110%
Reading time: 2 – 3 minutes
When this shit first came out I hated the thought of it. First, if someone tells you that you aren’t giving 110% then that means what you aren’t trying hard enough. Second, it’s impossible to give 110%. Third, this shit is just another stupid motivational saying to get you to try harder for some bullshit. Finally, it’s usually the phrase of some motivational speaker that they know will sell. Everyone falls short of perfection isn’t that the same bullshit they push at church on Sunday?
If you need motivation to make money then something is really wrong with you or really right with you. Either you have all you need and are rich beyond reason or you are a delusional Sucker who needs signs from GOD to get you to stop being poor. I swear I’m going to make up my own Sucker motivational phrase or word and see if that shit catches on. Put it on T-shirts and Mugs and create 110% think tanks in D.C. I’m going to have the young 110% of America with a whole bunch of slaves in training doing a essay for a scholarship on what 110% means to them.
It’s funny to hear all this bullshit to try to motivate the people who need a push. It’s the same ploy of relatable bullshit you hear from anyone trying to convince you. If they are a comedian they’ll talk about women shopping. If they are a politician they’ll say you know someone who can use some help. If they are a preacher they will say I can tell you are troubled. If they are a Tarot card reader they will say you have a deep life line when EVERY MOTHERFVCKER on the earth has a deep line in their palm!
All I can say is I can’t wait til I cash in on the JUST DO IT, 110%, Keep On Keeping On and the next motivational phrase of the month. To my people on the R&G just learn to laugh when you hear this shit. 110% doesn’t make any kind of mathematical sense and was probably said by a Crack Head at the Greyhound Station in Seattle and passed on by a youngin who was 7 degrees separated from Kanye West! Ya’ll need to stop trying to figure dumbshit out and definitely need to stop repeating it.
I got to get my wristband hustle going so you cats can buy that shit and wear 110% as a reminder.

LoL. Ppl would buy it too. I know where you can get the wristbands when you’re ready. lol
LMBO The last few posts are bringing me back to the Press days! Love it!
You make a good point though, either someone is gonna do something or they aren’t. They shouldn’t need some motivational phrase to inspire them. But some people do need something to grasp onto because it just isn’t in them at the moment. That phrase can be their stepping stone to getting the internal motivation to make bigger things happen.
Reminds me of the “2 minutes hate” ritual in the book/movie 1984.
stupid shit sells
come up with something ignorant and the masses buys it out
look at nike just do it
im the type of dude that would coin
“been done it” lol
The corniest shit I’ve seen that people actually sell and buy is when
Who remembers: Got Milk? dudes came up with shit like ” Got Adobo? ” That Phillipino bullshit food Lol!
And what’s more amazing dudes were actually buying this at the fair.
@Keish – I know where to get the dumbshit wholesale from China for half a penny too. Just don’t feel like pushing it but I might need to stop thinking that shit is stupid and sell stupid to stupid.
@Keish – Yeah on the R&G sometimes I revert back to The Press way of talking. Can’t help it as I have a lot on my mind but have to stay focused on the chips when it comes to the R&G. But, you can still see it and hear it on everything on the R&G.
@Miles – Haven’t seen it nor read it so I have to take your word for it. Seems like I heard of it before though.
@JBird – I saw a brother in the gym with a upside down swoosh that said ALREADY DID IT! So they already beat you on that angle. But, people like participating in dumb follower shit all the time YOLO!
@MDamage – Yeah my Pinoy homies had that shit up and it caught on as I seen cats with that t-shirt on in Toronto too. That’s why cat’s keep trying the tshirt hustle because they’ve seen stupid shit sell a million. So they think I got some stupid shit to sell too.
lol yeah i was only kidding about the nike thing
but yeah you come up with dumb slogans and the masses will eat it up
dumb anything for that matter lol
I GOT MY LAWN MOWER and i pushed for two miles around different neighborhoods all last two weeks.
i didnt need motivation from anybody, just put on some music and i thought about money.
im glad you put that out there i be tired of hearing dumbass out of touch people saying shit like you dont have a job because your not trying hard enough when in reality they didnt work hard to get they job more then likely somebody put them on and dont have the same circumstances as me its a whole lotta goofy ass fools out here just saying shit that sound cool instead of facts
@JayB – Followers nature is to follow so the angle is to give them something to follow!
@Nile – Keep hustling homie as making money is worthy of your time. Like I always say OH WELL MAKE MONEY! I use that to always get back on task and mission with my own personal empire.
@$in – Welcome – People say what they think will either help you or hurt you. It’s rare to meet people who keep it 100 and just chop it up. So when you hear people say stupid shit like 110% they are trying to use it to motivate you. It came from nowhere so most likely it’s going nowhere so you have to be able to drop the dumbshit and keep moving.
OK… ’110%’ and such are cliches that are make no mathematical sense. But life and living isn’t always about what’s linear, measurable, or logical.
’110%’ is a metaphor for excellence. Without ’110%’, there’d be no innovation. Records would never be broken. It’s not always enough to just do it. Just doing it is cheap. ’110%’ says, ‘Here’s what is. Now take it farther’. Push the envelop. Take the risk.
I know I’m rationalizing a cliche with other cliches,
. And you’re correct, R&G, to say we shouldn’t have to hype people into action. It’s true everyone’s not cut out for every thing. But, IMO, it’s very important for entrepreneurs to strive for excellence. That’s not to say they have to reinvent the wheel, but too serve up the best wheels you can.
Whatever floats your boat and gets you ready to make money I’m all for it. This 110% thing just struck me as the impossible so I had to touch on it.
I don’t know how we got past 100% as that’s perfection. When you lead with the impossible it’s hard to achieve the possible. Shit, I’d rather kats just keep it 75% in this game.
