What a complete load of condemnatory pseudo-psychological bs.

Reason #14 why the author isnt successful? People have wised up and stopped buying his ridculous self-improvement books and courses.

Sometimes, events beyond your control come fast and furious enough to make shutting down the rational choice. Cashflow problems with your customers become your own when they start nitpicking for discounts and sitting on invoices for ninety-plus days.

Loss of large accounts due to bankruptcy or merger can be difficult to surmount when buyers have panicked and pulled any new programs, not to mention being left holding the bag on outside expenditures in the high five figures due to a customer bankruptcy. Office space and equipment leases cost money whether there is anything coming in or not.

Lived all that, in 2008. Don't sling this motivational poster crap in my face. If I had tried to ride it out I would have been broke and a ward of the state or living under a bridge by now. As it stands, I'm holding my own, waiting to get back in and fight another day.

As we used to say where I worked, and saw people move up who could not meet the “required” qualifications...

“It’s not who you know, it is who you bl#w.”

My #1 reason is satisfaction. I’ve built a life for myself better than I ever thought I’d get, and rather than continuing to chase the money I’ve decided this is good. So yes if I was willing to work harder I could probably double my income, but I’d rather go home and read than work over time and do business travel. The money chase is overrated, enjoy what you have, because nobody’s grave stone says “I should have spent more time at work”.
