A couple of quotes from Tim Grahl’s book, Running Down A Dream…
Success is inevitable if you keep moving.
The only way you truly fail at a marathon is to stop taking the next step. Sometimes you’re running, sometimes you’re walking, and sometimes you’re crawling. It doesn’t matter. If you’re moving forward, you will succeed.
I ran a marathon many years ago, hit the wall around mile 21 😩 and had to walk for a few miles. But I kept going, and eventually finished.
Similarly…
Sunday marked 13 years since I quit my job and started working for myself.
I was pretty naive in the beginning, figured this entrepreneurship thing would be a piece of cake 🍰
As it turned out, it took almost a decade for my business to earn $10,000 in one month (reports).
Three years later, my monthly average is $25,000 – on track to crack $300k for the year – and I reckon I’m still just scratching the surface.
I haven’t run the whole way. I’ve walked parts of this journey, crawled others 😮💨
But I’ve kept going, kept moving forward.
And that, more than anything, is what has helped me succeed.
