They have their own opinions expressed by business partners.
When AC/DC screams, “If you want to rock the ‘n’ roll it’s a long journey to the top,” They were not just talking about music. They were talking about life. About something about business that is really important.
Creating something like a career, company or life you are proud of is not a direct shot. It’s a climb. Most people leave their shoes before they finish.
I won it. I can tell you that there is no elevator – just some standing stairs.
Grinding will have your check
When I started in real estate, I thought I was going to land like a rocket. I thought I was going to crush it because I was hungry.
No.
I was urging people to give me a shot. I was calling a cold, but no one answered. I was burning with my savings, wondering if I was just a cartoon line in someone else’s story.
This is not just difficult. It is humiliating. It’s a climb (I think Miley Cyrus knows what I’m talking about here). Grind is not yet considered to give you a reward. This is your testing. To see if you are serious.
The nights were that I would sit in my car after another failed and ask myself, “Have you been? Or will you be swinging?”
No one talks about this section. Grind is a place where most people disappear quietly.
Everyone loves you on the last line. No one cares about the mail.
When you are winning, people stand in line for happiness. When you cross the tape, they want to make you high five. They want to be in the picture.
When are you losing?
When do you find it?
When are you working for the indicator?
Cricketers.
No one is watching when you are practicing in the garage.
No one calls when you get cold and broken and doubt everything.
I remember hosting open houses where no one literally showed. On the bus and the scent of fresh cookies, hopefully the scent will sell the house.
Those moments? They are lonely. But they are necessary.
Most people get out at this place.
They didn’t realize how long the road is Really Is.

The road is reward
Winning is not what you change. Does the road.
You can’t succeed the microwave. You can’t flexibility.
You have to survive this. You have to get up when you are ashamed. You have to continue when you are wild.
As you can know, I’m a big music collector. I have always liked how the music paints, brings emotions, and most importantly, it brings people along.
AC/DC has not written this is a reason, “This is a short way.”
It is tall. This is brutal. This is personal.
And it is worth it.
The stories are the sticks.
You chased these deals for years.
The contacts you made finally ended.
You went to bed at night, and still show the next morning. Supplementary Note: I have a lot of energy and never drink caffeine. Once I became a father, I met the most tired version of myself. Even today, it has to be known to this day, and usually nowadays it is more than a cup (or three).
I used to think that the destination would feel better than this process. I learned quickly: The process is the place where gold is.
Learn to get a hit
There is a lesson here I wish I learned soon.
You have to love successful movies.
Reject.
Failure
Starting
This is the currency of development.
Life can often feel like we are more harassed bags than humans. I know that I am not the only one who thinks how it feels.
If you are not being rejected, you are not in the game.
This is a long journey to the top.
I’m laughing
I have been told that I was not so good.
I was not told that I stopped counting … twenty years ago.
And so I knew that I was Original To do something

Speed will not always save you
I like to move fast. But I develop a system that sustains speed.
Without the foundation, the speed will be eliminated.
I have created businesses that took many years before anyone’s notice. In six months I have seen people chasing shortcuts.
The speed is interesting. The pace makes you feel as if you are winning.
But most of the time, you are just making something that can’t weigh.
The long road builds muscle.
The long road makes reputation.
The long road makes something that can in fact maintain the weight of success.
I do not want to win fast. I want to create things that last longer than me.

If you are climbing, you are winning
You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to continue the movement. It doesn’t matter if you are at two stages or at two thousand stages. If you are still climbing, you are still in it. You don’t need to know all this. You don’t have to be loud (I’ve recently written more on this topic).
You just have to continue to show.
Success party is not enough.
It is a backback that you have to move forward.
Passing through Quick. During jogling.
The more funny looks, the more I am defining how the journey feels like. If you are sweating, struggling, still standing? You are already winning.
There is no magical place at the top. This is the next step. This is a decision to continue.
Remember, If you are on the long road, it’s good. This means you are exactly where you should be.
Keep going. Not going anywhere.
