How To Push Through Any Problem (Stress Is GOOD)

If you want more success than you have now, you need to understand that you’ll have bigger problems as you grow. So if you can’t over come your current problems, you’ll never have bigger wins.

As kids we have no problems, thats because we don’t have any real responsibilities or goals. And if you wanna live a life without any headaches or problems, you will be worth no more than a kid.

So any problem you get, view it as a good thing, because that means that you’re doing good. Stress is a good thing. If you look at every successful person, their lives are filled with stress, and if you want your name on that list you need stress, and be ok with having it too. Who do you think is more stressed, Mark Cuban or your school teacher?

And stress is caused from problems, mainly from money is what stress comes from. For me it’s been making sales, making payroll, making custies happy and growing the business.

And the first thing I’ve done and not just with my business but with every problem is just realizing that it’s a good thing, and that the hard times Will pass. Nothing is forever. So understand that this time period of you going through this problem is just an opportunity for you to set yourself up for bigger things in life. And if you don’t overcome you won’t die or lose everything right away.

I’ve realized that the only people who moan about their problems are the people who just wanna live below average lives. And a main thing about us is that the reason you’re reading this is because you have similar goals as me, so you don’t just want a easy life, you want a rewarding life.

After you realize that every problem will go away eventually, you need to know how to make the most of the problem in the moment. And my sales manager once told that “you get full control over how you act and feel” So the first thing you should do when any problem comes up is just take a step back from all the emotions (because we’re human and we have emotions) and just ask your self “what is the next best thing I can do”

As in, what can I do to fix this problem. Whether it be, finding someone, working on something new, or longer, etc. You need to do something to fix the problem. because making up scenarios in your head and crying will not help.

I remember the most stressful time for me was when the business wasn’t making enough sales to support everyones payroll, and my first reaction was “omg, why does this shit have to be so hard” and “I’m a good person, I’m young, I don’t deserve this” etc. And not even 10 seconds later I realize that if I wanna make it better I need to do something about it and quit moaning.

So what I did was on the weekend was just go out and knock doors for 6 hours straight. And I booked out the next few days, letting everyone work full days and taking stress off of me for the next week as well as the sales team.

If I just started thinking about how my life was hard and cried, nothing would have been done and we All would have been more stressed about getting more sales.

So sometimes you need to just suck it up and do more work to set up future you, and that’s what I did. I got an extra 1k for the business that week too.

And you gotta weigh out the positives and negatives, as in what’s the worst case if I do more work? And whats the best Case? For me the worst case was that I would have just been in the same spot and best case was that I got to save everyone else stress and make the service providers more money as well as myself.

So if you take action you will at least give yourself some extra benefit. And that is worth Much more than just feeling sorry for yourself.

Because no one else will understand it from your perspective. No one will think “it’s ok, he was feeling down so it’s fine” they will just think “you’re a loser”

And you can’t blame others for thinking this way, especially those who depend on you. Because if you were them, you’d think the exact same thing.

And the last thing I’d like to leave you with is to focus on the long term. Yes you will feel bad or maybe even worse if you just let go of how you feel and just do the hard things now, but your future self will thank you so much more.

And honestly, your current self doesn’t matter, everything you do should only be done to set your future self up, not your current self.

I’ve only noticed that the people who do things for their current feelings are the people you don’t wanna be like, or the losers. So always focus on setting yourself up.

And a quick recap,

• Problems and stress is a good thing

• Complaining only leads to a below average life

• Every problem Will go away

• Focus on Fixing problems, and not how you feel

• Only losers don’t have stress and problems, and kids.

And hopefully this helps, especially if you’re going through a hard time. Because I’ve gone through many and this thinking is how I’ve always gotten over it.

And thank you for reading, enjoy your day:)
