35: You’ll Get Nowhere Fast If You Hold On To The Past

To say things have changed would be an understatement. New laws. New legislation. New regulations. In some industries, you have two choices. Either march to the new drum and follow the orders of government officials and bureaucrats... or look for different ways to earn a living. Pushing back against the system does nothing but waste energy. Fighting a battle you can't win only frustrates you and keeps you stuck.

When you're in this frame of mind, you can't see the opportunities that are all around you. You grind yourself down, get nowhere, and stay broke.

I'd rather take responsibility for myself and funnel my energy into things I can control.
