Want to get Motivated? Step Right In....

All I ever see anymore is people whining, crying and complaining about tubes and how shitty things are. I see guys who once thought they were invincible, rolling like pimps of the industry and now they are reduced to gfy crybabies. It's sad and pathetic. What good has ever come from complaining, crying and being negative? NONE! All you do is dig yourself into a deeper hole. If you've read my threads lately you'll notice a trend. Positive Threads! Threads about making money. Threads about kicking ass! That's because this industry still rocks. There still is a shitload of money to be made.

I don't know if it's my positive attitude, the fact that we've been kicking more ass than ever before or just good luck but I've been surrounded with people that are doing better than ever in this industry. That's right BETTER THAN EVER! With all change comes new opportunity. Our industry has been going through a number of changes and with each change there has been tremendous opportunity. Those opportunities are being seized by the people that are working harder and working smarter. Not the lazy one trick ponies who bitch and moan because their one way to make money stopped working so they spend all day on boards complaining how much tubes suck. For every post you make complaining about tubes, for every minute you spend thinking about that post, for every second you spend reloading your stats that just won't move other people are seizing the moment and KICKING MAJOR ASS! This industry rocks and there is still a shitload of money to be made. The question is do you want some of it or not? If you do and if you have half a brain you'll find a way to make money.

This isn't 2001. You can't do fuck all and get rich. But you can work your ass off and get rich. The problem is this industry is lazy and for the most part retarded. If you are smart and a hard worker there is a world of opportunity in our industry right now. It won't jump out at you. But it's there. You'll have to work and work hard to find it but it's there.

You have the choice. You can....
A...Think this industry has gone to hell, there is no money to be made and tubes have ruined it all. If that's the case what's the point of working hard? It's all going to hell anyway right?
or
B... Realize that times have changed. It's not as easy as it once was but there is still just as much money to be made. Luckily for you your competition prefers to spend their time reminiscing about how well banners farms converted in 1997 instead of working on the next big thing. It's going to be hard work but there is still just as much money as ever to be made with less people headed in the right direction to get it.

So which will you be?
