🤪 Am I delusional? Honestly yes.
Building a business isn’t for the faint of heart. There is no phoning it in. There are no decisions that don’t carry weight. And there really isn’t any security.
But the people that do stick with it? They are badass and they grow and continue despite doubt and major setbacks.
Here’s what it takes to build a business:
👌🏻 A little bit of ego and delusion
👌🏻 A clear vision
👌🏻 Humility to take advice but also when not to take it
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned over and over is that there is no ‘making it’. You can have a fantastic year but it doesn’t mean you will the next year or that you won’t be at your breaking point in 6 months.
And this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it means you have to live in the moment and to let it go. (Something that doesn’t come easily to me.)
And honestly it wouldn’t be a risk or a leap of faith if you weren’t making some people around you uncomfortable right?
