It’s Sunday. A Beautiful day outside. But cold as heck.
We are watching the Matrix movie and I just love it. There is a hidden philosophy about life and business that is such a huge part of this movie. The best two quotes are at the beginning of the movie ” You believe your special but somehow you think the rules don’t apply to you.. obliviously you are mistaken” The next quote is the best one: “There comes a time to make a choice either you choose to be at your desk on time or choose to find yourself another job.”
Take the blue pill, wake up the next day like nothing has happened. Take the red pill and you can see how deep the rabbit hole really goes. Just like marketing. The answer is out there. It is looking for you. If you let it.. it will find you.
This is the choice of being an online entrepreneur. Taking the red pill and finding how far it goes, learning the matrix of advertising and challenging your dreams and challenging yourself to see that the dream is real. Being online is the equivalent of the mental projection of your digital self. What is real? Real is electrical signals interpreted by your brain.
When you wake up from reality in a pod of goo to realize the world is not what it seems. Yes it can be disturbing to be flushed down the toilet of the big business if you don’t serve as they decided for you. The choice is always yours. The choice of working for someone else or working for yourself. This choice is the one you make in your head and work with your heart. You must always choose to work like you are working for yourself because in essence you are. Being the best in your job is always the best choice. The lessons you learn when you make this choice is one that can’t be described.
I was lucky enough to experience this in my early 20′s. I somehow didn’t fit anywhere until I read a book by Brian Tracey. Work on your job like it is your business because it is. When you chose to give your best to any job you do that is the existential following of the white rabbit of inspiration path.
“More important than what.. is when.”
When are you going to make the decision to believe in yourself? Do the things that you need to do by choosing the red pill and exploring the gifts of your own talents like Morpheus believes in Neo

Hey Rebecca,
Gosh, had a hard time commenting again.
You might be losing some comments because of the weird set-up here that has people set a password and login to comment. Not sure if you noticed that too, or if it’s only me? Hmmm.
Might be just me.
Made me think though…
Mike Filsaime had a whole promotion last year or was it Rich Schefren? Where they used one of the Matrix quotes here.
So it must be true that great minds think alike!
I’m amazed by the impact that movie still has after all these years… I mean when was that released? Seven years ago? Eight?
It was killer.
That movie is like a giant metaphor.
Hi Jason.. Yeah.. Matrix totally rocks.
Thanks for letting me know the commenting doesn’t work.. I will definitely look into that.
I think Matrix was release approx 11 years ago.. It was the first year I had been in my own business.. I think “98?
I love the matrix. Each time I watch it I get new observations about life… my fav is the TV
Hugs
