Embracing Your Inner Oddball
May 10, 2025
Often times increasing your financial momentum requires more than investing in real estate or buying or starting a business and making it grow. There are certain personal adjustments that need to be made. I’m talking about making changes in your mindset, your attitudes, your daily routines and your inner circle.
Who Influences You
A person’s inner circle has more influence on their success in business and in life than most people realize. How many times have you heard something like this:
Who made you an expert at that?
Why would anyone pay you for that when they can get that for free online?
It takes money to make money
You don’t want to own business or you don’t want to be a landlord, it’s too hard.
You should just go get a job like everyone else.
Why are you such an oddball? Are you too good to get a job?
I’ve heard all of these from friends and family. Some from my own mother. And in case you hadn’t noticed yet, family members are usually the most negative people when it comes to your choices in your life because after all, they are “experts” on your life.
Go Ahead, It's OK
Be the oddball they think you are. Because it’s the oddballs of the world who dare to be different and innovative, that are the happiest and most successful.
You do what you were put here to do and don’t worry about what they say. Your inner circle should not include people who constantly tell you why you are going to fail. What they are actually saying is they subconsciously want you to fail because they wish they could do what you are doing but they can’t. They can’t because they don’t believe and so they become your inner circle gremlins encouraging you to self sabotage.
History is full of oddballs who made the world better and became successful by solving problems with their crazy ideas.
You are able to read this newsletter because Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak created the first personal computer and changed the world. What if he had listened to the people in his life that told him he was crazy?
You are better than what your inner circle thinks you are. Entrepreneurs periodically have to review their inner circle and decrease contact with certain members and increase contact with the members who are uplifting and positive.
Embrace your inner oddball, ignore your inner circle gremlins and move onward and upward.
