Act your Wage!

"I want to scream and poop, maybe at the same time!" I veered the car strongly as my head bounced off the steering wheel in a fit of laughter so ferocious it is actually illegal in many Muslim countries. This was the answer my wife gave to the question about a new blog post called act your wage. We played around a number of thoughts and then I said "Yah, but what do you do when your a freakin sweet entrepreneur and your wage is roughly nothing!" Below I've added a few impressions of said answer by popular bloggers:

Seth Godin -
A little note on screamers and poopers.
1) Not all screamers where created equally
2) Most poopers where created equally
3) Only your most gifted customers can scream and poop, create a product FOR them, create a purple poop.

Hugh MacLeod -
Just doing a little thinking on screaming, pooping etc. Pooping scales, people don't.

Johnny B Truant -
My oldest is five, but six years ago I'm reading a book called "Everybody Poops", and suddenly it hits me that me and Larry Fishburn are the same because we both poop pure F*$#@G INSPIRATION! (then I Johnny create this weird sensation of laughing at my own jokes while working with a silent medium, amazing).

Back to Ben, I will spend a little time in future post's digging into this idea acting your wage but first I have two critical and unrelated points to make.

1) You better have somebody in your life you can laugh that hard with when you actually are making zero dineros an hour (seriously, right now I am making roughly $0 at a brick and morter business with $10k in monthly bills, losers refer to this as a learning experience).

2) If you are not driving home at 8pm on a Tuesday night talking about your next blog post and up at 4:30am the next day writing it early because you have to rush off to work your backside off for nothing but hope, you need to watch Brogan's videos again.

3) Related to #2 I feel an inspirational post coming on that's going to be epic, but as Tony Robbins says "Inspiration is like a warm bath, sit in it too long and you just get cold and slimy and your wife tells you to get moving and what's wrong with you so you just slip down deeper in the bath until your ears are covered with water and it sounds like your inside a delicious fourth of July layered jello desert." Ok, Tony only said the first part but it's true, so go do something amazing and I'll write you all something inspiring afterward, like the M&M's I use to keep my two year old respectful.


P.S. I'll also be touching very soon on why on Thanksgiving Day I'm going to shoot my brother "American Gangster" style during the middle of the day in the streets of Harlem (also known as my parents upper middle class suburban house) to make a point and hopefully bring the whole family closer together but with me in charge.
