The Unemployed Millionaire Show: Episode #7

In the second part of the Table Mountain two episode series, I share the secret of all secrets to success. Maybe I should have waited for Episode 100 but this secret is way too valuable to wait that long! Take a look…

Please enable Javascript and Flash to view this Viddler video.

The most valuable secret to success is getting up more times than you’ve been knocked down!

How did I overcome being $100,000 in debt to building a company worth over $20,000,000? I just decided to get back up and keep going!

I made the decision to keep going every day, first thing in the morning, until I made it to the top. I didn’t link pain with failure as an entrepreneur. I linked the pain normally associated failure to the pleasure of gaining more knowledge and becoming one step closer to achieving success.

I hope you’ve enjoyed watching Episode #7 as much as I enjoyed making it. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the show’s new tag line: The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Lifestyle Freedom! See you at the top! ;)

P.S. If you missed the last episode of The Unemployed Millionaire Show, watch it here: Episode Six.

    Hey Matt
    Sometimes we tend to over complicate things but this simple lesson is defiantly the key to success.
    This is going to be my motto for 2010.
    No matter what happens I am going to keep getting back up

    Cheers Adam

    This was a great episode as I have always said the same about winning is getting up one more time than the other guy.

    Thanks for sharing.

  • Gert Maritz

    Thanks for your inspiring mesages. I have a great story of my own life and business that spans 15yrs. Thanks to people like you I could stay focust through a lot of difficult times.

  • Dan Murphy

    Matt, thanks again for another great show! I really like the new tag line and think it fits perfectly. What you mention is what we all desire… The freedom to do what we want, when we want!

  • Michele Nelson

    Its inevitable for you to get back up so you can continue on the road to freedom. only way to succeed.

    Wow, “see you at the top” Cape is the best, and the words of inspiration you have said, are the words i have long wanted to hear. Stand up, dust yourself and go. Winning is not for the strong, it is for you to finish what you have started even if you are the last one to arrive. This is great

    Hi Matt,

    You’re definitely one of my heroes. Thanks for all the motivation and pearls of wisdom you keep throwing, so that other people can learn, grow & achieve themselves.
    Regarding new tagline, it might just be a coincidence but i actually myself wanted to convey that ‘unemployment millionaire’ need re-branding..Somebody not knowing you i.e. not having read your book or read/viewed your posts might not really understand what this is About…
    So, the tagline “The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Lifestyle Freedom!” is DEFINITELY much better and suited..Not sure if it’s the Best but it conveys the right message.

    Thanks and keep going…

    Thanks Matt, you are so inspiring and you know what, you just gave me a tool. I started the marathon and I will not stop untill I finish it. I am the master of my fate and captain of my soul (Hill)hence I need to change from failure consciousness to success consciousness.

    Hi Matt,

    Thanks for the great tip! To quote Rocky Balboa: “It’s not about how hard you can hit. It’s how hard you can GET HIT and still get back up and keep moving forward.”

    I have compiled a mega list of success secrets into an eBook The 77 Traits of Highly Successful People. Perhaps you might want to check it out. :)

    Cheers~

      I have a blog post planned for that exact quote from Rocky. I’ll be sharing the specific impact it had in my life when I was at one of my lowest points.
      Thanks for the comment!

    Hi Matt! I don´t speak fluenty english, but I want to say some things about your experiences that I am trying to understand and learn, because this is the most motivating issue in our lifes, the continuous growing in our mind, spiritual, emotional and phisical for a better life, and I think you are a excellent guy for teching us a way of life very powerful and very excired, I live in México and I have very much doubts about how can learn more of your experiences, if I need to learn more english, reading your book or I do’nt know if there are other oportunities for be part of your way of life, that to anyone must be too much motivating, admirating or even cause some envy; you know the human nature, I want to appreciate that you share with all of us part of your life and I wish you continuous doing for a long time. Thank you very much, The best.

    Matt,

    “See you at the top!” Make room, we’re coming with thousands of our closest friends!
    BTW We like the new title…

  • Wilfrida Gesimba

    hi Matt
    Its really encouraging to listen to that clip. Many are the times we fall and sit there feeling sorry for ourselves and looking for simpathy from others but the faster you stand the faster you will catch up with your blesing. otherwise thanks Matt you are an encourager.

    Enjoy the lovely weather of Africa

    Hi Matt,

    Thanks for the reminder. I was recently knocked down, but now I intend to keep trying. Even though, with having dial up internet service, I was unable to view the video because it takes to long to load, I was inspired by the words you said below the video.

    Take care and keep giving us these golden nuggets.

    Diana

  • Ray Shank

    Excellent tag line, and it is truly the goal of most of us following you. We may say it’s the money, but what we’re really after is truly FREEDOM.

    Hey Matt, like the new title. That’s what is all about.

    Financial freedom can be summed up in that title. The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Lifestyle Freedom!

    BTW, I’ve certainly had my share of being knocked down, divorce, bancruptcy, job loss, death of loved ones.

    But, thanks be to God, I always found a way to get back up and to stay in the fight. Anyway, if you stay down on your back too long, you’ll get bed sores, ouch!!!
