Before It Gets Easy

Andrew Garfield is an actor you may know from movies like The Social Network and Spider-Man 🕷

Here’s a story about him and movie legend Robert Redford (source)…

Back in the early part of Garfield’s career, once the pre-audition upchucking had subsided and he’d been cast in his first movie, 2007’s Lions for Lambs, his scenes consisted mostly of a rhetorical sparring match with the film’s director, silver-screen eminence Robert Redford.

Naturally Garfield couldn’t resist the chance to lob the Sundance Kid a question.

“I asked him, ‘What was the happiest time in your career?’ ” Garfield recalls. “And he said, ‘Before. Before it got easy. The struggle.’”

Keep that in mind if you’re struggling to get your business off the ground.

Embrace that struggle. You’ll look back on it fondly some day.
