Take it from a guy who used to be dirt broke and homeless but is now enjoying an incredible lifestyle…
Success isn’t just about having a good attitude, it’s a DECISION. You have to just DECIDE what you are going to become.
Not what you WANT to become… But what you WILL become.
It’s that simple.
Period.
I came across this video where Will Smith breaks it down like a MOFO!
In this speech, Steve Jobs, one of the founders of Apple, makes you want to go out an DOMINATE the world…
Sometimes it’s darkest before the dawn…
Check it out.
Enjoy
Be sure to leave a comment with YOUR dream…
and your DECISION to live it.
Whatsup Steve – I’m hearing good things already from the Project X’ers around the country – keep it up -
Yeah and this sums it up, it’s all about making the DECISION to take control and then of course following through -

Hey,
It could just be me, but I think I had to make a million other “wrong” decisions before I realized the “ultimate” decision you’re talking about. And I’m sure I’ll make a million more, before the week’s out.
I think my ultimate dream is to just be happy – I mean really fulfilled, full of love, so much so that I have to give a bunch to everyone around me just to keep myself balanced. And I also want to have a lot of money to take care of myself and my family on the physical level. I mean so much that I never have to worry about groceries and such, and that I can pick and choose my clients, because I’ll be so rich I won’t have to work with anyone just to eat, even though I don’t really click with them.
What I want to “do” with my life changes all the time, but this end goal is constant, so as long as I’m heading in that direction and loving what I do to get there, and learning from my mistakes, everything’s fine. I guess that would be my decision, to keep in that direction.

Thanks for the motivation Steve, Love your energy.

DAMN DUDE…..
What a KILLER post… very few words but very, very powerful.
The only way to really become a Legend IS to DECIDE…
No matter what happens along the way, how many times you get knocked back, you MUST continue to move forward.
Steve Jobs talks about doing what you love and he is so right! I can tell you right now that doing 1 on 1 PT is not something that I can say I TRULY LOVE… I enjoy it, but there are certain aspects that I truly love more than the rest… and THAt is what I am focusing on moving forward…
Follow your Heart and your Intuition…. so often we avoid our gut feelings and go with “what makes sense” or we lean towards “being realistic”…
You gots ta be Unrealistic if you want extraordinary results…
Enough said..
Cheers

very inspiring. as Wayne Dyer says “nobody becomes a swimmer or learns to swim in the contemplation of drowning”
thoughts become things and your role as a creation and creator is to believe and connect the invisible dots WITHOUT KNOWING OR WORRYING ABOUT THE RESULT
That’s the job of the universe – thereis no such thing as failures – only outcomes that you learn from to reach your highest destination
…and totally off the subject – can anyone tell me how to get that cool optin box that steve and bedros has with their image in the backround? is that the power of semiologic plug-in or what? how do you go about getting that on your blog as the place to build a list

Nice post Steve-These are some awesome videos.
I believe that a healthy nation is a strong nation. And I want to make the United States (the best friggin country in the world) the healthiest and strongest nation around. So that we can keep enjoying the freedoms, choices, and lifestyles that we as human beings earned, and deserve, and are ENTITLED to. Because thats what we as Americans stand for.
I’ve decided, and I’m going be a Nation Changer…

Will’s video really tells it like it is. If you are not willing to hustle and to hustle on a continual basis even if you don’t get that ball then you are going to lose. You will not make it because there is always someone ready to hustle more than you. Always. That shows 2 things.
1. If you don’t hustle your ass off you will not make it to the top.
2. If you make it to the top and you stop hustling someone else will gladly take your spot.
I have heard a similar saying to this before and it follows what Kaiser said above. A journey of a 1000 miles starts with a single step (the decision). BUT it is the second step that most people fail to take.
And Steve Jobs’ video! Wow. Very powerful. It is truly what every successful person will tell you. You must love what you do. If you are passionate about what you are doing and work in that direction things will come together for you and you will become successful. You are going to put the work in because you are passionate about it. All of a sudden it is not just a job anymore, it is a hobby. It is what you love to do.
I am the new and its time to make my own way, for me.
My dream is to live the life of the guys that we follow everyday: Steve, Bedros and Chris. When I have my family I want to have the freedom to live my life the way I want and spend as much time with my family as I want. Have the financial freedom to provide for my family without worrying. Become successful so that I can help others do the same. That is MY dream.
I think that shows my decision to live my dream and it will all start with the Fit Body Bootcamp once it is released. In the mean time I’ll start working on some back end products. Always hustle but don’t forget the power of taking time off.

Hey Steve – I know you’re out there in Cali – tell Will the next time you see him that video was a huge high opener and inspirational -
You heard right there – behind the goofy persona, that guys a tremendously hard worker (while doing what he loves and is innately good at – the magic formula)-
Comment by Kaiser S. — May 21, 2009 @ 9:00 pm
Hey Steve dude
Thanks for this very very inspirational post. I haven’t been so inspired in awhile. And I’m thankful that I had read this post. I love Steve Job’s speech. Very powerful.

Steve,
Thank you … is’nt it strange that, if you are receptive, something comes along to guide you … just when you need it. Listening to Will Smith & Steve Jobs is just what I need at the moment. I have so much conflicting stuff going on that I just can’t focus and life has dealt me a few bum deals of late. No matter how much I tried to brass it out ( as we say in the UK…) it just seemed to get more complex. I was fast approaching despair and started looking for a ‘proper job’ !!!
I am not in the fitness industry and have been avidly looking at your site to see if your concepts might work for my Therapy business. I love your stuff and have picked up some really interesting ideas so far, and mor eto come no doubt.
Thanks again Steve, you have my support, even though it is in the UK.
