Don't scam yourself out of success

The secret sauce to success:

Belief and hope.

If you’re not careful…

Skepticism and doubt will kill off your belief and hope.

Some of it is healthy and necessary…

But I see folks take it way too far.

Everything to them is a “scam.”

I found out how bad this problem is…

Because I got a few 500k view videos on TikTok.

I have some videos with literally hundreds of comments on there.

What I found out was…

So many people think it’s a scam…

If you don’t do everything for free out of the goodness of your heart.

The bar is very very low for what constitutes a scam.

If it costs one penny, then I guess it’s a scam.

I simply ask people to apply this logic to the rest of your life.

Do you walk in a grocery store and yell “SCAMM!!” at all the products?

There’s no way you know if they will all work for you…

Because you haven’t tried them all.

The only way to know if something is a scam is to TRY it.

Use as directed and SEE if it works for you.

And if you have dreams and goals and things you want to try…

But you’re not doing it…

Then you’re scamming yourself.

Because you’re telling yourself that you want XYZ result in your life…

You want all these benefits…

You tell yourself you’re going to do it…

You make these promises…

But then you don’t try anything.

And it’s not a guru or a store that is hurting you…

You’re hurting yourself.

And you’re looking for a scapegoat to blame it on.

You want someone else to be responsible.

I want you to learn from my mistakes…

Because I used to be the queen of the Self Scam.

I promise you, it’s not worth it.

It’s not worth it to be a victim.

For it to be someone else’s fault.

You will end up unfulfilled with empty hands.

It will take you 10x longer to reach your goals…

If you reach them at all.

I think most people stay stuck here…

In the “everything’s a scam / anyone asking for money is bad / it’s not fair” phase.

That’s why there’s not as much competition as it seems.

Most people are stuck on victim victim victim…

Even successful people somehow figure out how to be victims.

Look, the formula for success is simple:

There are crappy people out there. Accept it, and don’t be one of them.

Solve people’s problems you care about…

Charge money for it so you can eat.

You have to take action and do the work.

The weight doesn’t fall off when you buy the treadmill.

You get the result after you buy the treadmill (or mentorship, or whatever)…

And then you do the work.

Don’t scam yourself out of the hope and belief you need to succeed.
