I'm motivated to be No. 1... It's not because I think I'm better than anyone, it's a way to prove myself that I can ~ Charles Fuchs.
It's a question that many people want the answer too... "What does it take to be #1?" Like usual, I like to keep thing very simple 😬📚
Regardless what it is that you want to be #1 at, the path is usually the same. It takes tons of effort, hard work, countless sleepless nights, drive, dedication, perseverance, hustle, ambition, failure, and doing whatever it takes to accomplish huge goals that are so out of reach that people are going to call you nuts 😳
You will experience tons of pain and sacrifice during your journey to be #1. You may have to tell your friends that your busy, miss vacations, stop going out, stop watching tv, etc... etc... (in other words, stop F*cking around doing useless activities) 😱😨
I know, I know... it's very hard to do but you must sacrifice the things you enjoy if you want to be #1, it's the only option. 🥇
For example, when I first started Steemit, I wanted to become the #1 Minnow of all time. I literally spent hundreds of hours on this platform to learn everything that I can.
Guess what happened, I became a Dolphin (well, a mini one at least) last month. 🐳
I even sacrificed over 100,000+ Followers on my other Social Media accounts to put 100% focus on Steemit for at 3 months. The main reason was that I knew Steemit can be the future of Social Media. 👨👩👦👦
Don't get me wrong, I didn't give up on my other Social Media Accounts... I just stopped posting so that I can put all my energy into Steemit.
It was really tuff as I had 1000's of messages saying, "Charles, We Miss You... Come Back" haha
My goals has recently changed since a month ago, Now I want to become the #1 Dolphin on Steemit 😜🐬... However, I can't do it without you guys and I truly appreciate all the support that I received so far 💞
I wanted to introduce you to one awesome book written by my Mentor and Buddy 😬 @grantcardone called "If You're Not First, You're Last". It's one of my top 50 books of all time.
I will tell you right now, this book will change your life and mindset... you will stop making excuses and you will take immediate action to be the best.
Hands down, this book is 5 out 5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟, you can get this amazing book on Amazon or even on GrantCardon.com or better yet, buy the audio version also.
Finally, I'm going to leave you guys with this song 💁🏼♂️
It's by Nelly (Old School) 🤣 called #1, it's one of my top anthems to get "pumped up" and start getting sh*t done. You don't even have to be a hip-hop fan to enjoy it, but the "hook" is just Beast! 🎼
So with that being said, let's all try to become #1 in everything we do in life because usually no one remembers who comes in at #2 😝
Have and awesome week and like always, Keep on Steemin! 💙

Another good one bro, stayin on top!
"I know, I know... it's very hard to do but you must sacrifice the things you enjoy if you want to be #1, it's the only option."
It's really that simple, but it's not that "easy".
"I even sacrificed over 100,000+ Followers on my other Social Media accounts to put 100% focus on Steemit for at 3 months."
Definitely respect this and I'm very glad you're still here. It's yet another affirmation that Steemit has potential.
"Nelly (Old School) 🤣 called #1"
No matter if you like it, take it sit down and write it.
keep on steeming charles I appreciate your effort. The Steemit is just for you. Don't forget me when your rich :)
Appreciate your efforts and sacrifice made for Steemit! That's a bold move.
I had to make some "Moves" lol ... but I plan to do more postings on Facebook + Instagram about Steemit haha
Come Back To Facebook :)
You really put a lot of effort in Steemit, good job.
10x it 😀
I like to win! I wish I had more time for Steemit.
Wish you had time to visit Las Vegas and hang with ya boy 😂😂😂
Dude I'm so jelly. LA sounds legit :D
Busy Investing in Crypto!
Same here. So many stuff to do so little time...
It's a lot to learn but steemit looks like fun!
My new goal is to become the #1 dolphin before you do ;), but in all seriousness what are some things that you feel have led to your sucess?
HEY NOW @gniksivart! haha ... I need some friendly competition. Challenge Accepted :)
How much Steem power do you need to be #1 Dolphin? 🐬 🏦💵💥
It's 5000 - 50,000 Steem Power :)
Is that delegated too? :P
Perseverance is a key factor. @stackin will persevere.
That's a given.
Always enjoy your posts Charles, however, I am different. I don't want to work my arse off and I have absolutely no desire to be number one or second or third for that matter. To me, there is more to life than grinding and succumbing to that ever present need to climb "the ladder."
On my first trip to Thailand, I was totally at amazed at how people with absolutely nothing, my girl friends family, were so happy and content with their lives. Always singing, always dancing, always happy with the biggest smiles on their faces. I get what you are doing, I really do, but gotta enjoy the ride and take time out.
I guess it's just different strokes for different folks. All I want to do here is write content that I think people will get something out of and engage in this truly amazing world.
Keep on hustl'n man!
Don't get me wrong, I know where you are coming from :) I lived a freedom lifestyle since 1997 (my last job ever). The grind and hustle in my definition is the meaning if a person has any goals in his life, you must apply these (not half ass it) lol
I traveled the world already and things of that sort, kinda was a "hippy" myself (not saying its bad haha) but I needed goals and obstacles, I felt bored most of the time not accomplishing things.
Like you said, everyone is different and I totally understand :)
This is gold my friend! Half ass NOTHING!
💪🏼🙌🏼💯
Nice book. Love the title alone.
I honestly spent a lot of this year feeling pissed off with marketers and the state of marketing. I thought it was all contrived bullshit, especially when the "learn how to make money online" guys kept humblebragging.
Then I stopped being a whiny bitch.
I am back to learning, at the BASICS.
Learn anything, for basics are meant to be learnt for EVERYONE.
Great one @stackin
I've msg you on FB. Can't wait to connect!
Yeah, we are all like that in the beginning. The why, when, how attitude. A long time ago I decided to stop the bitchin and just go do the work lol ... Ill check my FB later tonight :)
I recently decided to stop being the starving artist lol.
It's great to be top of our game in everything we do no matter what other day or think our limitations might be. I stopped caring about opinions (unless there was some positive value in them) and watched my business and self worth skyrocket!🙌🏻 Great post friend!
Yes, totally agree... People will always have their opinions, I just say thanks and that I'm to busy to listen to them haha
And that's the best thing you can do!
I'm still a minnow. Hoping to become a whale soon😂😂😂 Can I skip the dolphin part? Anyway, still a newbie but my dreams are huge. People will be laughing when they heard it because it is very impossible for them. One of my dream is to inspire Billions of people. Can I do that? Maybe. Will I stop trying if billions of people tells me that it is impossible? Nope! If all the great inventors did stop when people started laughing at them and calling them weird we will not be enjoying the kind of luxury we have today.
So dreaming to become a whale or be a #1 minnow or dolphin is not impossible at all. As long as you do the things you need to do every single day to realize your dreams then it is possible. 😉 Thanks for sharing your thoughts. As always. Interesting as it is. 😊😊
I really like the level of ambition and dedication to achieving your goals. And your posts really seem to be hitting the mark in terms of followers and upvotes - helped no doubt by the fact that you interact and vote back in return.
Here's a question - is the whole 'No. 1' thing exactly the absolute goal, or do you mean it rhetorically, in terms of constantly improving?
Because if you will only be happy when you are No.1, then the risk you face is of never being able to stop and sit back and take pride in your achievements - you will become the No.1 dolphin but then within minutes you will be looking to become a whale, and then a bigger whale, and then the No.1 whale - and at what point do you stop and be satisfied with what you have and go chill out on the beach?
It's like in athletics - or track and field or whatever - unless you are Usain Bolt there will always be someone faster than you
So do you have a more concrete goal, in terms of $ or something, at which point you will be able to say 'enough, time to relax and enjoy the benefits of all this work'?
Just a few thoughts which are occupying my own life at the moment
Cheers
yeah buddy
Motivation right there hahaha
Well I'm a fiction writer and I have mostly sacrificed writing my fiction in order to write more blog pieces since they were paying better, and garnered more interest. My original idea was that once I got my rep up a bit and got more followers then I would start writing fiction again and I probably will do that..... but I need to have at least a thousand followers I think and probably over 5000 SP and I'm working on it. My intention is to be the number one whale but whether or not that will happen remains to be seen.
Everybody wants to become a Whale but first, you have to make a big enough SPLASH!💦💦
You know what @jezzle, you got this! You will get there, just stay consistent :)
I think I am on my to the the #1 as well...
But the #1 most hated Person in here LOLOLOL
Mannn, let's turn that around. I'm trying to do what I did on tsu for steemit, I build a team over 100k on tsu 🤣🤣🤣
iihiihih to be honest I don't know if I want to turn that around. I am having some fun see how People get bothered with some other person opinion so easily. Well some People say "Talking good or talking bad at least they are talking about me!" LOLOLOL
Well, sacrificing over 100,000+ followers on other Social Media sites certainly spells dedication in my book!
Wait til' I go back this week and talk about Steemit, going to bring tons over here :)
Ha ha - I'll be waiting for them!
Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground. My goal is to become a minnow from redfish. I need your help man.
Simply, if you stackin, you packin....LOL I meant; if you got money in game, the game is yours. Aloha!
Yeah Aloha , agreed to you the utmost :) money makes the mare go !
Unfortunately. It's the way of the world
It's packed steem power 🤣
Every successful person must sacrifice to make it to the top , to be a top dog hustler
I missed out tons of parties in Las Vegas to focus on a few goals, it was well worth it :)
I'm sure we could party later when we ball so hard
Who knows better than you @journeyoflife :)
A mention for the @stackin today on my blog :D
I really do like Grant Cardone's quote, "If You're Not First, You're Last".
Lovin' the Nelly flash back! Heart of a Champion is another great one!
That's the way to do it Charles. Go after being #1 in every aspect of your life. Business, relationships, physically and mentally. If you are not first, then you are last!!! Steemit!!!
Dude you have been killin it on Steemit!
I am glad you are putting lots of effort here.
Super inspiring! :)
To be number one, you don't always need to work hard, sometimes you work smart! Hehehe!
Being number one is really difficult. You must constantly move forward and do not stop there. Because you are followed by those who want to overtake you)
We don't need TV propaganda machine anyway. We can be our own news and write as we see it from our own point of view.
@Surfyogi said that you'd be interested in coming onto my podcast. Here is the playlist of the existing episodes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5CpCNPna6p95oJfKPew0N3ZT0k-khdgg
It is audio only over skype. Would love you to come on the show and talk about yourself. Does this sound of interest to you?
Amen to that. Well said my man!
Talk soon.
This post impressive me, I want to be good . And someday I`am good.
You will be :)
💥 All the way to the top 💥 Now let's get you on air, what are your thoughts on getting interviewed?
For 1000 steem 😂🤑😂🤑
With the exposure you will get from the interview that is easy. Excellent see you in discord to step up a time :)
Well, @stackin, talk about putting your money where you mouth is... I appreciate your enthusiasm over Steem. Putting all of your other social media activities on a hiatus speaks to your commitment to this platform. Your success points to your perseverance.
I haven't been here long, but I've already seen that one CAN have success here if they commit themselves, every day, to producing top-notch content (value). Your efforts are being rewarded, and serve as a road-map for others thirsty for success.
Cheers!
Thanks for repping Steemit so hard. You def made an impact here and everyone's better for it! Keep hustlin player 👊😎
Giving up TV and other junk is honestly very easy when you moving towards your goals and doing something you love. I think TV is the number one time killer here in America and I have to say once I stopped watching life has been a billion times better. Seriously just do it! It is such a waste of time with commercials and just pure garbage anymore anyways and you will quickly see all the other cool things you can start doing in that time instead to hit whatever goals you might have. A daily walk, excise more, write a steemit post etc etc.
I have learned a lot of steemit. I will continue to learn in the coming times. I liked your videos
I like your motivation dude...i keep marching ahead. I will b there some day.
Great post mr @stackin.
All we need in order to become number ones is persistence and patience.
I will start to read the book you suggested soon!
Followed for more and waiting to see you becoming the number one dolphin while i'm on my path to become the number one minnow!!!
In order to be number one, you need to be unique, creative, proactive, aggressive, and not afraid to take on any challenge that comes your way.
Steemit is the future :) Sacrifice is good but yeah agreed to the author you first or you last phenomenon , suffered a lot due to being the last approach. very nice@stackin
Yeah man!!! It's as simple as that. You have to grind. Nothing good ever came easy. Good luck on your journey to becoming the #1 dolphin. With your hard work and dedication you deserve it :):)
Yay Nelly, one of my favorites in the old, old days. He,He. I like that "let's all try to become #1 in everything we do in life" this is how I try to live my life every day, the best I can no matter what I'm doing. Sacrifice and working hard will pay off my friend and as for you, I believe with your energy and your work ethic and how you are just a huge influence on this community, you will be #1 Whale on Steemit.
Self-motivation is the key to success and you definitely have it as well as the ability to motivate others. I know you're going to make it!
To be n. 1 you must do what other people don't want to do. If that was not the case, all people will be number 1.
I think i am on the same path of yours, working really hard, writing valuable stuff and building relation.Yes i hardly get any recognition as of now, but still not giving up as i believe one day i will get the reward for my hard work. Anyway i do follow you on FB.
