How Do I Get Started? Where Do I Start?

If you want to do something with your life (other than what you are doing right now), you must CREATE a Goal.

Stop sittin' around on your ass brain-storming and thinking about "what you like and don't like" and "what you're good at" and "what you're interested in" and all that other crap!

Get the party started:

"Establish a Goal."

I know you've heard that saying a million times before, but it works.

The easiest thing to do is to write it down on a piece of paper and put it on your wall - by your bed or by your door.

When you wake up or when you get ready to go out to conquer the world, you want your goal to be the first thing you see. You want to stay focused on it. Burn it into the forefront of your brain.

If you have a desk, put it in a picture frame and stick in on your desk so that you see it.

If you can't stick on your wall by the door, put it on your wall by your bed.

"What if I don't know what I want to do?"

There could be a number of reasons why you're having a mental roadblock right now. I only want to list two of them.

One: You're distracted by other issues and problems. Too worried or angry to think straight.

Two: You're distracted by your interactions (or drama) with people.

Three: You're not aware of (or considering) the main issues in your life you want to resolve.

 Four: You are limiting yourself and not considering other options or exploring other opportunities.

Think of your Major Goal. Then, work your way backwards.

Create a "Things To Do List". 

Write down what you will NEED to do to achieve that goal and things that will give you the power, energy, and focus to achieve the goal.

Your needs will be any tools, training, supplies, resources, conversations or meetings, etc.

The things that will help keep you focused, powerful, and driven, are your personal necessities - the things you need to survive and the things you need to do to keep your mind and your world sharp and efficient.

Take care of these things right away so that you don't have to think about them.

Keeping yourself "ahead of the game" is what this is all about.

Don't allow the crap to pile up and overwhelm you. That's disrespectful to your Self. And, it makes it harder for you to concentrate on your Major Goal.

Moreover, be certain that the goal you're choosing is a Major Goal. Or, is it really a stepping stone to something bigger that you want to achieve???

Be sure that you have your Major Goal and Minor Goals written down all around you.

I like to use index cards and scotch tape my goals and "things to do" list on my walls.

Don't write your goals down so small that you have to hold the paper to your eyeball to see it. Write it Big enough so that it catches your attention easily. You want to be able to read Goal from anywhere in the room.

In fact, write it all down with a black marker (fine point) so that it's bold and stands out.

Don't hesitate, and don't be lame. If you want to be a Boss, you gotta' get in the game.

Get your hustle on right now.


- The Player's Lifestyle

Never Doubt Yourself Or Your Mission

(From the archives of Maximum.Dzl)

One thing that Really pisses me off and makes me despise haters and doubters is when those losers try to make a Player or an Aspiring Player feel ashamed about his or her goal or job.

And, what pisses me off even more than that is when a Player who's doing his or her job well - or one who is in excellent pursuit of his or her goal - stops focusing on the goal or abandons his or her job because of what those jackasses are saying.

Why listen to people who have no vision? Or, people who have no ambition? They don't know what you're doing or what you're capable of.

Ignore those bums. Let those jackasses laugh and talk.

There are - and have been - many Players who got laughed at because of their dreams and ambitions. Now, these Players are laughing all the way to the bank. Or, they're living a better life. On their journey they didn't let all of those laughing idiots slow them down or break their spirit. They went on to accomplish their goals and dreams.

Why? Because True Players stay focused. They see the big picture. They stay passionate and enthusiastic about what they're doing. They keep studying, learning, and practicing. They keep making contacts and improving their resources. And, they keep working smarter and smarter. They keep making moves towards their goal.

If you're doing what you do well, and believe in it, and know that it's useful (to you or others), then screw those assholes.

Those damn bums (the haters and doubters) will say anything to try to get you off the path to wealth, riches, honor, and good karma - or whatever you desire. Those jibba-jabbin'-jackasses are gonna yap yap yap all day long, so don't worry about it.


They'll do and say anything to get you rattled, upset, and un-focused. But, you've got to keep looking ahead. You've got to keep your eyes and mind focused on the big picture.


You know what you're doing is right because it makes you feel good and it's useful so, screw those bums. Keep your game tight and stay in the zone. Don't change your path or stop what you're doing unless your instincts lead you to change.

I remember a song by 50 Cent, the rapper, that included the line "You sing for hoes and sound like the Cookie Monster".

At the time, he and another rapper, JaRule, were arch-rivals if not enemies. Well, the song by 50 Cent was "hot" and it got people to talking and laughing at JaRule. And, I don't remember JaRule "singing to hoes" after that.

Now, I'm not gonna lie. It ticked me off. Not because I'm a fan of JaRule and hate 50 Cent. They both put out some good music. I don't care if they're enemies (although, I wish they weren't), I had both of their CDs in my collection. But, the thing that ticked me off was that JaRule got off of his game. He came back with some other hot songs and was still a fan favorite but he was quiet for a while.

I didn't even think it was a contradiction when 50 Cent started "singing to hoes" because he never really said it was a bad thing to "sing to hoes". He just stated an observation. All he said was JaRule was "singing to hoes" and sounded like the Cookie Monster. So, why did Jah stop singing to the hoes when they were buying his albums like hotcakes and swooning all over him like he was the Next Denzel Washington?

He should've kept his mind focused, stayed on his game, sung up a damn storm.

I would've been at home practicing and practicing until I sounded like damn Barry White or Frank Sinatra.

If you've got a talent for something (or, if you've found your "calling in Life"), stay at it and keep improving yourself until you're one of the best at it. Once you "claim it" no one can take it away from you. That's one of the Cosmic Laws of the Universe.


Don't give up and don't worry about what anyone else says. Let your instincts and enthusiasm be your guide. You're a Player and that's what Player's do.

Your instincts will tell you to hold on or to let go. Stop only when You wanna stop. Stop only when You decide it's not the path for you OR when various situations and circumstances lead you towards a new destiny.

The same holds true for something you need or want: "Follow your Instincts".

Screw what the haters and doubters think. They're probably just mad because they can't be you.

So, follow your Dreams and Stay on the path to The Good Life and The Player's Lifestyle. In the end, it'll be You sittin' on top of the World, looking down on the haters and doubters, and getting the last laugh.
