Disappear for 3 months, disappear for 6 months! Disappear for as long as you need to get to the level you want to be. I separated myself from everyone and everything for 3 months and grew my business by over 30% and also started another business in the process. Your success is entirely dependent on what you are willing to sacrifice and for how long, especially in this decades economy. Having fun is great, but if you want to reach levels above everyone around you, you need to be willing to sacrifice. Those weekends spent at the bar or at your buddy's house watching the game, out of state weddings, family events, etc. Your true tribe will never hold against you the sacrifices you need to make to get to the level you want to be. Only the ones who don't understand the game we are playing will. There are two types of people in this world today. The ones willing to do everything needed to succeed above the rest, and those who aren't and will remain average for the rest of their days on this earth complaining about what others have that they don't. It really is amazing what you can accomplish in just 90 days of grinding 18 hours a day building your dreams into reality. Now make that 180 days, 365 days, etc., and imagine the wins you can make happen throughout that time. Don't worry about the negative criticism from the people who don't understand. Surround yourself with like minded individuals that don't need to see you or even hear from you every week just to consider you a friend. People who get the struggle and the grind required to excel past mediocrity. These are the people who will help you reach the next level.
