In Christian mythology we have the 7 deadly sins.
- Lust
- Gluttony
- Greed
- Sloth
- Wrath
- Envy
- Pride
These 7 sins will supposedly send your soul to hell.
But did you ever notice that every “fatcat” business magnate follows these sins as virtues?
Did you ever notice that every true Christian lives in poverty?
They say if you stay away from these sins your soul will be sent to heaven.
In the meantime, your earthly body will be poor and destitute.
Does your god really want you to live in disgusting poverty?
Or is it possible that your rulers give you these rules to follow because they don't want any competition for themselves?
If this advice keeps you in poverty then what good is it?
Perhaps the 7 deadly sins are wrong.
Perhaps you should change your idea of the the REALLY 7 deadly sins are.
The 7 Deadly Sins of Business
These new 7 deadly sins are the sins that will ensure you never achieve anything in this life.
These sins will ensure you always live in poverty.
These sins will ensure you are always nobody and never a somebody.
It's important to know what they are so that you know never follow in the footsteps of the poor and meek before you.
1) Laziness
The deadliest sin in this world is laziness.
“I want to be rich and free but I don't want to do the hard work to achieve it.”
Then you don't want to be rich and free.
You want to be broke and enslaved. Everything you do, you do because you choose to do it.
You choose to be lazy because you want to be a broke, retarded loser in slavery.
If you didn't want it, you would stop being lazy and you would start working working like the devil to get out of hell.
2) Dishonesty
You don't have to be Do-gooder Dan to be successful.
But you do have to be honest and analytical with yourself.
A dishonest person refuses to confront their own faults.
“I want it but I'm too lazy to get it.”
This is complete dishonesty.
You either want it or you don't.
If you want it you will work to get it. If you don't want it you won't say you want it.
Broke people are dishonest with themselves and this dishonesty keeps them in a state of perpetual inaction.
“I want it but I don't, so what should I do to get it? Nothing!”
3) Ignorance
You may be surprised to learn that many people in this world choose to be ignorant.
How can that be?
Well look at the word ignorance. The first part of the word is IGNORE.
Ignorant people choose to ignore intelligence.
They ignore books. They ignore learning. They ignore researching anything for themselves.
That is why they are ignorant, because they choose to ignore intelligence.
It takes intelligence to build business.
The ignorant always choose to stay that a business was built from the ground up via 16 hour work days by nothing but “good luck.”
Yes, the ignorant choose to ignore the hard work that MUST be put into a business to see it thrive and label it good luck.
How is that for complete ignorance?
4) Timidity
Being too scared to act will lead you to a life of poverty.
You know what I learned about people who live in true poverty in Vietnam?
They are SCARED of everything. They are FRIGHTENED of everything.
They are scared to go to restaurants because they are petrified of what people think of them.
They are scared to go to water-parks, they are scared to go to any place outside of their slum.
It is true for all ghetto slums in the world - the people that live there are terribly frightened of anything outside of their ghetto.
They are petrified silly of what people think of them.
They are so scared about what people think about them being poor, that they remain poor by being too frightened to ever try to get themselves out of poverty.
FEAR KEEPS PEOPLE IN POVERTY.
Nothing else.
5) Procrastination
“I'll do it tomorrow” is what all the losers of the world say.
Rather than doing it today, right now, they continually put it off.
Guess when tomorrow is? Tomorrow is ALWAYS tomorrow.
Can you do it today? “No, I'll do it tomorrow.”
Then when tomorrow comes again they say, “I'll do it tomorrow.”
Remember these words or always be a broke loser: “Yes, I will do it right now, immediately.”
6) Entitlement
People with the mental illness of entitlement have no ability to do anything for themselves.
They expect all people in the world to take care of them.
Entitlement produces complete impotence and enfeeblement. It is only through the magic of SELF-RELIANCE that you will ever build a business that booms.
Entitlement ensures you will never accomplish anything, ever. If you want it, you have to do it yourself. If you keep waiting for handouts you will wait your entire life away.
The most entitled people on planet earth are homeless people in California.
These people expect you to provide them with food, money, and shelter. And if you don't provide it, they will do nothing but sit there with their hands out EXPECTING you to provide it.
They are the absolute extreme of entitlement and if you practice entitlement you can expect to be homeless.
Whether you homeless on the street or simply homeless inside of yourself is irrelevant.
Entitled people never build business, they are too busy doing nothing but holding their hands out.
7) Arrogance
They say pride comes before a fall but that's incorrect.
Pride comes before success because it is only PRIDE in your self-reliance and ability that will give you the confidence you need to build your own business.
It is only pride in yourself or your product that allows you to make a profit from it.
Could you ever imagine a company that wasn't proud of their product? They'd be out of business yesterday.
All businesses are proud of their products.
Arrogance, on the other hand, actually does come before a fall.
Arrogance is not the same thing as pride.
The only arrogance that works is calculated arrogance that is aimed at getting a response from your opponent.
Arrogance is a form of emotional thinking.
Real arrogance signifies impending doom because arrogance clouds your judgement.
You have to always be analytical and practical.
Follow these sins and you will live your earthly life in poverty.
- Laziness
- Dishonesty
- Ignorance
- Timidity
- Procrastination
- Entitlement
- Arrogance
Stay away from these sins and you will always be strong and never wrong.
The opposite of these sins will bring you success in this world. Both material success and self-actualization.
None of these sins go against your religious teachings.
Rather, they help you to achieve what it is you want in this life without offending the gods of the next life.
And everybody's happy.
Until next time.
Your man,
-Victor Pride
Homeless people in California truly are entitled.
You see able-bodied men wait around at gas stations asking for money all the time. Hell, I remember this one degenerate asking people for money while in line at a grocery store. Disgusting.
Glad you made this article. Looking forward to the rest of your 30 Days of Blogging.
Great article!
Agree whole heartedly about the 7 deadly sins of business. I do have to say however that it’s not any “7 deadly sins” that physically put you into hell it’s the rejection of Christ. It’s not a sin to be rich either, what is a sin is to allow your money and success to turn you into an arrogant asshole. That aside your “7 deadly sins” should be avoided at all costs if you want success anywhere in your life!
Good read.
-Luke
So if you don’t follow Jesus Christ you go to hell? If you don’t follow the words of a man you will burn in hell?
I mean, there’s no real gray area with Jesus.
He made claims to be the Son of God in the most literal sense and called himself “the way, the Truth, and the Light.” And that - “No one can get to the father unless they go through me.”
So he either was the Son of God or he was crazy. You really can’t be neutral with him Jesus was straightforward as to the message he preached.
I do believe however that his message had dual meanings, meaning both if you continue in sinful nature you will find hell on earth as Vic says (and I knew prior to finding B&D) as well as being separated from God in the afterlife.
So I’m not following the words of a man, I believe that he was who he said he was - the Son of God and God in the flesh.
Also -
One thing I was getting at was that it’s not about rules or regulations it’s about trusting in Christ.
It’s not religion, it’s about connection with your Creator and Jesus allows us to connect with him.
Jesus summed up the “rules” with loving God and loving people.
Treat people how you want to be treated and take his teachings to the world.
Be honest and fair.
Become like a child and have faith.
Great article again, Victor.
I was going to ask you question like “Okay, how to get rid of these?”
Then I realized, 30DOD is all about kicking these out of your life.
All sins are some sort of related with being idle and not taking action.
Excellent post vic! Your blog has changed my life..
Great Article Vic.
I’d like to add another deadly sin: APATHY.
A state where you just don’t care about doing the smart thing, or more particularly, don’t care about doing it when you have the time.
With time, people age and their choices become hardened in stone, and these people live their life with a deep sense of regret of “what could have been”.
Apathy has probably destroyed more talent than everything else combined.
beggars = a menace
Awesome post brother!
Near the intro you wrote : “Or is it possible that your rules give you these rules to follow because they don’t want any competition for themselves?”
I think you meant your “rulers give you these rules…”
Keep it up. Definitely enjoying this 30 days of blogging and I’m still going strong on my 30 DOD.
Thanks.
“The only arrogance that works os calculated arrogance…” -> …arrogance that works is calculated…
Cheers!
