How Stress Can Make You More Money

Are you mentally a powerful person? Before you answer with a big YES!!! Answer the following question.

Suppose Uncle Sam calls you and asks for immediate payment of $10K you owe him for taxes; you only got 30 days to pay the money, or he will send you to jail to spend some time with some massive people staring at your ass.

Do you stress out and cry on your partner's butt, or do you take full responsibility and work out a solution?

Most people I know or don't know brag about how strong, creative, or effective they are. Still, whenever I need help and offer money for it, they somehow fail to accept the challenge because my issue seems complicated or stressful, which isn't a typical situation they can handle.

I seldom see someone who isn't a top achiever accept to take a tough challenge and strive to win and get the best results. People are just too soft; they freak themselves out, give up way too soon, head back to their tiny safe zone with their tails hanging between their legs, and listen to a motivational guru to feel better about themselves.

Over the years, I have learned to develop a mental mindset I call "the science of not giving a f**k about the most stressful situations" for a simple reason negative stress doesn't solve the problem; it worsens it.
