What I wish I was reading NOW – and when the week feels like the weekend. Hehe.

Charles, a former friend of mine once told me the following about his week –

“Given I do nothing so often, it’s a struggle to not say bored”.

Now thats profound indeed, eh.

Charles wasn’t “Rockefeller” by any means.

But for a while there, he did have a pretty good gig going in the dancing monkey biz – except he was the one running the show (or his girlfriend was with him, but either way, still) – and so it was a real business.

People showed up, they paid.

He had big plans. Buying a house, car, so forth…

I had seen it all before, of course, but when I gave any advice it was all regarded as “bullshit” and “you need to see the light at the end of the tunnel” (when I was talking about the future of ESL being BLEAK, bleaker, BLEAKEST!) – and (on a trip out of China) “you need to get back to where the money is NOW!”

For a guy that used to earn (when he did deign to do it, which he hardly ever did) more than double what these wackos earned being a dancing monkey per hour – I dont think he needed to tell me the money part!

But anyway … he had a good thing going for a while.

Then came, of course, the first winds.

The first gales of resistance.

He tried to survive. Keep the biz open.

But, as is usual with most that start a business within a few months, it FOLDED.

I still remember all the messages I sent him on persistence, all the messages “from someone thats been there, done that” in Marc’s words “someone that has created his own brand (perhaps four or five, actually) from SCRATCH”, done a hell of a lot more and so forth …

All ignored.

He packed up, left a good thing where he was working mainly on Saturday – one day of the week – and left.

I then told him to make a business out of making beer, from what I hear he’s damn good at it (so good that Butt-loving Bozo even broke in one night, desperate – he didnt find any butts there, but he drank all the beer and got kicked out out on the road – story well told by now!) (he did manage to steal a few pairs of female knickers while he was at it, ugh, what a FELLOW!) – but he pooh poohed it.

“What do you know”

“You’re just a one man show!” I remember him taunting me.

When I told him that one man shows can be HUGE – from one’s bedroom – that I had done businesses selling tea and so forth, and STILL Do in these times of plague or what not, he pooh poohed it again.

“There’s no prizes for being right”.

I wouldn’t be surprised to hear dude either got married (to stay on in China) – or is working a monkey job (for the visa).

But anyway, such as it goes.

Persistence, my friend, is to the character of man what CARBON is to steel.

Not mine, Napoleon Hill.

Persistence is truly the motherlode of ALL LASTING SUCCESS!

But anyway, he had NOTHING to do during the week when he was at that biz. One would have thought he’d have built multiple businesses with all the free time as opposed to just drink his life away …

Hey.

I did a lot of that too.

And I freely admit, there have been years – 2019 was one, where I did NOT focus on THIS biz as much as I should have!

But I still did it.

I’ve kept my fitness businesses going since 2010 – and the other ones too!

I just haven’t buckled down full time on them for a vast portion of them years.

But even in 2019 – I was focused big time on other businesses, so it wasn’t like I was doing “nothing”.

Like the great Napoleon Hill himself , I “had to be taught my lesson the hard way“. Hehe.

My “purpose in life” was something other than every other business I tried, and like Hill, “I had to be cured of my thinking in this regard through temporary disappointment”.

And on that note …

Right now?

It’s been a hectic weekend, hehe.

17 emails per day I believe…!

And lots of sales, new contacts etc.

Which is all great, but now.

I’m exhausted!

And being the week has started, I wonder if I should start my weekend. Hehe.

Right now, if I had to read something?

I’d be drinking a cold one, of course, with it! Maybe one of Charles IPA’s if he’d be kind enough to let me try! Don’t worry, Chuck, I wouldnt break into your beer house for it, hehe.

And I’d be reading…

Napoelon Hill’s Outwitting the Devil – its like I wrote the damn thing, so true does it ring!

Or, not even that. I might just read one of my own books on the other site – the erotica books – or perhaps some of the “how to’s!”

Some of those books, such fond memories writing them!

I used to wake up in the AM.

Get emails from my publisher (I do it solo now, but they were and remain great great guys – Phil and Steve in the UK!) . . .

And then I’d get to work on my book.

Novels.

I’d lose myself in that world for hours.

Lunch.

Then exercise.

Then back to it.

Sleep. Rinse. Repeat. I loved it!

But right now, I dont know.

Outwitting the Devil would be ONE book I’d have by me.

But the other, friend, would be an eternal classic.

Fast and Furious Fitness, my very very first book – that I ever wrote and published, and even with another publisher – at that time, in India, now, I’m not sure where they are!

I’d be looking at the glossy cover, leafing through them pages, “remembering” the living room I started out in ….

Remember when I was a phat phock, and yet had the courage to put out Fast and Furious Fitness – DO the thing even when I was a phat phock (500 pushups a day!!) – not only that, put out the first version of Pull-ups – from DUD to STUD within weeks – and the bestselling, even back then, Gorilla Grip.

The latter two books have been expanded now, of course.

But, Fast and Furious Fitness never was.

It’s a classic, like I said.

An ETERNAL CLASSIC!

It NEVER GOES OUT OF STYLE!

I did create 0 Excuses Fitness, of course, modeled on that book (x 10).

But Fast and Furious Fitness still contains info the other book doesn’t.

Its a classic – we all love it – I love it more than any of my other fitness books probably!

And if there is ONE book I had to choose out of all my superb training manuals (John, I love it when you call ’em that – so do I!) – it is THIS.

Two copies remaining.

I’ll crack one open now.

But remember, you guys can and should get the book too – because once gone, this edition is GONE. No more glossy covers, no more reprints.

So friend, take ACTION NOW!

Dont just sit there and be “on the fence”.

Take action now – order the book -let me know – and we’ll have it out to you PRONTO!

Those of you that request it, I’ll even autograph it for you at NO extra charge.

Hurry – clock starts NOW!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Again, this is a classic from the Rahul Mookerjee shelves, and if you’re part of the growing bunch of people that SIMPLY MUST have everything I’ve written – then this is one!

Another classic is Advanced Hill Training …
