How long its going to take you to win
Hey fam... I have had the opportunity to be meeting with a good amount of people lately through my coaching calls and I wanted to share with you one common theme I am finding with EVERYONE. I share this to offer your inspiration, but also let you know there are so many people out there that need whatever help/offer you are considering putting out. The one common theme I am seeing with all my students is that they tried something once... maybe for 2 weeks, maybe for 2 months and did not see success so they stopped. Every single person got distracted, was unmotivated, just did not feel like continuing. I am here to tell you that success is a slow train, not a rocket ship. Want proof? James Dyson made 5,127 prototype vacuums over 15 years before his design sold. Spent most of that time broke. Colonel Sanders was 62 when KFC finally took off. Spent years driving around getting rejected by restaurants before one said yes. Steve Carell, Conan O'Brien, Stephen Colbert — all spent a decade-plus doing nothing work before anyone knew their names. J.K. Rowling was rejected by 12 publishers over years. Was a broke single mom writing in cafes. Sylvester Stallone was so broke before Rocky sold that he had to sell his dog. The script got rejected over and over. He finally sold it but only on the condition he could star in it...then it won Best Picture. Rick Rubin spent years building Def Jam in a dorm room before anyone took it seriously. Now he's considered the greatest music producer alive. Sara Blakely sold fax machines door-to-door for 7 years while developing Spanx on the side with $5,000. Every manufacturer she pitched initially said no. Almost everyone gives up too early. My message today is to keep going. Your first product will suck. Your first video will have zero views. This is the initiation to play in the game. Do not forget that!
