If yes, then slow food should be making you thin. True or false?
You see, most people paint themselves as victims of circumstance.
Don’t believe me? Just watch an episode of Jerry Springer.
The entire fxxking show is based on victims—how somebody did
somebody wrong, had sex with somebody else, whatever—and then
the hilarity ensues when all the drama, crying, fighting, and hitting each
other kicks into full gear. Somebody else is always the cause of all the
victim’s problems. It’s pathetic.
If you want to get rich, you can’t be a victim. Our society is full of
victims. Like the guy who eats fast food everyday for years and then
sues the fast food restaurants for making him fat.
Tell me this: who chose to get up every morning, everyday, and
drive to the restaurant? Who looked at the menu, placed an order,
pulled out his wallet, and bought the food? Who chose to shovel the
large fries, double cheese burger, and a milk shake down his throat?
Exactly.The guy.The customer. The “victim.”
IF YOU CAN’T FIND GOOD PEOPLE TO
HELP YOU, MAYBE YOU’RE NOT A GOOD
PERSON
Entrepreneurs say to me all the time, “Mr, I can’t get good help
these days. ”I always reply, “Maybe that’s because you’re a lousy leader!
The problem is NOT that you can’t find good people.The real problem
is GOOD people don’t WANT to come work for you. Why? Maybe you
can’t afford to pay the salaries that really good people deserve.”
“But, Mr, my business is not doing well.Ican’taffordtopaythem
that much money.” Again, I’m not sympathetic.“That’s becauseyou’re
a lousy business owner! Your profit is low, your revenue is low,andnow
you can’t afford to have a team. Heck, you don’t even know howto
build a team.”
If this is the case for. you, then you have to take responsibility.That’s
a tough pill to swallow, I know—because I’ve had to swallow it myself a
few times!
I even find myself being in the victim mode from time to time. When
that happens, I stop and ask my self, "Am I acting like a victim or am I
acting like an owner?” And I find that when I take 100% responsibility
for my life, something magical happens.
