πThe formula for success
There’s a concept that I’ve been thinking about lately about entrepreneurial success. For people who work extremely hard, are constantly improving/learning, and are focused on starting businesses, it’s a matter of when, not if.
If you’re dedicated and improving, then it’s not whether you’ll succeed, it’s just how long it will take you. Whether that might be in 3 months or 10+ years.
For me, shifting from the if to the when mindset was powerful and helped me to truly start believing in my future success.
