• What is it that dilutes, undermines, and sabotages one’s success as a Joint Venture Broker?
• What subtle poison will attenuate, enfeeble, and warp your progress?

The malignant venom that is so popular in our compromised and weak society that is corrupted by politically correct, creeping collectivism is so pervasive as to be almost invisible; we don’t see the proverbial wood for the trees.

Ayn Rand declared:

“I can accept anything, except what seems to be the easiest for most people: the half-way, the almost, the just-about, the in-between.”

She saw that mediocrity is the poison to avoid if one wants to reach the summit of success. The majority chooses the colorless, humdrum existence over real success.

The Poison of “Part Time”

The first question I am asked by those who would aspire to become Joint Venture Brokers is, “Can I do this part time?” This is a world in which we celebrate the undistinguished, unexceptional, unremarkable, and unrepentant pursuit of concession, comfort, and corruption.

“Don’t work too hard” – “Don’t be a fanatic” – “Don’t pressure me” – “Don’t be so idealistic” – DON’T SUCCEED.

Don’t become a threat to the seething herd of sheeple.

Only Dead Fish Go with the Current

The tall trees catch the wind. The nail that stands up gets hammered down. If you’re successful, you become a mirror in which the losers see their own miserable faces, and they have to break the mirror and attack your virtue. You cannot allow their fear to stop you. Ayn Rand said:

“Men have been taught that it is a virtue to agree with others. But the creator is the man who disagrees.

Men have been taught that it is a virtue to swim with the current. But the creator is the man who goes against the current.

Men have been taught that it is a virtue to stand together. But the creator is the man who stands alone.”

Eagles don’t flock. Warriors don’t flinch. And winners don’t forsake their goals or forfeit their dreams.

Real Men…

Real men don’t sacrifice their values or surrender. They don’t desert and they don’t decamp – they attack and they demand success.

The insidious poison of popularity and insecurity will steal your success as surely as the sun will rise.

Think of champions like Patton, Thatcher, Churchill, Rand, Hitchens, and the like; they never hesitated to do what they believed in and they never left a back door open. General Patton said:

“Don’t Delay: The best is the enemy of the good.  By this I mean that a good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan next week.

War is a very simple thing, and the determining characteristics are self-confidence, speed, and audacity. None of these things can ever be perfect, but they can be good.”

Become a Fearless Fanatic

Full time, full throttle, total commitment, no compromise, whatever-it-takes, 24/7/365 is the mark of a winner. Scrape the opinions of the masses off the bottom of your shoe and courageously force your way through every barrier on your way to realizing your magnificent obsession. By all means, become a fearless fanatic; you’ll be in good company.
