F#&K IT!

"Why not go out on a limb? Isn't that where the fruit is?"-- Frank Scully

A good friend of mine wrote me an email today explaining how my blog gave him the inspiration to just say "FUCK IT" (F.I. for businesses that monitor your emails) on a business deal which he closed because of his "F.I." approach! It made me think for a while about not only the successes that I have had from that thought process, but the victories, accomplishments, and success stories you read about from that very message. Why don't more people just say..."Fuck IT!..I'm going for it. You only live once and I am going to LIVE!"
This rings home to me because I had that very epiphany two years ago when an acquaintance's father (not even a friend)died suddenly. I don't know why I was affected? I don't know why I cared? But for some reason, it was eye opening. Why do we NOT TAKE RISKS?! RFK said it best "Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly." Why is it that our generation feels the need to wear a tie everyday, say yes to everything, have a boring corporate job, and make middle class money! WHY I ASK?! WHY?!
Well I am hear to say FUCK IT. Last year I went for it. On my first side venture, I went for it and it worked! I'm not making a million bucks off of it...yet...but it gave me the eye opening experience of what its like to start, own, and succeed in business...by MY OWN IDEAS AND MERRITT. I have three friends that feel the same way. One of which wrote me the email. But why aren't there more of us? Why cant we all do it together?
I took a step back after the persons death and found myself insanely curious to how he led such a successful life (which he did...the dude was loaded). Which then in turn, started me on my journey of reading books on success and business. Which in turn, has led me to this blog. I mean really...a blog? But I said Fuck it...I am going to live my life to the fullest. I am going to take advantage of ever opportunity that comes across my desk. AND MOST OF ALL...I am going to enjoy the ride.
The next time you feel that little bit of fear in the back of your head when you want to start an idea, meet your future spouse, or make that momentous first move in anything...do the following:

Take a deep breath and just say FUCK IT...I will only live once!
