Well Steemians, it's another awesome Friday once again and guess what? Many people are excited and pumped up for no reason at all. Let me explain...
Every weekend, Millions of people will go out partying, eating, drinking, movies, shopping, and spending tons of money they don't have, exhausted oneself... just to wake up Saturday morning drained, unmotivated and lazy regretting what they did yesterday.
I can people saying this right now... "So what Charles... I worked so hard this week and I deserve it! What wrong with that!"
We'll if you want to be "Average" in life, you can keep doing that... not a problem but stop "bitchin" all the time why other people are more successful than you are.
You see, I use to be that guy wasting every weekend doing the same things - what's worse (I live in Las Vegas for God sakes, Party Town of all time) and I believed it was my right to celebrate because I thought I deserved it... but the truth was that there was nothing to celebrate about.
When I woke up and realized these things were not helping me with my life, I stopped doing them 99% of the time to focus on other goals that I wanted to accomplish.
I'm not saying that all these things are wrong, however too many people waste their precious time doing activities every weekend and then "bitch" about why they are not successful all week. It's like a vicious cycle.
Here are some rules to live by:
Stop spending money you don't have.
Stop trying to impress people.
Stop drinking.
Stop wasting time.
Stop complaining.
Stop being negative.
Stop making excuses.
Stop lying to yourself.
I have made lots of successful friends throughout the years, and guess what? They HUSTLE and GRIND more on the weekend than they do during the week.
The truth tends to hurt people's feelings and I hope this didn't. It's just another way to look at what one can accomplish if they shift from average to greatness.
Have an awesome weekend guys and just remember, the grind don't ever stop :)

That's what's up boss! Set em straight!
I have a quote I've been waiting for the right time for.
This just inspired me to use it tomorrow.
Us entrepreneurs think the same way, the grind never stops 😂💪🏼🙌🏼💯
this fantastic thing i don't really understand.. people works hard ( like slaves) for 6 days/week, and they spend all money earned on 7th day. And start again next week... wtf??
That's insanity huh? They all called me nuts 20 years ago when I started online marketing 😂
For those of you that struggle with list of do nots here is a list of what to do! Here are some rules to live by:
Stop spending money you don't have.Spend less then you make.Stop trying to impress people.Be yourself and don't apologize for it.Stop drinking.Drink lots of water!Stop wasting time.Value your time.Stop complaining.Be grateful.Stop being negative.Be positive.Stop making excuses.Overcome challenges don't let them over come you.Stop lying to yourself.Honesty although brutal is easier to remember then a lie.It doesn't matter if the cup is half ful or half empty, if your thirsty drink up!
Love this! I like to see it as, " there is no glass"... be water 💖
Thanks, I knew you would appreciate it!
Yep! 99% people work all weak (week) just to get to the weakened (weekend) and wonder why they have no energy...or money..or time... basically they don't value themselves very highly. I know, I used to be one of them.
I was the same way 20 years ago... always looking forward toward the weekend to celebrate. Now the weekend are the best day to get things done :)
now you said it.
I used to party a lot when I was young.. yes it was fun, but when you do it week in week out, it just gets mundane and well ..I guess it just lost it's power.
I don't want to sound like a 'fart' lol.. but now at 32 I get satisfaction out of helping my patients (basically being their arms and legs 💛 )- elder care.
& the rewards are the most heartwarming feeling I have ever known.
cant be beaten 💛
{ the sunshine looks AMAZING where you are by the way....we dont get that here alot, in Ireland)!
You're still young @aineyann haha
When people have purpose in their lives, all the other stuff gets boring.
One of these days, I need to visit Ireland, heard it's awesome!
True true !!!!!... funny how as the years go forward priorities change too!!!
Totally !!! Youd love it here, so much heritage!... ie castles and green everywhere!!! , if you like that kinda thing !
Vegas has it's own Castles haha .... Yeah been on this planet for over 4 decades already (not saying age) haha
I would of thought more like 2 decades + 0.25
:]
I'm so glad it is Friday and the Weekends are coming up. I just want to relax or party.
I don't know how you remain dedicated even though you live in Las Vegas @stackin. Always grinding and hustling non stop
I'll probably keep doing what I'm doing and carry on with my daily blogs and my constant flurry of comments.
Better work my arse off now than miss out when steem begins to get bigger and bigger and it becomes harder to grow
Great tips @stackin and I hope you have a great weekend bud
You are the go to guy for the best comments on Steemit lol ...
Like you said, you'll be happy months from now cause you put the work in early :)
Hey rockstar! Party On!
I love drinking a beer when it's hot while I am on Steemit!
You come by one of these days to Vegas, got the "STACKIN" bar with 100's of bottles at the crib. Only business talk 😂😂😂
you're absolutely right, our time is limited we have to stop doing things just to stay comfortable and escape from anything made us tired that's not how life works. we have to add a value to our live and don't let it be meaningless. the limitations that we make prevent us from amazing challenges and adventures out there. there's no worth than living in an infinite loop, doing the same things every day. insightful article @stackin have a wonderful day .
Mannnn @mostaga1, great comment. You get what I'm talking about! :)
Dang we are on the same plane at the moment haha! My post I just made was about stop making excuses and lying to yourself even if the truth hurts.
#bet!
I need to stop lying to myself that it's ok that I gained 5 lbs last month and it's ok 🤣
One of my fave quotes is "My greatest enemy is the inner me"... gotta fight off the urge to be average or even sub-par...
Pay now, play later!
Totally agree, I battle myself everyday 😀
Just don't battle me, okay? XD
A few years ago it was common for me to spend half my paycheck on alcohol. GOD if I could get that money back to have invested in Bitcoin just a couple of years ago we would be set for life! The road not taken. But at least I'm awake now and making those changes. GREAT POST!
Hey now, alcohol is valuable if you don't drink it :)
Yeah, that's some truth with that... people spend like $100 -$500 on the weekend to go out but then say they can't invest $50 in steem, SMH SMH haha
Working everyday is the only way.
GRIND TIME :)
One day, the "stack" will be high enough that you can chill on the weekend ... and the week.
Game Over
You Win
Na, I did that for many years... I got bored chillin 😂😂😂
Everyday is a weekend over here!
I beleive that, the life of an entrepreneur 🙌🏼
50% increase in price today, another tomororw and we will see $2 stem! lets fuck up some commas!
I love it when it's around a $1, less people buying and more for me 😂
yeah yeah yeah I know but there comes a time when we need to see a upward trend for steem and you cant always act like the half is half full when its almopst empty lol but hey, maybe im wrong and we should be happy for steem to be this cheap
Its just taht if it stays too cheap for to long peopel assume its sucks an wont ever get in! we need $10 steem because why not? Its stil cheap! Steem will be $100 soon BUT YEAH man i KNOW what uyou mean
we will get to be those FEW people who bought a lot of bitcoin at $1
Sure we would be happy to buy Bitcoin at $1 or even $10 or even $100 or even $1000 but back THEN it wasnt so obviouis! NOW peopel KNOW to invst everything they have! (if theyre smart) people l;iek u and me know steem will be $1000 and bitcoin at $1 million but for most peopel they listen to morons who sa biutcoi is a buble liek the dot com bubble No bitcoin is NOT a stock its not fuckin tulips its crazy man i get so mad at all the normies who are just hurting themselves and their families buy ot investing in crypto!
Its not enough to just write them off as a loss and go 'Well more bitcoin for me!" because if more americans bought and mined bitcoin we could take away the mining dominance from the chinese! We need more bitcoin miners and NOT just buying contracts with genessi or mining pools people ned to be mining bitcoin with their own hardware !
man i dunno i feel like we all need to be working a lot harder and i almost wish I could just take drugs to work harder maybe I should be drinking coffee everyday or doing adderal or meth so I can stay on steemit for 10 hours without stopping LOL nah i wont do that i have gotten into these manic steemit post modes wheer i just start posting like crazy!
We need to aply for major business loans i bet if i could secure a $100,000 loan i could turn it into $10 million in a mater of a few months using altcoins investments!
we should be putting up craigslist ads for steemit in EVERY us city!
l agree! I love managing my money! I am probably the only girl in the world who doesn't enjoy the mall haha I love investing my earnings from my business and watching it grow, I love doing things that tickle my brain like reading, going hiking, dinner and good conversation with my tribe. Doesn't mean I don't go out, I do that too but in moderation. There's a stupid way to spend your money, there's a tight a** way to use your money and there is a smart way too, I prefer the smart way :)
You are one smart gal 😊🤣
Did you say mall? I havn't been at one of those for about 10 years 😳
Let me high five you hahaha :)
So true. I'm definitely pro to that concept. People want to make things up in their head that they 'deserve' a break, but just remember there is always that one other person that will not take that break. So we have the right to do as we wish with our time, but if it's not used perfectly, there will always be someone out there, who is more focused, and more disciplined than you are. That is also the person who is the most successful.
Awesome post my man! Consistency, consistency, consistency :) Talk soon.
Perfect comment, There will always be someone who grinds harder than you, all we have to do is grind harder than the average people :)
Woah damn straight. Nice way of putting that. Talk soon!
Fantastic attitude and way to be. I am so sick of those that point to people who have more and then just hate on them. Stop whining and start pushing to get to what you want. Then pull those around you up with you as you move up. Thanks for sharing!
I agree, when I see successful people in life, the motivate and inspire me instead :)
This is what I will be doing this weekend! :)
(no, I really don't look like that).
Sheshhh haha
Here is a man that is of my kind! No bullshit, follow the money bro!
You the man!!! BOSS! :)
In summary:
Successful people are willing to do what the unsuccessful are not. Great post, @stackin!
Do whatever it takes right? 💪🏼🙌🏼💯
No days off!
When I take days off, I'm actually creating lol
Wow. Awesome post @stackin Totaly agreed. I don't drink a lot or party, but weekends are my family days, especially Sundays, but I'm that kind of person that never really stops. I love your 8 rules to live by. It's a great reminder how we should live our lives. Thanks for sharing
You are awesome, thanks for the kinda words. Let's make it happen 🙌🏼
Hey, so are you, you are one of my favorites Steemian and thank you very much for your upvotes, greatly appreciated. Thanks to Stemians like you, we the newbie can make it happen.
Honestly I don't think I ever had one of those nights where I didn't regret it Saturday morning atleast a little bit. Hha
I had to many of those living in las vegas for 15 years haha...
Hell yes! If you take time off you will be left behind.
The words I used for a very long time, Don't get left behind! BOSS!
Hey man, I am just curious, have you ever read Victor Pride ? I ask this because you lay it down in a similar way, a very good way.
Agree.. spending money that we don't have, it has been a life style, then complaining when the credit card's bill arise and that is the reason why many peoples hate Monday. Otherwise, spend quality time with our family, cooking, gardening, less price but precious. We have the money but we never have TIME and we can't buy it. Thank you for sharing @stackin have nice weekend :)
Thanks for stopping by @rayfa, love your philosophy :)
Stop spending money you don't have.

8 Rules To Live By :)
I completely agree with this mate. I haven't had a free weekend in about 2 months, and I'm proud of that. Not saying there's anything wrong with resting and giving yourself a recharge, but I don't like wasting time either. Good post!
Yeah, its ok to take a break to reflect and like you said "recharge"... I may do that next sat :)
It's a Saturday and I am working at my day job. Your rules is my life.
Have a side hustle after work :)
eheheh steemit is my side hustle, oh and ebay.... my website doesn't count, no traffic...
A great contest opened up for those who hustle. Its called @spotlight They do weekly delegation contests.
I think thats for people with talent than hustle haha ... but thats awesome they provided a contest for steemians!
can I grin? can I grin on that grind? can I grin it? can I grind? Am a fin..am a fin...am a fin to a grin on that grind ... am a fin it.. lol
Just keeeeep on GRINDINNNNN hahaha
No days off! Shoutout everyone grinding this weekend! 💪
That's going to only be like 10% of us haha
you are right sir :)
If I'm wrong, oh wells 😂😂
Have a wonderful weekend bro!
You too 💪🏼🙌🏼😎

Stop hating and spread the love! <3
absolutely right mate. You know already that none of these habits require major life overhauls. Instead, it’s about making small tweaks to your daily routines that could potentially result in huge payoffs. Thanks for your motivational and million dollar post .
I agree with no wasting your time. However, I don't agree with hustling all the time because the only thing that will wait for you in the future is a major burnout syndrome, depression or similar.
Hustle, but be aware of your mental health and also don't forget to relax. Your mind can't go non-stop. Professional runners also need a break after they do marathon or even an ultra-long run. Even Usain Bolt used to rela for at least a few weeks after winning his gold medals.
@stackin - Sire, this is a great post. I love it. Wish you a nice weekend Sire.

I loved this passage, it's words summarizes the secret of a quiet and happy life and a high self-esteem
thanks a lot
What a great post with some true words from someone who knows what he's doing. This will help me grind through this weekend. Thanks for you work & effort.
Working all week to waste your money (and even money you don't have, like you said) in the weeknd is definitely a bad idea, they will stuck in average all their life, some people needs to see what they really want to do with their life.
I'm 18 years old and I'm not saying that I don't like parties because is a lie, But I prefer to concentrate on my goals, that they are going to give me the things that I really want.
Greetings and nice post!
Yes, they are a lot of time wasting activities. My next door neighbor and his boys always wants me to drink with them. I tell them I don't drink anymore. I used to drink with them. They spend hours drinking and talking the sh#t. I will talk to them a little bit then tell them I have story to write guys and it's already due so I have to go.
By doing the same thing again and again, our mind gets bored and if that does not add value to our life, that is not going to do any help for improving our life.So we should focus on the way how we can make ourselves better that yesterday. You have added some great points here.
You are spot on! I look forward to each weekend because that is when I do the work that feeds my SOUL. Being mom is my day job. The weekends are when I plan finances, sync calendars, line up classes, plan homeschool weeks, work out my trading plan for both cryptos and stocks, run to train for my next race, meal prep, hack away at the little things in home and life.
Pomodero. Or no pomodero. The weekend is when I DO WORK! The weekdays are just consumed. My husband and I have worked it to maximize between his job, my skills and freelancing, our goals. You have GOT to have goals!
Thanks and high five!
This just inspired me to stay focused. Party less, work hard and save more.
Amen brother! Those who work while the others give in to complacency will always end up ahead! :)
Such facts :) thanks for rollin by to my blog on a Friday haha
