Entrepreneurship: Perseverance

This is a call back from a LinkedIn post earlier this year but it’s relevant as we start thinking about 2025.

My son had a moment in his swim class that made him cry and he didn’t want to go back in. What would you tell a child (yours or another) who is hysterically crying and doesn’t want to go back and try?

Now think about that as things get hard about reaching your goals and pushing through the mundane. What will you tell yourself?

I was proud of him when he got back in the pool and he had his most productive swim class yet! Doing big things is scary & doing the small things to get there are hard (and sometimes super boring).

What are your scary goals? What are the boring steps to get there?

I’ve been focusing more on steps vs the goal lately.
