How to Not Settle!
Two Questions for the Ambitious:
1. How Do I Get Money?
You need capital to start or grow a business, but doing it small won’t make it big. If you keep thinking small, you’ll stay small. Have you critically evaluated your current strategy? If you’re honest, you might realize it’s flawed or hasn’t been tested. It’s better to execute and learn from the outcome than to linger in false hope. Many people spend years wandering, only to finally act and discover their plan was empty from the start.
2. How Do I Avoid Settling?
This question is deeper than it appears. If your parents are well-off — if they can afford anything you or they want — this may not apply to you. But for those without inherited wealth, this is crucial. Look around you: that guy who rents a small shop with two kids, that woman running a small hairdressing business — they were once like you, full of dreams. But they settled. They either accepted their current situation or held onto the hope that luck or someone else would change their lives.
Remember, if everyone could reveal their true struggles, the world would be full of despair. They’re not much different from you. If you don’t figure out how to make money and take bold steps, you’re on the path to settling. This isn’t just about motivation; it’s a reality check. After figuring out how to get money, you’ll need it to invest in your ideas. And that’s where the real challenge begins because the gap between your dreams and your resources will become painfully clear.
Once you reach this stage, your journey has truly begun. I’ll share my own challenges and the kind of luck you might need to succeed.
