Your ODDS of Making It in this business!

  1. I have been told about the odds of making it and not making it so many times
    it becomes a joke.

    Some of the odds of making it success stories:

    Look kid, sorry. I know talent when I see it. You are a decent basketball
    player–but that was grammer school. This is High School. You just can’t
    compete at this high level. I am cutting you before your dreams get
    shattered. —Michael Jordan’s high school coach before he cut him from the
    team.

    Blah blah about the same quote as above. Scottie Pippen’s high school coach
    before he cut him from the team.

    You are over 65 years old. You want to start a career in the restaurant
    business? Don’t waste your social security checks.—Colonel Sanders
    friends.

    “You want to get an aircraft instrument rating in a month. HA. It took John
    Glenn 6 weeks to get his instrument rating. You are not John Glenn. Spend
    the necessary year and become a safe pilot. Alex Wasilewski’s friends and
    previous flight instructor.

    “Congratulations. You have tied the American Aviation record for the
    shortest time to achieve an FAA instrument rating.” FAA flight test
    supervisor to Alex Wasilewski. Quoted six DAYS after the previous quote.

    “What an idiot. Doesn’t he know that the leading medical and physiological
    experts have conclusively determined that the human body is incapable of
    running a mile in under 4 minutes.—- the leading experts to Roger
    Bannister about a year before he became the first human to break the 4
    minute mile barrier. Now this “impossibility” is routinely broken by very
    good high school athletes.

    The list goes on and on.

    Don’t let anyone tell you that your not good enough!

    Alex

    You always have a chance to become the best, the main thing is to be able to use it and to want it. We can succeed in different areas, you just need to be purposeful and go for your dream
