sequences around the field. It was shared and distributed all around the field, it was one touch football. They kept the zones small and the opponents chased ceaselessly after the ball with no avail. The crowd was in awe and offered their appreciation for this type of football, they applauded, it was heaven, it was beautiful, they scored a lot of goals. The players had grace, they had elegance, they had a swagger and an arrogance. They had complete autonomy, almost like they didn’t have set positions, every role was interchangeable and vacated as the moment demanded. It was chaos and opponents didn’t have a reply, everything about that play defied structures and systems. It was a marvel to watch, the players on my screen turned the commentators into poets. I watched poetry unrevel right before my eyes and the commentators captured the magic of the moment. I fell in love, with the colors, the badge, the flags, the stadium and everything about that world. The red and blue hue spread out from my television set into my life to give it some color. From the seeds everything metastasized and blossomed into rich colors. The red and blue team saved my life.

Keep going

Keep going

When you finally make it,
Guilt trips are going to be common,
Like,
“Now that he’s got money, he’s changed”.

Fuck that!
Like that’s a bad thing.
You mean you worked so hard to stay the same?

They want you to stop,
But why would you stop?

Haters,
Nevermind them
they are quitters.

Besides,
Blame it on God.

Let them talk,
that’s all they have got,
they can’t get to you.

Keep your eyes on the prize.
Keep on dominating.

Maintain the hunger.
Maintain the stamina.

Double the profits.
Create new sources of income.
Serve more people.

Live.
Love.
Dream.
Create.

Greater things are ahead,
Keep going.

How commited are you? (Care)

How committed are you? (Care)

Essentially all that commitment is, is managing your sacrifices. I believe anything is possible provided you manage your sacrifices, everything worthwhile in life has a sacrifice. If for example you want to be the greatest tennis player of all time like Serena Williams, you have to engage in 4 hours or more of deliberate practice everyday. You must do it daily, no excuses, no second chances, just do it! That is your sacrifice to be the greatest. This means no more late night braais with friends. In fact, from now on you have no more friends, only people who will help you reach the pinnacle. You also can’t be like everybody else. Being like everyone else will only bring you mediocre results and you are not that anymore – you are a winner! You must be with the best people by your side. People who want the best for you. People who will motivate you to being the best that you can be. That’s your sacrifice. Do it, no excuses, no second chances!

To stay committed you must engage in something you truly care about. Care enough, that’s literally everything! When you care about something deep enough, you won’t quit when the dark nights besiege. Without care you won’t stay committed to anything. You will fail especially in the area of business. Being an entrepreneur is not easy. The odds are ALWAYS heavily stacked up against you and the business climate is always changing. You have competitors who are always actively working to put you out of business. Being an entrepreneur is actively choosing the role of the underdog. Nothing is promised, nothing is certain and you can labor for 10 straight years and receive nothing for your efforts. By choosing to be an entrepreneur, you are choosing to fail somewhere along the way. Failure is inevitable, there is no escaping this fact – every successful entrepreneur failed multiple times.

Edison failed over a thousand times with the light bulb but because he care enough, he kept on going. He managed his sacrifices and kept focusing on the light bulb. No excuses! That was his sacrifice. He did it and the world is much better today because he cared enough and stayed committed.
