The reason you need to find the right path in business, the one that might lead to success that also makes you feel alive… is because usually, the only way you’re going to get to that success is if you simply REFUSE TO QUIT.
Many people never even start. So once you do, you’re WAY ahead of the 99.9% who just talk. Congratulations.
But after that, once the journey gets under way, the list of requirements shrinks down to ONE:
DON’T STOP.
The good news is that you can change the weight of that decision by understanding that your commitment to keep going means SOMETHING of value is going to happen:
You’re either going to create success or find your way to the next step on that journey.
What if the thing you’re doing now is only a stepping stone to the next and more right thing you’re supposed to do?
The only people who lose with this perspective are the ones who never put that first step in motion.
They just sit and think and watch years go by. They come up with ideas and then shoot them down all without having anything REAL ever happen. That’s not smart, that’s just fear. Maybe that’s their path. I don’t know. I’m surely not omniscient enough to dare argue with their choices.
This journey in business is not a straight line shot to the destination. That’s the experience for some, I suppose. But based on my observations, it doesn’t seem to happen too often.
Business is a magical dance from one possibility to the next. What if the success you dream about requires a better version of YOU than the one that currently exists?
Could it be that the decision to keep taking steps, to keep evolving, is the only way you’re ever going to become that being?
