Yesterday, I received a text from a stranger.

Or, at least I thought it was a stranger.

It was actually someone who attended my Saturday class.

Now, there are two types of people doomed to fail.

People who wait to start and people who are inconsistent.

Before I help anyone I run them through these filters. If they don't make it through these filters, there's nothing ANYONE can do for them.

Either they lack desire or suffer from fear and doubt — and that's a personal problem.

Anyway, when this stranger reminded me of who they were I immediately remembered.

They're the person I always make fun of, as a case study for failures.

When they first appeared in my class I asked what their project was.

They said they wanted to start a YouTube channel.

I didn't bother with any marketing, branding or entrepreneur advice.

I knew immediately that I had someone in front of me who would not pass the first filter — because if they could pass through the filter they would have already started said YouTube channel.

When you're consulting entrepreneurs, you have to identify who is going to waste your time and who will maximize it, otherwise you'll become a failure too.

So, I asked, knowing I'd get the response of a procrastinator, "When are you going to start this channel?"

She timidly replied, "Monday."

It was Saturday...

I sternly responded, "No. You're going to start today."

That would be the last time I saw her face — and I knew it would be. This interaction was more than a year ago.

I asked her yesterday, "Did you ever start that (YouTube channel)?", knowing I was going to get a sh!t response.

She texted back, "In the process of revamping."

My inner bullsh!t detector buzzed frantically!!!

I sarcastically replied, "Translation: procrastinating".

This person checks up on me from time to time but honestly, I don't want them to. I don't want people like this around me. I don't want failures anywhere near me. I don't want disappointments in my radius.

I want people to live up to their potential and THEN be concerned with me.

Don't concern yourself with me when you're not concerned with yourself. No healthy relationship can exist like that.

If you can't be there for yourself then I know I can't depend on you, so what's the point? Are you keeping in contact for your own emotional reasons? I find that to be quite selfish!

Anyway, if you would like an expert like myself to walk you by the hand through your journey as an entrepreneur, and you can pass through the first two filters, I'd love to help you.
