We’re a few weeks into football season.
So depending on how your fantasy draft went, you’re either riding a high of wins or you’ve already kissed your season goodbye.
And this is the part where I’m supposed to tell you about my latest waiver wire pickup, the sleeper nobody’s talking about, who to start on Sunday, yada yada yada.
I don’t have one.
Because I’ve made an observation and it’s got me a little worried…
…this whole thing is the Roman Colosseum all over again.
The Romans built the Colosseum so the warriors could fight and the citizens could stay distracted while the politicians pillaged and taxed everybody.
That’s what big sports are today.
Already people are piling up in front of the television to watch their favorite team play a sport they’re not even involved in.
They’re wearing another man’s name on their back…
…and that man wouldn’t recognize them if he walked right past them on the street.
Look, I’m telling you right now how this is gonna go.
You’re gonna spend Monday nights and every weekend watching grown men run around carrying a ball, hooting and hollering at a TV that can’t hear you.
Meanwhile your bills pile up, your relationship keeps eroding, and you keep binge drinking to “take the edge off” because hey, it’s the weekend, let me relax.
When what you should be doing is building your life.
Make no mistake, it’s easy to get sucked into the vices of life, and it always has been.
And dude, you know all the stats. The touchdowns, the injuries, who got traded, who’s starting Sunday, and you’ll be playing Monday Quarterback at the water cooler all week.
Now tell me your own numbers.
How many leads came in last month, what you closed, what you actually kept after expenses.
If you know another man’s stats better than your own, that’s a problem.
I share this with you because instead of being the main character in the story of your life…
…you’re acting like a supporting side character in the story of someone else’s.
HERE’S WHERE THOSE HOURS SHOULD BE GOING:
1) Build your health.
Trade the three hours of wiping Cheeto dust off your belly for an hour under a barbell. Lift heavy, get lean and jacked, and be the guy people look at and wonder what the hell he’s doing differently.
2) Build your relationship.
I work out with my son every night and I take my wife on a date every week. Your wife and kids are the ones who’d actually stop for you on the street, so give them the weekend.
3) Build your finances.
A football season is 18 weeks. Take the hours you were gonna give the couch, put them into your business or a high-income skill, and bet on yourself instead of a dumb $20 parlay.
Do that from now until the Super Bowl and see what your bank account looks like.
My waiver wire pickup this season, same as every season, is YOU.
I’ll always root for the man who spends his weekends building while everybody else is hoping “their” team wins a championship.
So get off the couch and live this f*cking adventure, man.
It’s a beautiful life.
Here’s to building your winning season,
Bedros Keuilian
P.S. If you’re tired of busting your a$$ all week while your business sits on the same yard line, and you don’t know what play to call next…
…let’s build your winning season together.
Scale Syndicate is my 12-month mastermind where we get on a call every month and meet up in person every quarter. I hand you the playbook I’m running inside my companies right now for marketing, sales, and leadership, and you get a room full of heavy hitters in your corner.
Our next meetup is coming up and I’d love to intro you to the group.
