I started this blog in July 2016, which was almost 5 years ago. Back then, all the big bloggers were talking about affiliate marketing. According to them, this was the easiest way to make a lot of money online. So, like many people who had a blog, I figured out the principle behind it and I started applying it. It made me some money but defiantly wasn’t the golden ticket like many claimed it to be back in the day. The fact that people lie online to make money wasn’t a big surprise to me.

But it wasn’t until recently that I realized how ridiculous this whole idea was after spending some time on Twitter (Where else?!). Suddenly, many people have caught up to the affiliate marketing hype, and all of them are flexing online right now. The “I made this much money online selling X’s courses” tweets are all over the place. The reality is that most of them don’t make that much money. For some, it‘s a temporary nice side hustle but that seems to be about it. But most of them don’t see the scam behind the idea.

So let’s dive into why affiliate marketing is just another scam. Read More

There is an old saying that goes as follows: in life, nothing is given. Everything is earned.

This statement is not entirely true, in my opinion.

One thing has been given to you, which is your life.

Everything else has to be earned and, nothing is certain.

You or I could die in an hour. I could even die writing this. That would be a bummer since you’d miss out on some wisdom.

For some reason, people take a given life for granted, and they assume that they’ll somehow live until they’re 90.

Being in that dead state means that the idea of physical death is your heaviest burden to bear.

The only way to get rid of this fear is to actually live life.

As soon as you do that, physical death will be the least of your worries.

The people who never leave this state will face tons of regret at an old age.

This is ironic as well since those people mostly tell others how to live life.

What can I say…

Comfort kills, but it also pays the bills.

Why does everyone need motivation books and videos?

Why does everyone lack so much motivation for everything they do?

You either want it or don’t. Really that simple.

You have time to go to the gym today, if you have time to buy a book online and; wait for X amount of days to then read it for X amount of time.

Like seriously, you waste the time you wait + the time you read, and; you still get nothing done.

You seem more motivated than me if you can wait that long to get started.

I get shit done though, so here’s a piece of unwanted advice for the less-motivated.

Don’t order the book, it’s going to collect dust on the shelf anyways.

You’re never going to start what you wanted to do because you’re going to order another bullshit book or watch another 10-minute video with a cool soundtrack.

Just get off your ass, grow up, do what you need to do, and stop wasting your money on these idiot gurus.

That’s all the motivation you need.

Till next time

I’d have never sat on this spot if I didn’t go all out.

I’d probably never fought if I didn’t go all out since I was almost done with the sport (too many horrible coaches and pretenders in this game).

Did I take a risk? Absolutely.

Was it hard from time to time? Absolutely.

But in the end, fortune favors the bold.

You see, most people face a setback and cry.

I, on the other hand just try.

Trying got me a lot further in life than crying.

Think about that next time you watch a motivational speech or read a motivational self-help book.

That book will make you feel good and collect dust on the shelf as soon as you finish it.

You don’t need any of those. You just need to get after what you want and adapt along the way.

The ones that’ll claim you’re crazy will envy your life down the line.

Action, just like inaction, has a price.

That is what we call, the reality of life.

One that only a few are willing to face.
