Leave Yourself No Options

When you're just getting started...

You have nothing...

...and your back is against the wall...

It's easy to make progress because you don't have a choice.

When you earn some money...

Stack up a few wins...

...and create some positive momentum...

It's easy to get comfortable and let your foot off the gas.

This is where most people lose.

As soon as the comfort begins to creep in...

They start compromising on all of the tasks that got them where they are today.

While it may start as one small and "insignificant" compromise...

This mindset quickly spreads to every area of their life and costs them fucking everything.

Understand that if you want to be successful in the long-run...

You have to learn how to operate as if your back is against the wall at all times.

Because the minute you give yourself the option to cut corners or accept a lower standard of execution...

Is the minute you start to move in the opposite direction.

Don't let that be you.
