AMA JON FISHER - ASK ME ANYTHING
- Thread starter Jon
- Start date
The all mighty hundred dollar bill multiplied by a cajillion.
I certainly respect and admire my lawyer, Karl a lot. But he's a lawyer. And I'm not. See Karl, I do think of you! Awww (watch, he'll bill me for reading this..)
I wish there were specific people out there that I could mention, but I've never really been inspired by people in the industry because I was part of the pioneer group, so before us, there was no one.. You guys have it easy by comparison. Just about every answer you need, to get up and rolling, is right in front of your face.
Doing a seemingly impossible project that everyone around me claims is "impossible" and proving them wrong, that's about as much inspiration as I need to get that done, all in itself.
No single person can give me that power. I mean I fuckin wish a person could, that would make life WAY easier! I def draw from my gf (when we're not fighting, and when she's been herself around me) on a personal side, you know, like doing this or taking on this project to show her and try to inspire her simultaneously on what's possible vs what's out of reach. Its fun for me.
Nowadays I'm just starting to not be absolutely focused on business all the time. It took me a VERY long time to get to this point. But.. things may not go well for the gf and I, and I'm really trying to maintain that self-discipline focus and drive because if they do crumble, that I can avoid having to go through another "learning experience" round again where I can't see the answer nor get the inspiration I need to push forward.. because it def does happen, and its like getting writer's block.
Certain music and some movies (ie, Boiler Room, Wall St, Godfather trilogy, Margin Call, etc) can draw from be rough and do business mindsets, but before doing a public speaking gig, I like to turn on Metallica (ie Seek & Destroy, Ride the Lightning) and TOOL or Bad Religion, you know, things that get me riled up and kinda good angry inside to go out there and kill it.
I'm not single.. but I am. We're on a break. This is about as personal as I want to get.
"It's Complicated" sums it up perfectly.
I've had my run ins with women like that, but not as much as you'd think. In fact, most guys that do get hit with women like that, are attracting it to themselves or purposely putting themselves into that situation, or maybe they don't even realize it?
The more upfront I've tried to be about it, the shadier it got. For some reason, girls love their games. I hate games like that. But they won't play it any other way for the most part it seems. So instead of trying to fight it or ignore it, just tread lightly. Don't be obvious and don't be a douche either. DO NOT show anyone your bank account info, that's stupid and tacky. If you want to show off, because you think its easier to get a girl, then show off, but just remember, you are purposely spilling blood in the water, and you can't really blame them too much for what they are gonna do to you...
Some girls care about money and status. Some don't. There's no magic one answer here. I think for most women, its not that they care or don't about a guy being financially secure, but that he is SECURE and can be financially fit, as in, one less major issue to deal with (although mo money mo problems is 100% true). There seem to be a lot of really shitty guys out there too, but I'm not a dating coach, so this really isn't my area of expertise.
For how I roll... I don't show off. If you saw me on the street, at a posh club or even at a casino, you would NEVER think I had a dime to my name, and that's how I like it. I don't like the fake attention, I don't like to show anything off, I think its rude but I do agree that every successful person should go through their "fuck everyone, let's spend the monies like woah!!" out of their system as soon as humanly possible. Most people, do not get it out of their system and instead they don't have other social equity in their arsenal and feel they need to show off to attract hot girls or an awesome girl.. I disagree with this. I think the way to go is to be yourself as often as you can, and not rub it into anyone's face. Respect them, they should respect you. Treat others how you expect to be treated (I've violated this one a lot back in the day, but I try not to now).
You can't avoid leeches. They are always going to be there. The more you try to deflect or defend them, the more likely I think you are at getting fucked over by those closest to you. It just always seems to be the way. So you should set boundaries and rules. Simple. If a girl is going to act differently with you after a few months of dating her, when you don't buy something, you may want to either brush it off or just storage that for a later time. Don't be so paranoid either. Keep boundaries for sure though. You have to, for your own peace of mind. But I can tell ya now, a woman that truly loves you for you, should stick by you even if you lose everything. And if you do lose everything, and she leaves you, it will suck, but be glad because if you're good, you can make most of it back or more. That's all brah.

Its different just about every day. I wish it weren't. I would LOVE to have a simplified workday routine that I can follow and do things like grown up do, like sticking to schedules and being early for appointments, but that shit just does not seem to be in my cards. I've taken a few tries at it, and it just doesn't seem to stick. Maybe someday I will, but for right now, sorry!
5-6 when the gf isn't around, if I'm lucky.
8-9 when she is around. (she keeps me in check.)
I do.
I play these two very silly Facebook games.
Its been a secret addiction of mine for like three years now. I can't explain it. Before these games, I didn't like to play anyyyy games. But I blame all the free time I had after selling my products company and taking time off to destressify for three months. Picked up all sorts of nasty regular people habits. But this one is just too tough to kick!!
People are pretty shocked to see it too.
Bejewled Blitz and Zuma Blitz.
They are the bane of my fucking existence. I feel like a heroin addict. But, when I need a moment to think, and quiet down the chaos inside my brain, I zone out, and rape the scoreboard on those games, and somehow I'm able to calm down and get focused.
So there. I admitted it!
Do you have a code of ethics in business? And another question which is kind of the same - do you mind ripping off others for your gain (I hope you do)?
I get what you're saying that the industry is full of scammers, liars and so on but all the world and industries are like that... it's the human race, which is sad to see but whatever - we need to pull through it and keep our ethics and loyalty strong.
Thanks for doing this, what you're doing here I'm sure will help many.

Jon I would just like to say real quick that I found wickedfire back in 2010 when I was 20 and it altered my direction in life for the better. Always wanted to be an entrepeneur, tried different shit, but didn't really find my stride till I found wickedfire.
I would be on a completely different path if it weren't for this board and things are going very well for me now. Just wanted to say thanks.

Gotta convince yourself that you can do THIS and actually do it. Taking yourself out of your comfort zone, is possibly one of the best things you can do for yourself to ensure some level of success.
There really isn't any one or any absolute standard kit out there to follow or mold yourself after that will guarantee any amount of success. If you really believe that it exists, boy oh boy is it your lucky day, because I have one hell of a deal on a bridge to show you, my friend....
Everyone is different. We act accordingly. What may work for me, may not have any effect for you. So why would you keep following it or keep looking for it?
Don't get lost in "finding a road to success" secrets. They don't fucking exist.
I've made blueprints for clients and partners before, where all they had to do was follow the numbered instructions, step by step. The easiest most fool proof shit in the world. And you know what... it never manages to work. I've sat there watching them on the quick lil ones, and they follow it, IN THEIR OWN WAY according to my instructions, and they get different results. Its because we are all unique, and we are all in very different states of mind on a whole array of degrees. Many levels deep. So how can they possibly get the same exact results? And the answer is... they can't!
You will never be able to mimic me or anyone else. So instead of wasting time and cash trying to find that secret answer or tip... just go out and try it all yourself, then write down (if that's what helps you) what you just did or how you did it, and this way you'll have notes for the next one or to add to your ROUTINE OF GREAT SUCCESS.
Other than that, its all just a bunch of bullshit, friend.
i got a tshirt from you at ASW some years ago.
it doesnt fit
can I return or exchange it? Can I just pay you for a larger one?

Ever thought of getting into utilizing your business abilities to help others in a way more effective than most non-profit organizations?
Reason I ask is this is sort of my plan with things - Get rich, help people.
The vast majority of NPOs out there are just scams with the heir of helping people, but from what I've personally seen, people with the right business mentality can truly shape and change the world (For the better, or worse whichever way they want to go).

what are the top 5 places you have traveled to, ate at, and stayed in ( countries/cities, restaurants, hotels )
How people (family/neighbours) changed after you got the big cash? However, I don't know if you were damn rich before, it won't make any difference.
I'm having plenty of questions to ask you, some fun and some serious questions however I guess I'm out of play credits for today
