Momentum

Aim to Start a Never-Ending Positive Spiral

We will get right to it.

To have massive successes you need to create momentum and not look back.

Some progress is incremental, other progress is exponential.

Most progress is exponential.

Returns increase the longer your winning streak lasts.

I was living a pretty boring life for the last couple of years. The negatives were really getting to me. In 2022 I more than doubled my income. But I was missing something inside. An empty void. I had nothing major to live for. I was living a life of quiet desperation. I lost a lot of my mojo in 2012 when I was retiring from Army Cadets. In the 6 years between 2006-2012, I became the Sergeant Major of my cadet unit. I was a Chief Warrant Officer on top of the world. I found swagger and mojo. I was one of the greatest cadets of all time!

Until shit started to hit the fan.

In 2012, I suddenly started to have signs of bipolar disorder. Arrested in October of 2012 with 3 months left in my cadet career. I was devastated thinking a conviction on my record would ruin my life. Suddenly it all turned dark, going to school took everything out of me. I was showing up late, missing assignments and was a shadow of my true self.

I finished my cadet career in Dec 2012 being happy it was over because I didn’t have the energy to continue. This story I have has many ups and downs. I had a crush on a girl who went to a different high school, and all hopes of that working out were long over.

I began to get so depressed that I actually sunk even lower and had some of my most intense laughing moments while in this state. If your state is sinking, then you actually want to let it go lower. Don’t stagnate. Stagnation is death.

A few years went by, and I slowly got my life together. I shovelled snow in the winters. In the summer I cleaned parks with a contractor under the city. Finding my swagger became harder when I started to gamble. I wanted to replicate that winning feeling. In 2018, I walked into the casino with my last 200 bucks. I walked out with $2,500. It was the best high I ever had. I also became addicted to gambling very hard at this time.

This was a blessing in disguise because the gambling addiction got me out of depression and inspired me to work and take work seriously.

Recently, I have been rethinking my life. The 9 years as a gambler made me miss out on so much opportunity. I could buy homes and cars with the money I spent. But now at 31, I’ve got my eyes open to what’s possible. Now I’m on a roll and not looking back.

Recent events have lit a fire under me.

I’m no longer living on the sidelines. I’m going after what I want with no apologies for it. This week I went 7/7 in the gym and I’m committing to going 30/30 this month. The gym is a great way to get on a roll. Work intensely while your there. Plenty of time to feel tired later.

The gym is the foundation to positive momentum. It changes your brain chemistry. The best thing about the gym is that a workout is like $1 when you use the membership each day. I’m more determined than ever to build my brand online and show other people what’s possible.

The momentum you get will eventually become a new normal, you’ll have swagger and confidence. The sky’s the limit, and it’s worth it to overshoot because you only get a fraction of what you shoot for.

I want all the best life has to offer.

You can get all the best life has to offer. I’ve studied success for many years, and I’ve made myself more successful as each year has gone by. Doubled the quality of my career in 2022 and feel better than ever. Once you succeed in one area, you’ll wan to succeed in all areas.

You made $500 from your blog this month?

You can look at this one of two ways, either you made a real amount of money and feel grateful. Or you can look at this and say it’s not that much. The former is the right way to look at your own success. The latter will stop you from building positive momentum.

I was so good at resilience in the face of backlash momentum.

The way I’ve made it in life was to look at the challenges I’ve overcome and use my newfound skill to help others rise above the same challenge. Once you’ve learned, now you can teach. So use your lived experience to inspire other people.

Rack up success after success, and you’ll breach the plane of the exponential in no time!

Confidence comes from progress.

Progress comes from confidence.

So right now focus on building positive momentum. Hard and decisive action will get you what you want. No excuses, no tomorrow, just going for the win every single day. You’ll make it, no reason to underestimate yourself. It’s better to believe in yourself and be wrong than to doubt yourself and be right.

You got this!

To your success,

Angus
