How can you expect to create an epic, VIP lifestyle when you have one foot in and one foot out.
You can’t go half in on something like this. You MUST commit to going all the way in or all the way out. There is no middle ground.
You can’t get “ready” or prepared to go all in.
You can’t “hope” things will get better all on their own.
You can’t expect people to take you seriously when you’re not 100% committed.
And by 100% committed I mean that this is what you be, do, are - ALL OF THE TIME. Not just sometimes. Not just when it feels good. Not just when it’s convenient for you to do so. But all day, every day, for the rest of your life.
I mean –
I shouldn’t have to even tell you this, but I’m telling you anyway:
You have to make a decision to commit to going all in on this, or back out now. On this life, on this mission, on this journey.
If you’re looking for safety, entrepreneurship is not for you.
If you’re looking for certainty, entrepreneurship is not for you.
If you’re looking for luck, entrepreneurship is not for you.
Entrepreneurship is for those of us who ALWAYS choose to go all in –
With our businesses
With our health
With our relationships
With our lifestyle
With our money
We don’t go a little bit, get scared and retreat.
We go FULL STEAM AHEAD, straight away, right from the beginning, and we don’t ever slow down. In fact, we can’t even remember the last time we disconnected completely, turned everything off, “relaxed” or taken a “break”.
Not because we didn’t deserve one
Not because it was impossible to have one
But because we didn’t actually WANT one
Because comfort actually makes us antsy.
We don’t like to sit still. In fact, it’s VERY difficult to keep us still for too long. Often when we’re watching TV (if you’ve somehow convinced us to do it), we will still be on our phones working. And when we’re waiting in line at Starbucks, we’re on our phones working. And when we’re at the park and the kids are playing, we’re on our phones working.
We can’t just relax.
Believe it or not, we don’t actually ENJOY sitting around and doing nothing.
Some people go to work, do the 9-5 thing, and when they come home, all they want to do is shut off completely and do a whole lot of nothing. They want to relax. They want to sit still. They want to have a break.
But not us.
No, we want to get shit done all day, every day. We thrive on chaos. We have never-ending to-do lists (and secretly love to hate them). We get really unhappy when there is white space on our calendar.
You see –
THEY feel trapped when they have no white space.
WE, us Badass Bosses, feel trapped when we do.
Trapped inside the fog of “what now?” and “I’m bored” and “OMG, I can’t take this, I need to do something!” and not knowing how to escape. Looking forward to the next day when we actually have 113 tasks on our to-do list so we can actually feel important and as though our life has meaning.
We know that there are people who look at us crazy. In fact, most do! But what we believe? Is that those who look at us and deem us crazy for loving the hustle, are the ones that are actually crazy themselves!
Crazy for not wanting more out of life
Crazy for settling and being content
Crazy for seeking out comfort
Crazy for not living up to their potential
Crazy for not believing
Aren’t you so glad we found each other?
Doesn’t it feel good to know that there are other “crazy” badasses out there JUST LIKE YOU?
We’re here, and we aren’t going anywhere!
Bring on the crazy!
Bring on the hustle!
Bring on the up-leveling!
Bring on everything!!
We don’t need any down-time. We’re ready to kick ass today and every day. We aren’t seeking comfort. We are seeking DIScomfort. We don’t want people to feel sorry for us, we feel sorry for them!
And together we know –
That the more we show up
The more we give of ourselves
The more we are TRUTHFUL about who we are and what we stand for
We really can make a difference not just in our own lives, but in the lives of everyone around us.
All we really wanna do is inspire others.
We want to show them what’s possible.
We want them to know and understand that the fear and the uncertainty are worth it.
We want them to know what we know, which is this:
Whatever it is that you desire IS possible for you.
You really can be, do and have EVERYTHING you want.
And now? We have to prove it. By living OUR best life, and doing everything possible to ensure it’s the best one ever! You’ve only got one, ya know. 😉
