Today I'm cleaning house (in a manner of speaking; it's really just myself and my room). After all, you can't improve anything else if you don't improve yourself first.

To borrow (and paraphrase) an old quote - ha-ha, drain plug! Today, victory is MINE! :D Note to self: a few longer ratchets for times like this. Credit to @ericthecarguy for the DIY video on how to do this job in a Honda (stay dirty and stay true to you, big guy!), and @princess_auto for supplying the breaker bar (photo #4) that let me finally get this done! :) #hondacivic #honda #transmissionfluid #transmissionfluidchange #finallygotit #finallybeingdone #nevereasy #lessonsnotfailures #toughchallenge #oldbolts #oldbolt #leverage #leveragelove (at Airdrie, Alberta)

You want to change your results? Change your thinking - focus on delayed gratification. The hard work you do now will, done in the proper volume and the proper manner, yield massive dividends in the future; taking the lazy route, on the other hand, will pay off only in the moment. Only one path of the two will lead you to long-term success. Which path do you choose?

When you find someone who stands with you, no matter what comes your way or what transformation you go through - hold onto them at any reasonable cost. Don't let them go, don't change who you are solely to please them, and don't let your emotions clutter the bond itself... I know from experience what the consequences of the latter two can be; "deadly" doesn't even begin to describe it. As an entrepreneur and as a person, I've come to learn that true loyalty is rare; it is to be cherished, and nourished. However, despite those limitations... it can also be among a person's greatest strengths.

This post speaks for itself. If you create negativity, drama or BS for yourself and the people around you - and especially if you try and drag me into it! - then be prepared to never see me again. There is no room for those things here, nor those who have nothing better to do than give into that garbage!

A personal creed I've lived by most of my life - and in recent years have struggled with. Thankfully, my mentors have helped me relearn this. Credit to @tonyrobbins for the original photo, and @mojoeephraim for helping me relearn this creed. There is absolutely more to you both than meets the eye. #martinlutherking #darknessandlight #hateandlove #creed #lifelesson #neverforget #allin #nevergiveup #motivation (at Calgary, Alberta)

Something I've learned (the hard way this past weekend) that I need to do. I'm quickly learning that in order for phenomenal success to come your way (however you measure that success!), phenomenal risks must be taken - and in order to take those risks properly, this training must be done. No ifs, ands or buts. If you cannot train your mind to let go of all your greatest fears, then you'll just keep snapping back to the same place - and while I don't know everything, I do know this: being stuck in the same place is the bane of anyone who is trying to improve and enrich themselves or others, entrepreneur or not. Train yourself - enrich yourself. The journey will be painful, but the results will be immensely satisfying. Good luck!

Even on the worst of days, buried under all the rage and pain you feel at those times, there is always something to be grateful for... if you choose to be. When the grief settled from my massive series of losses three years ago, I was grateful for a series of things - still being alive and whole, still able to work, still able to drive, among many others! - but I had to choose to go that route... to be grateful, not bitter. It's a long, tough road to that decision, if you're not careful. That being said, choose to be grateful; choose to be humble. Choose to search every single day from the best to the worst, that you may find something to be grateful for - because as is said in the photo, even a day of disaster full of fighting and struggle is better than no day at all. Never forget the struggle you went through to reach your success story - and if you're still fighting now, as I have been, remember this: as long as there is breath in your body, function in your brains and blood in your veins, your challenge - whatever it may be - is beatable... you need only be grateful, even if only for the chance to try and beat it.

Are you in a battle to free yourself - from debt, from a bad environment, from a bad or outdated mindset? If you are - do you REALLY think that battle stops on a weekend? I know my answer to both those questions. Do you? If you don't, ask yourself those questions - and use your weekends wisely. Time to go out there and kick more tailpipe, people - dominate, hard!

In (what ended up being) the finale to the Amazing Spider-Man film saga (the final film appearance of Gwen Stacy to date, that is), @emmastone spoke a line that should resonate with all who fight and struggle through any challenge: "Hold on to hope." If you hold onto hope with everything you have, then nothing stops you. Nothing ever will, as long as you DO NOT LET GO of hope and light; if you do let go of that, then you lose everything of value no matter how successful you become. Never forget that there are no hopeless causes, no unbeatable scenarios; there is only a choice - to hold onto hope. Choose wisely.

The first rule of any major struggle, especially one outside "normal life" - take your haters' opinions and show them where to go (and how to get there!) Whether you're restoring credit using extreme methods, making lifestyle changes or taking steps towards entrepreneurship and/or ownership - always remember Rule One. It'll serve you well as you evolve.

In the words of Sherlock Holmes - eyes and brains, Watson! Remember always that utilised properly, your eyes and brains can be your greatest tools as you grow and evolve - not just in work, but in every aspect of life itself!

Humility is key to true success - the best of the best show that every day, no matter their level of success or how that success is measured. Modern day success stories like @ericthecarguy and @chrisfixit started from the gutter or worse - and now they're making a difference to hundreds of thousands, staying humble every day! If they can be successful and humble in combination, what's stopping you? Hubris? Arrogance? Find what's stopping humility from being part of your life - and eliminate that blockage. You'll be surprised what will come when you do. :) To that end - my thanks to those who follow my feed and learn from these posts. You make this effort worthwhile on every front. If you're seeking solutions to automotive issues, check out those success stories I mentioned; they just might have a DIY method you can use.

This is among my greatest pet peeves. If you stand with me in any capacity (most especially as an entrepreneurial ally, in spirit or otherwise!), remember this always. If you're struggling, remember this always - whether the struggle comes from building fortune for yourself or simply making a lifestyle change. If you have haters, you're doing something right.

A small lunch while I'm out and about - not the healthiest selection, I admit, but in this current situation swiftness trumps health.

In the words of @jasonfaunt, we each make our own destiny. You can choose to become a product of your environment, or you can become something bigger - something that makes a difference! Forget that at your peril - because if you do, unless you've surrounded yourself with (and listen to) accountability partners, you're cooked.
