If They Knew They Would Do
Reading time: 2 – 4 minutes
If they Knew they would Do – It’s common sense but since you don’t know you think they do.
There are alot of people who will tell you how to Hustle. They will tell you where you should be, how to do it, and will even tell you if its worth doing. Most if not all the people you meet will not know anything about really making money. They will tell you they are giving you advice, that they may not know your Hustle but they know a thing or two. They will say I am a lawyer, a pastor, older than you, ran a marathon, fought in Iraq, fix cars, drive a hybrid, wear a suit to work, and is your brother or sister and know the real you and somehow that qualifies them to tell you how to Hustle.
What do you call a person who knows how to get rich but doesn’t do it? On TV they call them experts! How can you be a expert in anything because you read books about something but haven’t done it. Financial planners tell people how to set up their money so they can save. Now if you knew how to invest your money, so much so you teach others, why aren’t the Financial planners millionaires? Like in sports you have people who report on the game and those who play it. The best commentators are usually the ones who played the game and the ones who haven’t sound good. The ones who have done it try to give you the reason that inspired them to get things done not some odd fact about what they they think.
Don’t let experts, television, and family override and discourage your Hustle. You have to find the people who do. Keep yourself in the mode of seeking the advice of those who you know have done. I read autobiographies because it’s from the mouth of the person who did it not like a biography from someone who watched it. If I want to learn how to run a business or something I go and sit there and watch someone doing it. I might even try to talk to the employee so they can tell me how it’s done. There is a humongous difference between those who have done and those who offer advice without having done it.
Bottom Line: Hustle is about doing so value the ones who do.

Exactly! That was the point behind Mission 1 on my blog, to get people to actually take qualifying action!Most claims of “experts” cant be verified (thats why I have posted all my certificates up on Scribd), but you may know a man by the fruits of his actions!
I laugh at so many people who tell others starting a business is hard but they never started a business. It’s like we have financial pundits telling everyone what they think when they never done anything.
Our folk believe these idiots whole heartedly like the cats at the SBA actually built something. Like your pastor can talk about more than just Jesus. Like your boss knows more than what’s on his desk. I just wanted to address that 99% of the people you run into have never started or owned ish, so why ask them at all.
I’ve always loved the phrase: “those who can do, those who can’t teach”. The older I get the more I see how true that phrase is.
It’s a true statement for sure. The thing that gets me is it’s bass ackwards to advocate so strongly things you haven’t done. I mean these cats write books on the theory of money making when in reality their hustle is writing books.
I was talking to a cat the other day about Robert Kyosaki. I asked him do you think he made more money on real estate or on those damn books! He’s saying one thing but making money from another which is just a misdirection of the hustle. Right now he cranks out more books than probably his properties bring in.
I learned it better learning from someone who at least try and f*ck up than listen to some “expert” and their bullet points.
It’s like when the economy soured, these cats came out on TV talking about how to land a job saying stuff like get on Facebook or LinkedIn. I was thinking, how about this “job expert” put their behind out on the street and find a job using real skills and see how far they make it..
I personally think it’s a BIG CON the way they put people who haven’t done ish on TV to talk. They all got the same cookie cutter approach to the game. Write a Business Plan, Go get a SBA loan, Look for Venture Capitalist, Give up you possession and all rights, then be happy you literally work for someone else but your dream has come true. Oh oh yeah I didn’t want to leave out the Banks smiling like they helped you realize your dream while they are charging you interest and if you don’t pay they will take everything from you (Thanks Bank Of America:)They are intellectually raping cats with their ways of going about making money.
It’s hard to dodge these cats because no one challenges them in any way. So instead the dumb lead the blind and say 4 out 5 business fail. Well NO SHIT, if you got your base from these idiots!
