Hi, Y'all.
Mike Tyson's statements hit me square in the gut.
It came up while he was on the phone with a prospective coaching client.
(Yes, that's right. Business lessons from former Heavyweight Champion, Mike Tyson)
And right away, he was taken back to a long-ago talk he had with his wife, Laura.
He worked hard but was ultimately unsuccessful.
putting everything (both time and money) into it...
I'd like to learn more about what it is that people do on the internet.
It seemed that no matter what he did, the outcome was the same (and believe me, he tried it all).
He was never successful in establishing a profitable online venture of his own.
It was humiliating for him to admit it.
He was, however, more concerned with his success than with hers.
He explained it away by saying, "It won't be like this forever."
However, she then presented him with a couple of choices.
And this made him even more determined!
I was a passenger aboard the same sinking ship.
I'm doing everything I can to make something I'm working on a success.
He would rush home from work, shut the door behind him, and immediately begin working on his side business.
(With no luck... but it happened to me once)
Finally, but by no means least, his wife told him:
Please stop doing this because your loved ones are in NEED of YOU.
He appeared to be getting closer, but in reality, he was still a long way
away, and it broke his heart.
He eventually overcame his pride and asked for Michael Cheney's help in getting things moving in the right direction.
This exact same thing was shown to him.
