The Book that Saved My Life - Robert Syslo Jr

The Book that Saved My Life

Growing up was excruciating for me. High School was probably the worst years of my life, my parents went through a divorce, I was broken emotionally. From that point forward till about 25 years old I went homeless, I jumped from bad relationship to bad relationship, getting my emotional self destroyed. I never understood why this was happening or how to deal with it. It got so bad that I was temporarily exhibiting the symptoms of PTSD, if that is even a real thing. I would have random panic attacks, loose control of myself for no reason and break down and cry.

The simple end of it was I did not understand people, and I did not understand how to protect myself from those that were negative. What you would call an emotional vampire, was exactly what I found myself getting involved with over and over again. Each time I thought I had learned my lesson and that I would be able to change it, I was horribly wrong. I kept making the wrong choices in my career and personal relationships and was continually disappointed. I struggled in a state of grief for over 7 years trying to find out what I was doing wrong and truly believed there was something wrong with me.

What did I do?

I sought out answers, I googled everything from how to deal with narcissists, dealing with alcoholic girlfriends, how to deal with manipulative people, it consumed me all the while I was not advancing in any way in my career. Instead I fell further and further down the rabbit hole. I remember when I was living in Los Angeles I was seeing a therapist, who eventually told me to go on drugs, I told her to F off and I left the office and never came back. I did not believe that I could be fixed with a drug, so I ended up searching further. I moved randomly to Trinidad and Tobago worked for a while, found myself in another bad situation. Until finally one day where I was working prior to being an entrepreneur a friend introduced me to a book that literally gave me all of the answers I was looking for.

I noticed with my relationships and the types of people I was interacting with that they exhibited the same type of patterns. The same communications, the same viewpoints, actions, and very weird behaviors. Yet, I felt I could handle it. I was wrong. They would say things like "you're not successful enough for me to be with you", "You will fall flat on your face when you start your own company", "you are crazy and making things up its all in your head". The whole time I felt extremely invalidated and almost believed these things. However I knew there something very wrong about it.

Many people say that I am too sensitive, and honestly I like that about myself, they were right. I am extremely sensitive to BS. I am sensitive to lying and manipulation. I learned over time how to handle this. The book that did this for me was L. Ron Hubbard's Science of Survival. It literally gave me the answer right down to the T of the types of people I was getting involved with and how they would behave. I saw that I was responsible for attracting this, because I willingly went into it. Now with the data in the book, I changed my entire existence. I look at this book anytime I speak with a potential business partner, and even found my girl who I have been with for 3 years. The book stopped all the insanity, and gave me clarity on what it was I was dealing with.

You do not have to struggle with an abusive relationship, or work situation you have the ability to take full control and not allow this to ever happen to you again, this book answers that for you. I am sharing it because no one knows what really happened to Robert Syslo, and when my book is published there will be a lot more details however, LRH helped me get through this, and gave me the stability I searched for.

How to Transition from Employee to Entrepreneur - Robert Syslo Jr

How to Transition from Employee to Entrepreneur

One of the craziest experiences I have ever had was starting from zero. There is a lot of fear and confront in handling this. When you have a cozy job, and things are stable, why would you want to throw that out the window and create something entirely new. What a time. Here are a few tips I recommend for you before you start being an entrepreneur or if you are considering going and starting your own deal.

1. Get Mentally Prepared

When you leave the comfort and security of your desk job, you do not really realize how good it is until it is no longer. And by how good it is I am referring to the experience of security. Once you leave that place, you are taking your ship that was nestled safely in the harbor and are taking right out into a hurricane. The only guarantee you have is that you have the knowledge, the skills, the ability to make things go right. Everything else is fair game. Unexpected emergencies might come up, your funds that you have saved are running dry and the next thing you know you are unsure how to pay rent. However if you are mentally prepared and ready and willing to experience, as my mentor L. Ron Hubbard says, you can endure and it will turn the corner. Remember this is an adventure, one that not many will understand and support you with. You will be surprised by those whom you love and respect turn their back on you when you make this decision, be prepared. I spent a considerable amount of time adjusting my viewpoint and preparing for this shift.

2. Set Your Schedule

Once you left the 9-5 job you will immediately realize, you have time. You do not have to get up early, you can go do whatever you want. Do not fall into this trap. Find a way to set a defined scheduled like you did before. Set time to work on your website, set time to create your brand, set time for sales calls, for business meetings, set time for working out and time with your love one's. This life is violent and can extremely time consuming, make sure you use your time adequately. Learn to become a super guru and own your own time. With this in control the transition is easier.

3. Save the Doubt for After Work

When you start this, doubt is the only enemy greater than your bills. When you are working, you are working. Create faster and harder then you ever have before and safe that consideration for when you rest your head on the pillow to sleep. You need to be at tip top performance every second of the day. Whatever happens, something blows up that you were not prepared for, acknowledge it move on and have the emotions when you off the production line. Youre the only one who is going to make this go right, so do the right thing and stuff it for later.

My First 90 Days as an Entrepreneur - Robert Syslo Jr

My First 90 Days as an Entrepreneur

by Robert Syslo Jr

I had somewhat of an idea of what I was getting myself into. I knew that it would be uncertain, I knew that it would be scary, I knew it would be the most uncomfortable thing I ever did. I left my $350k year job to venture out onto my own at 30 years old. The first 90 days were very interesting to say the least. Leaving was actually a very hard decision to arrive it and it required serious planning, serious and ethical steps to make sure I left on the best of terms.

The company I worked for, I left with a new department, new employees, training videos on my position for the next person to come in, a full fledged advertising training program. It was important for me to fill up the holes or any cracks left over until the very end. I worked and made calls to clients right up to my last day at 6PM. For me my integrity and doing a great job even to the last moment, is super important. Anything less than that, is repulsive to me and incomprehensible.

That was it. 6:05 I was out the door, and never looked back. I immediately began working on my two new ventures the next day at 4AM. I stayed in a routine and went to the gym everyday. My new partner and I worked diligently on this new program, and I spent all of my time studying. I completely stopped all social media, only went out for drives. I had about 90 days of savings to carry me.

For me my first-priority was to economize, I lowered every debt I had, cut spending to almost zero and ended up staying at my home most of the time. I couldn’t complain about that, a million dollar condo on the ocean in Miami, pretty sweet deal, I had all I needed. I for the first time experienced a very unique sense of freedom. I had no one to report to, it was just me everyday. Me holding myself accountable everyday, and creation the way I wanted it to be. My previous job offered a very unique experience, I saw things I never had before, worked with people I never thought possible and got exposed to a world of entrepreneurship that was infectious to me. I began to look forward to the future after 5 years of what is it that I wanted to have in my life and asked the question did I do what I intended? I knew that if I did not do, what was aching in me I would live with a regret that would never go away.

Then the throws of entrepreneurship began, fears, doubts, considerations flooded my mind. Daily I spent about two hours working on my own self and personal development to ensure I stayed focused and sane. I hustled harder than ever, limiting my time to only training for 8 hours a day, working on myself for 2 hours, eating right and ensuring I was rested. Social interactions, going out completely dropped off and I made a huge sacrifice for my own view of the future. I sacrificed comfort, conformity, stability for my freedom. In this moment, I do not regret it. I find myself proud that I was able to work up the confront to even place myself in this position. I realized that if I did not do what I intended, if I do not communicate and create the way I intended, I would be very miserable in life.

Am I fearful? I am. But I use its energy to drive, I use its energy to reinforce my persistence. I realized that in the toughest moments during the first 90 days, the only thing that mattered was how good my persistence on this course was. I could have said no this isn’t going to work, and at times I definitely did, but persistence quickly rebounded me. If there is one thing I know about myself, is my persistence, some call it stubbornness, which is there too, but without persistence it just doesn’t work. I remember people calling me asking me where I was, if I was alive, where was I, and I briefly explained what I was up to, but carried on. I do not really have time for anything else other than my mission and the direction. All my energy and attention was pulled towards the goal and it is still there.

This is written only as the first steps, there is much more to go, but I found it uniquely interesting what happens when you duck your head down for 90 days without looking up at anything else.

My world became impenetrable to anything from the outside. Locking off social media, locking off everything that I considered to be a distraction, made the focus easier and much more effective. I was in control now and I exercise that control with strict discipline. For me social media was the biggest trap of focus and it was removed. Life became more enjoyable after this, my relationship got better and she works with me every day to build up this dream I have.

I was able to hire 5 employees within the first 60 days, train them daily and get them moving in the right direction. Currently we act as a small cohesive powerful team, highly disciplined and effective at what we do. We still have a mountain to climb. But doubt, does not exist in my universe. Control is imperative, and doubt, distraction, anything negative, or remotely negative, lasts no more than 3 seconds in my world. It is cut out immediately, because the mission, the expansion is critical. Tolerating anything in my world or with my crew that is less than optimum is a distraction of time and energy. It is gone always.

There is much to do, there is much to see and create. But I am excited and the future is the thing that interests me, and how many people I can help is what interests me. I’m in it for the game.

Ever persisting.
