This is a flow of consciousness for those of you who want to win.
Get into it. Be in it. Make it yours. Live there. Wrap everything you've learned around your brain. Innovate. Do stuff your completely unsure of as soon as you feel unsure. Experiment.
THIS IS NOT "YOU GOING TO WORK" -- You can't see something that's not a job as a job.
THIS IS NOT!!!!!!!!!! ABOUT MONEY. This is about how much money, your greatness, the achievements you could make. This is about you jumping off a cliff. Vision ahead of how much you want to earn, and build an empire around how, why, with what, who, where, when.
Buy a notebook just for that goal alone, even if you never use it.
Write down the words that emotionally charge you. Use them. Build grand definitions around them to the point that the words mean something different to you that they don't mean to anyone else. BUILD SYMBOLS.
GIVE THINGS SIGNIFICANCE. Be there. Be in it. Paint it, draw it, write it, sing it, dance it, make it, design it. Do it however YOU would. Design the time in front of you, the goals, the dreams...
PUT IT ALL TOGETHER. And then take it apart again. Build your own reality around it.
And most importantly.... for everything you put in, get something back. Working hours on end for MONEY ALONE won't work - it takes too long to get money for your effort. Instead, you've got to enjoy the effort you put in, because when you REALLY enjoy what you are doing, you get more back every time you put effort in; example: Almost any game you've ever played.
So what I'm saying is, make it into a game. I've found that some of the most valuable time I've spent working was just hours of deep thought about what I was really doing. Great tactic for when you're too lazy to work.

life is a ball of playdough, shape w/it and make it ur own :)
I wanna add to Dave's comment: It's more about the thing you want to achieve being made of play doe.
Great simplification!
I used to be attached to the word awesome, till I heard Ed Dale saying it too much, in his stupid accent lol.
I like what you wrote. I liked this part the best....Working hours on end for MONEY ALONE won't work - it takes too long to get money for your effort. Instead, you've got to enjoy the effort you put in...
I do enjoy the effort I put into what I do and I'm not in it for money. I mean you have to eat but I'm not doing it solely for the fact to have a Bill Gates sized bank accounts.
