I don't think people talk about this enough. What is that exactly? Sacrifice. I was having dinner with a client last night, a fellow entrepreneur and we were talking about our journeys as business owners. We talked about the late nights, early morning, missed family events, sleepless nights, wondering how we would survive, and so much more.
It really got me thinking when I truly look around how many people in life are just so unwilling to sacrifice to live the life they want. What do I want? I want a life of pure freedom. One of the main reasons I become an entrepreneur was freedom. What is amazing is that for the last year and a half I haven't had anyone tell me what to do. I live by my own decision making.
The point is are you willing to make daily sacrifices to live out your best life? Your dream life? You have to be willing to take things to the edge, farther than most would. Personally, I am willing to make those sacrifices. Here is what I would encourage you to do. Ask yourself, "how do I want to live 5-10 years from now?" Then, ask yourself, "Is what I am doing today, the actions I take, the people I associate with, getting me closer or farther from this?
Let me know how I can help.
