Brick By Brick Hot Shot: The Brutal Truth About Winners' Mindsets vs. Losers' Excuses
Life is too short to waste time with regret, shame, and guilt that keep us from taking action. The difference between a winner's and loser's mentality lies in taking responsibility versus making excuses for why things can't be done.
• Winners understand that goals sometimes require intense dedication and hard work
• Living in the past and making excuses like being too old or having no time keeps us stuck
• Instead of using tragedy as an excuse, use it as inspiration to carry on someone's legacy
• When someone you love passes, fulfill their dreams and aspirations for them
• Everyone deserves a second chance to transform their life
• The time to act is always now, not someday in the future
Get off the couch and do something with your life today. Stop waiting for the perfect moment and start building the life you want right now.
Protecting homes. Serving communities. Roofing with pride, purpose, and impact.

Life is too short, right, life is too short to sit by on the sidelines with regret, with shame, with guilt, and the next thing you know, 10 years have gone by and you look back on your life and you realize that you haven't done nothing. The last thing that I would want to do is lie on my deathbed with all this guilt, shame, regret, remorse, of all these things that I should have done, that I could have done, but I didn't. Meanwhile, everyone's living in. I wish I knew then. What I know now. I fucking do right now is now. Right then then is now. You know what I'm saying.
Ty Cobb Backer:Living in the past and living in your excuses. You know. That's the. That's the difference between a winner's mentality and a fucking loser's mentality. A fucking loser all the time wants to live in those excuses. They're making up these excuses of why they can't do this. I'm too old, it's too late, there's not enough time in the day, I'm too fucking fat. Fuck that. Get your ass off the fucking couch and fucking do something with your life. You know what I mean. Kick back, relax after you fucking get to work in. Kick back, relax when you make that time intentional with your family. But for now. Sometimes it takes six straight months to complete that goal, seven days a week, 365 days, 24 hours a day. You just got to kick it in high gear. Nobody's going to give this to us.
Ty Cobb Backer:Some people, it's the excuses, and they use those reasons why they have a shit life. They always blame others for their situations and their failures, their failures, your mom dies. Use that shit to inspire you. You have big shoes to fill. When somebody that you truly love that's in your life, it is your responsibility to carry the torch. The torch had been passed to you. You need to fill the torch. The torch had been passed to you. You need to fill those shoes.
Ty Cobb Backer:If that person had dreams and aspirations, there's something that they wanted to accomplish, then you need to go and fulfill that dream for them. Use that shit to inspire you. Stop using it as an excuse to be a piece of shit. Right, if your dog dies, go and use that as an excuse to fucking go get another dog. Use that as an excuse. Go get another dog. Rescue that dog, give that dog, show that dog a life beyond its wildest dreams, cause God only knows. God only knows where that dog came from. Right, don't? We all deserve a second chance. I know I've been given a second chance.
