My Purpose of This Post
This post is a bit different. As you can see, I've attached a Music Video at the top.
Recently, I came across this guy called Chris Record when I was writing a review for Tecademics, an Internet Marketing College. Chris is the founder of Tecademics.
What makes Chris really different is that he actually has a series of Music Videos which are all based around entrepreneurship and making money online.
From what what I know, there's no one doing the exact same thing as he is doing. And to be honest, I really love the songs, especially the lyrics. That's also what I want to share with you today.

Chris Record Life of an Entrepreneur Lyrics
Fresh new whip and the color's orange
Stocked up fridge like a scene from cribs
Sunset views and the weeks don't end
Traveling the world with a few best friends
Facebook Ads and the money's passive
Instagram Ads to bring more traffic
Snapchat vids with the orange hat kids
In the audience we just want success
And we don't care about the obstacles
And the haters that keep saying it's impossible
All I know is that we gotta go
Level up our lifestyle if we love the game
And we don't care about the obstacles
And the haters that keep saying it's impossible
All I know is that we gotta go
Level up our lifestyle if we love the game
Living the life, life, life, life...
The life of an entrepreneur
Living the life, life, life, life...
The life of an entrepreneur
Success leaves clues
Knowledge is the key so equip with the right tools
Mindset, Mastery, Millionaire, Mentality
Focus on your inner game, perception is reality
Always make sure that you're following your passion
Rise and grind and take massive action
Stay true to the game daily with persistence
Following your game plan gotta stay consistent
When you feel a little bit of fear
Coming from the voice up inside your ears
Telling you the struggles of your past years
Stay focus on your purpose and why you're here
When you feel a little bit of fear
Coming from the voice up inside your ears
Telling you the struggles of your past years
Stay focus on your purpose and why you're here
Living the life, life, life, life...
The life of an entrepreneur
Living the life, life, life, life...
The life of an entrepreneur
Top 12 Success Tips from Chris Record
1. Strive for Passive Income
Building your own Passive income streams is the only way for you to achieve financial freedom.
Why?
Because TIME is one of the most limited resources for everyone.
If you're going to trade your time for money for the rest of your life, you're going to suffer and you'll never achieve the financial freedom that you always dream of.
"If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep (passive income), you'll work until you die" ~ Warren Buffet
2. Don't Care About the Obstacles
On our journey to success, there are gonna be lots of obstacles along the way. The only way for you to have breakthroughs in your life is to "F**K the obstacles"!
Don't give a F**K about them because they will only hold you back and prevent you from succeeding!
3. Haters are Inevitable
No matter how successful or not successful we are, there are going to be haters and critics.
Take a look at Justin Bieber...
Look at the amount of dislikes on this video. 8 Million Likes & 8 Million Dislikes.
You may like him or you may not. But is he successful in his field? Of course!
The moral of the story here is that you're going to expect more haters and critics if you're more successful. This is the reality.
However, if you're constantly troubled or even mad at these haters, you'll not going to go far in life.
Once again, don't give a f**k about them BUT treat them as nice as people who loves you. Sometimes you're going to transform some of the haters to become your most loyal fans.
This all depends on how you deal with criticisms.
4. Level Up Our Lifestyle if We Love the Game
This is all about the STANDARDS we set for ourselves.
You may not have the money to live the lifestyle you want. But if you act like the person you want to become, use the words that empowers you and celebrate for any success you achieve, regardless small or big.
"If you sincerely want to change your life, raise your standards. What changes people is when their SHOULDs become MUSTs" ~ Tony Robbins
5. Success Leaves Clues
This is very obvious. Success does leave clues.
But what this means is that the secret to success is to learn directly from people who have already achieved the results you want.
If you want to build a great business empire, don't go to school and get another business degree or whatsoever.
It doesn't help at all because you're learning from "professors" who most probably haven't built any successful businesses in their lives.
So do you want to learn from people who have achieved the results or people who just teach you based on theory?
If you got this mindset, it makes no sense at all for you to go to College the pursue the things you want, unless all you want is to get a good job, work for life and be mediocre.
"Success leaves clues. Proximity is power. Love your family. CHOOSE your peers." ~ Tony Robbins
6. Knowledge is the Key so Equip with the Right Tools
There's an old saying that said, "Knowledge is Power." Have you heard of that?
In reality, knowledge is NOT power!
Knowledge is just the tools and resources for you to create and achieve the things you want. Without real action, knowledge is useless. It isn't power at all, is it?
"Knowledge is NOT power. Knowledge is only POTENTIAL power. Action is power." ~ Tony Robbins
However, without the right knowledge (the right tools), you're not going anywhere.
Remember that knowledge is potential power.
KNOWLEDGE + ACTION = POWER
7. Focus on Your Inner Game, Perception is Reality
A lot of people keep chasing after the external factors in life, such as money, respect, significance, etc... Basically, STATUS!
But you're not going to have long term success and keep the STATUS you desire if you don't work on your inner game.
Without the right mindset, attitude, mentality & knowledge, any success is only temporary.
That's why I am a huge believer in Personal Development.
If you look at all the successful people, they all have one thing in common and that is they are constantly growing and improving.
8. Always Make Sure that You're Following Your Passion
Passion is extremely important.
There has been a lot of debate on whether you should follow your passion or follow something that seems to be more profitable or more popular.
That debate will end here because passion is still the most important factor.
Look at all the extremely successful people today, be it Mark Zuckerberg or Steve Jobs, they are so successful because they have passion in what they're doing or their purpose.
You're not going to conquer all the obstacles and failures unless you're following your passion.
9. Rise and Grind and Take Massive Action
We've all heard this often enough about the importance of taking action.
But ask yourself, are the actions you take really contribute to your ultimate dream in life? Or are the actions you take everyday controlled by the reality in everyday life, be it the need to feed your kids or pay your bills?
There are a lot of times we know we need to take action to do something but in the end procrastination comes in due to a variety of reasons.
Then after some time you start to regret that you should have done this done that...
The tip here is...
JUST DO IT!
10. Stay True to the Game Daily with Persistence
If you want to achieve something, you need to work on it on a daily basis, not "when you have time".
This comes down to your daily priority which is determined by your desire to achieve something.
If you're desired enough, you'll put in time and efforts every single day and persist!
11. Following Your Game Plan Gotta Stay Consistent
This is very similar to the previous point about putting in efforts on a daily basis and persist.
You need to come out with a game plan (your schedule) and follow through (take actions).
Consistency and Persistence are two extremely important factors to succeed in whatever you are doing.
12. Stay Focus on Your Purpose and Why You're Here
Lastly, we all have fears. Even the most successful people have fears.
But the only difference between you and those who succeed is that successful people ACT IN SPITE OF FEAR!
Next time if you start feeling afraid about something you want to do, immediately tell yourself you're going to do it no matter what and TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION. Do not wait!
The longer you wait the more fearful you are and the less likely for you to succeed.
Fear is NOT an evil. It is there to protect us from getting hurt. However, that's also the factor that prevents people from succeeding.
If you are crystal clear about your purpose for doing anything and why you're doing it, you're not going to let fear stops you!
"All the things you want lie outside your comfort zone. Often times, they're just 1 millimeter away!"
So, What's the Ultimate Key to Success?
There are so many different keys to success. But the most important one I believe is to know what you want to achieve!
This may sound simple yet it is one of the most important.
Look! T. Harv Eker said...
"The #1 Reason Most People Don't Get What They Want is because They Don't Know What They Want!"
Make sense?
Clarify leads to power!
Only when you know what you want, then you can take massive actions and so on.
Honestly, I love all the songs Chris Record made. They can be remix but the most important thing is the empowering words within the lyrics.
Go subscribe to Chris Record's YouTube Channel and listen to all the empowering songs as well as other videos he creates. He's a true inspiration to me and I hope you can be inspired too.
I don't think you can download his songs anywhere. I use this tool to download his songs to put in my phone and listen to it every day.
You can do the same if you want.
Anyway, I hope you've gained some value in this special post.
To end off this post, I just want to leave you with some of the best books I've ever read which have profound impact on my life:
Honestly, these are the classics of the classics. Everyone MUST read! If you haven't, quickly grab your copy. Remember the mindset I've mentioned about TAKING IMMEDIATE ACTIONS?
