Let me just get this out of the way: . I feel like this is the proper sprinter van pose. . Anyway... . I was thinking today about how hard it has actually been to get to this point in my life. . I was legitimately trying to remember some of the instances that were the hardest. . So many things popped into my head. . Literally dozens of instances where I can remember legitimately wanting to quit. . I can remember praying A LOT for a way out. . One time, I even wrote a resignation email and sent it to @cklein78 @mrfrisella & @jasoncaine. . True story. . I got so burnt out, so overwhelmed, so frustrated, so fucking angry that I was literally going to walk away from everything...and we weren’t a “small” company at this time either. . Good thing for me they know Im literally incapable of quitting...and would show up the next day...because neither are they. . It got me thinking...how much of this amazing life Im so fortunate & blessed to live is the legitimately due to just “not quitting” . Showing up... . Day after hard ass fucking day... . And running at it as hard as you fucking can. . I sat with this thought trying to put a percentage on this. . How much of it is not quitting? . I couldn’t come up with an exact number...there are just too many nuances to it and the different variables for different people & circumstances are limitless. . ...but I can tell you that while I may not be able to give you an exact percentage.... . “Not Quitting” is a majority variable in nearly ALL CIRCUMSTANCES success. . For myself personally...its been nearly everything. . Ive got some entrepreneurial battle stories you wouldn’t fucking believe. I promise you. . So trust me when I tell you that I understand the difficulty journey a lot of you are on. . Its not just lonely. . Its fucking brutal. . Its ruthless. . And its unrelenting. . In the hardest times...I want to share with you a thought that had guided me... . ....becoming what it is you know you were born to become is one of the hardest things in life to do which is why so few even attempt it. . So who the fuck else is gonna show people what’s possible? . Its obligation. . Thats how I see it anyway.
