Would you live the hard way for a year so you could live easier for a decade after? THE SCHOOL OF GREATNESS

Transcript

Would you live the hard way for a year so you could live easier for a decade after? So what if you just acknowledge the next year is gonna be hard, but I'm gonna make choices that I've never made. I'm gonna be more courageous than I've ever been. I'm gonna unlock that creativity. Like what if you were courageous, bold, made moves and next year was hard? But 12 months now is a little less hard. And 24 months was amazing. And 36 months now you were living into who you're meant to be. But you just, you never know how Og Mandino has booked the world's greatest salesman. When he talks about I will persist until I succeed, that's one of the ten scrolls in the world's greatest salesman. And he talks about that you never know how many corners you have to go around until your success is on the other side. And how I translated that is, you might have to go through ten failures, ten question yourself, living on your sister's couch, and then the eleventh thing you found enough success to go forward.
