Motivating Factor
Reading time: 2 – 4 minutes
A lot of people don’t really know what motivates them. I found out a long time ago when I get angry all hell will break loose. I usually am pretty calm, cool and collected on a daily basis but nothing gets me moving more than when a situation frustrates me. My frustration usually turns into anger and next thing you know I picked up and became exactly what I hired you to do. Now in my younger days it would turn into a fist fight but nowadays it just lets me know I need to get the hell out of a situation TODAY!
Part of business is dealing with people who think you aren’t paying attention. Most of the time I am paying people because I don’t feel like doing it myself but it never means I am relying on them like I won’t do it myself. Nothing and I mean nothing pisses me off more than laziness when it comes to collecting money. If I have to call you over to accept money from me at a restaurant, garage or even at a damn Farmer’s market I always think you must not want the money. If a man is offering you a product for sale and he’s slow in receiving the dough it makes me think whatever I am buying is shit. Another thing that gets me going is when I think people are running game on me. If I feel I have somehow stumbled into a deal between the Hatfields and the McCoys and my name is Freeman, then I know I need to cut everyone the fvck out and handle it myself.
A lot of people will tell you not to use your anger or your vengeance or your goal oriented ways of motivating you to get money. BUT I WON”T. I have accomplished more things than I ever imagined I could primarily fueled off anger. I have never really seen competition as motivating primarily because I think comparing myself to another man is petty. But, to each his/her own when it comes to what gets you going. As we speak I’m about to get a Realtor license because the mentally challenged cats I have working for me are slow in receiving dough. I just can’t have the mentally challenged on my team passively getting me what I need. This happens so much to me that I can tell you about 75% of all I know is because I couldn’t wait for a dumbass to do it for me.
So whatever floats your boat, just keep your boat afloat!

Man you know what Free.. I was ashmed to say that this too has become my drive to get things done. I have become angry about people wanting to block me or not about their business..to me if I was a grimey dude I would just take the product and leave. I shouldn’t be reminding you about money you should be recieving in a transaction. One of my mottos to people like that, is from that old E-40 and the Click song BE ABOUT YO PAPER!!
Its funny too because me I’m a cool laid-back type of dude, but when it comes to things like that what you said, I soon become angry and almost Hostile and thats when people choose to listen to me or do what I say..smdh!!!
I like to win. I see it as fuel. I used to be motivated by competition until I realized it leads to jealousy and constant comparison. Anger is self-destructive.I think if you can use it constructively it will propel you. For me..I don’t like people that take up space…just aimless and mindless robots going through life. Why not go for it? Freeman, you’re like me…if something is messed up going right…I’m going left and winning! For some reason..I just can’t accept the status quo mentality and go through life a loser..I gotta do something to make my life better. I believe all of us on the R&G are motivated by anger and passion to win at the chip chase. I know I am. Realtor license..all good. Is it a easy to get this license?
@Kozi – Bruh, I’m usually mad about a lot of things on a daily basis and that’s why I think I am the opposite on the outside. A lot of things don’t really bother me but when they do I hate them so much that I have to take care of it one way or the other. Anger gets a lot of things done and it’s that needed burst to push things through. Now I’m not walking around all day pissed off but on a given moment I could flare up.
Almost all West coast Hip Hop is talking about money so you can pick any place from LA to the Bay and you’ll hear a common thread. I like that song too probably for the heavy bass lines the cats in the Bay use on their music.
@AH – It’s a common emotion to have when striving for something outside of yourself. Everyone wants the game to go easy but most of the time it’s a damn minefield of worthless Suckers pretending and you learning on the fly without making too many mistakes.
I agree anger all the time is self destructive but when it comes up I’d rather use it instead of lie to myself and say get over it. There are a lot of people who will die trying to act like what they see and feel ain’t real. I don’t want to be one of those guys.
The realtor angle is like anything else and that’s getting the course work done and passing a test. Depending on what state you live in they have different waiting periods so you’ll have to check. But, my empire requires this skill and license so I need to get it done so I don’t have to wait on Suckers to do it for me.
You know Freeman its funny that you wrote this article because right now i was feeling a bit angry. You see i have a Real Estate license and have been trying to get into this realty. I have been leaving phone messages constantly with this person and when we finally set up a meet she did not show up! Nothing makes me more angry than not showing up for a meeting. To me that means this person is not up to her game! Being a professional If i made the effort to clear my schedule so that we can meet the least you can do is call me back. The reason why she told me that she lost my phone number even though i sent her all of my information in an email. Not very professional! and this person is a broker!! Freeman i’m glad that you are going for your Realty license its a great investment and you will learn the game from the inside and make this money! We need more professional money hungry people in this field because there are too many fake cats that talk the talk but are broke!
Since the bubble on realty burst there are a lot of cats who thought they could make quick money still with their licenses. Instead of seeing the license as something they can do for theirselves a lot of cats are scavenging and cannibalizing each other for short dough. Since they treated it as a quick hustle instead of building they end up with nothing with the hustle angle dries up.
Don’t sweat it bruh as I am learning each of these real estate cats feel that they are part of club and the game is set up to have them put you on somehow. So I bet it’s harder to find people who are straight up. Any game set up where you have to put your license under someone else for years gives the Cowards power and it takes some of your money.
Just remember when you get on top to not repeat what you had to go through. There is only a tradition of taking advantage of others amongst the Suckers. Everyone else knows the more cats hunting on the team means the more money in their pocket. We just have to find the cats who know that and build a business on results.
I just gotta say I fully agree with you. And in all honesty it’s so hard to explain to people that I’m mostly motivated by a constant sense of rage. I mean it’s so hard for them to see past what they think they know about anger, that it’s just pointless to try and change their thinking. Even when I fully illustrate that the riskiest and most rewarding things I’ve ever done have been completely motivated by anger. On top of that it just amazes me how people focus on silly trivial shit like competition. I’ve never been motivated by how other people of my demographic are doing. That shit is completely irrelevant to me.
I think cats who are motivated are usually motivated by extremes. So when people say they just did it like a robot I just think they are lying. Even I am motivated by reaching my full potential by any means necessary! I
A lot of people keep listening to these damn psychologists that they tuck their emotions down like they aren’t supposed to ever get mad or exact some sort of revenge. That’s why they lose and will continue to lose.
Truth be told achieving your goals is a road full of frustration so I don’t know you can avoid getting angry on people in your way. Like I said maybe some people are robots. But, I really think most cats never go after anything or accomplish anything and that’s why they truthfully don’t understand.
I just had to write another comment. I was thinking while driving back home from work about anger. Many people think anger is a negative because we are so used to seeing it in a negative role. But like in life there are two sides to every story. Instead of using anger negatively why not use to do something positive like this article states. Anger can be a motivating force which can make you accomplish what you set out to do. For me its losing weight and learning self-defense. At first i did not know anything and was struggling with the exercises and i could not keep up this made me angry. My anger set in and i pushed myself everyday and as time progressed i lost weight and have become better at learning the Martial Art. Yesterday i was raised by my Sensei after months and months of training, sore muscles and black and blues. I began to realize that anger can be used as a positive force to accomplish my goals.
Its okay to get angry as long as you use it positively to accomplish a goal!
All extreme emotions can be beneficial. Shit, adrenaline is a chemical reaction to an extreme situation that gives you extraordinary strength and perception. I think anger is what any person can tap into all of the time to summon another level of determination.
When I lift weights sooner or later my anger gets up and I can push through more than I did before. Almost all emotions can be channeled for your benefit it’s just the bad ones are never seen or taught to be transformed.
