How badly do you want it?

Even Spidey takes time to hone his skills.

There are very few barriers today if you want to learn something or acquire a new skill.

Almost everyone has a mobile device and access to the Internet.

Many universities have courses online that you can take for free. Businesses like Treehouse, Codecademy and Udemy have affordable pricing structures and lessons for just about anything you could ever dream of learning.

I become frustrated when I hear people complain about not having the things they want or need. They can’t afford a degree, don’t have enough time or enough [insert standard excuse here] to do the thing that they love or to earn the money they need to live, travel or even shop.

I believe that we’ve reached a time in society where the main barrier to entry to acquiring a new skill, making more money or living the life you want to live is actually how much you want it.

Are you willing to wake up early and do the hard work to hone your skill?

Are you willing to take classes online at night on your own or over weekend and sacrifice that weekend party?

Most people don’t go the extra mile. Most people just don’t want it enough.

The only thing holding you back today is how badly you want it.
