KEY TAKEAWAYS
It was a grind that became hell
I began to feel like I was someone who talked a lot but didn’t do anything
Having the impetus to start something and not even finish it is enough
Your ability to focus on the thing you want to create and your ability to manage your emotional state through the journey is key
Everyone is on a path and paths may cross for an amount of time but it’s not forever
You can be whatever you want to be but there are things that will be comfortable and some that will not
Do not do the things you have to do so you can one day do the things you want to do
The ultimate hard thing going all in with what you love, it requires you to put yourself first,
it requires that you are clear about what you want
People aren’t brave enough to try what may not work out but could lead to something exceptional
All your previous experiences lead you to the place you need to be
Going from whatever makes you money to what you love and want to do is the real transition
If you feel like you need to have an answer before you make a move understand that sometimes you need to move to find the answer

BEST MOMENTS

‘It’s taking a leap of faith when you don’t know what the outcome will be’

‘We worry that we are wasting time if we are doing something that is not connected to an outcome’
