It’s a pleasure to be with you on the IBCX road.

I agree that it’s easy to find an excuse – for almost any set-back; I was quite good at that. I had to learn that I found what I was searching for; if I looked for an excuse, I found one. When I looked for solutions instead, I found those, too.

As Gary said; you write with talent. Write more.

I can really relate to how we run into so many people that either don`t relate to what we are trying to accomplish or are critical of what we are doing to make our lives better. I seem to have the experience of attracting people that are jealous of my progress so I have been trying to adopt the same way of dealing with it as Mr. Simpson. Dumping them!

I am not used to treating people this way so it is very difficult for me to dump people for what they do not understand. Sometimes I think this is the only way we are able to continue on and stay focused on our goals of becoming who we want to be.

You do write well and I enjoyed your post and look forward to reading more of your articles. Thank you.

This is such a good article. A LOT of people would benefit from reading it.

I actually think it is easiest to give up BEFORE people start. But for those who DO start (the elite few):

“There’s actually a statistic that tends to confirm that theory… it’s the fact that most people quit a marathon after they’ve already completed 80% of the course!”

I can believe that. They just haven’t prepared properly to complete the task they set out to do.

Only the best of the best ever get to finish the “marathon.”

You should be proud of being able to create articles like this. It’s a rare talent. You should write them more often.

eBay is a great starting point to test the water before you take the leap into selling via your own website.

There are definitely some people who we need to excise from our lives. Toxic people need to hang with other toxic people – not try to infect people who are trying to better themselves.

When people annoy me I just dump them. I have no need or time to feed their insecurities. And if they are just plain rude or mean then why bother?

There are plenty of really decent people in the world without having to pander to the dross.

You write well. You should send this post to your list or to Twitter or Facebook. It’s a good message and deserves to be read.
