      Here's some tips for becoming successful.
      1) Take control of your own health.
      2) Learn about the power of the mind.
      3) Walk in in the tracks of people who have already done what you plan to do.
      I found these tips from the Magic Progress Shortcut (google it if you're interested) without a doubt the best info on success i've heard of.

      You own you an explanation, you need to tell you what you were supposed to find the way you are and and wannabees all overall, I'd get allergic to stupid questions and who to care for when you realise real roots are being or not being aware of the difference between time and effort to please or displease or to insult again nobodies are you free to mind your work and make the time to not be a cocktails but the interest in it.

Now, I am a licensed IIA, and nearly a year after first stumbling across the Dr, I have been self-employed in my own right and making more money per month than I ever did in my life.

    • @faa1412
      @faa1412 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      +Alty Not even most, i'd say half, because I know African Americans who also think like Eric Thomas. Like he said, there will be racism until the day he dies so there's no point in wallowing in it. At the end of the day, it hasn't stopped successful blacks from achieving great things, and for some racism even propelled them to do great things. It's all about perspective. There are many non-blacks who want to see black people succeed but black people seem to not think so and think everybody is out to get them. They don't even realize they have so much power but yet they listen to "woe is me pro black hustlers" who play on their emotions and illogical thinking. Not all but some. I know some black people who get tired of hearing other black people complain about everything. A black person is more likely to deal with bullshit from their own people than racist non-black people.

I graduate the 28 impatient treatment in 3 days. And I am going to continue with my recovery on to a sober living house. "I can,. I will, and I must." After 20 years of suffering from the active disease of addiction, I'm finally doing something about because I got up and did something about it. I wanted to be clean and sober more than I wanted to breathe, more than sleep. E.T. my brother you have inspired me to reach beyond my wildest dreams.... Limitless is new goal. Because I can, I will, and I must get up and change this vicious cycle of the disease of addiction. Because I believe I'll be able to help somebody that's walked in my shoes one day because I've been inspired by Eric Thomas. Thank you my brother.

I have been watching your video every morning at 6:30am and then working out. I had given up and ET has made it possible for me to realize I OWE MYSELF!

    This man's words and wisdom holds more weight than any wannabe black activist of today. He's lived through the struggle and faced adversity on so many levels. He didn't make excuses or chose to remain a victim to the injustices of the world. He is indeed living proof that life can deal you a shifty hand, but how you play that hand is the difference between success and failure.

You are the REASON for I'm doing this. you help me when I was down, I feel depressed and loser, I watched on TH-cam a video with subtitles in Spanish "Secretos del éxito" and that moment my life changed. I started to push myself, I got into the university, my past was very sad, a lot of pain in my soul, many times I feel alone, I didn't want to study, I don't have a job, my situation was very critical until I find you, and today I'm working on my dreams, now I know the power inside of me, I'm happy and hungry, you say: everybody wants to be a beats until it's time to do what beats do! that's true!, the pain is temporary, that's true!, everything you say are true, I'm reading your book "the secret to success", I'm learning a lot. thank you for help people like me, you are the reason of my success, I'm grateful to you... sorry for my mistakes (grammar).
