Just Show Up
Half the battle is arriving for battle.
Starting a company is not easy. There are days you wake up tired. Days where you feel that you are not making any progress. Days where you feel stressed. Days where you want to checkout. The key to surviving during those tough times is to keep showing up.
It is easy to run away. To avoid the pain by going in the other direction.
Just keep showing up.
Don’t run away.
Show up day, after day, after day.
Get used to showing up. Build a habit of showing up, where it feels natural regardless of the circumstances.
Build a team of those who will show up with you.
And just keep showing up.
Show up when it rains, snows, hails, or whatever the world throws at you.
Just keep showing up.
After a while, the world will look at you like you have done something extraordinary. Like you have some magic trick which turned lead into gold. All you did was continue to show up.
You see most people will hear this idea and get uncomfortable. It is not what they want to hear.
But, showing up is what makes greatness.
Bonus: This past week I started using Whisper Memos. It takes your voice memos, transcribes them, and emails you the transcription. It is so painfully simple, but I absolutely love it. I initially started with the free trial, but after about 60 minutes I knew I was going to love it and committed to the year plan. I do not regret it at all. Here is the link: https://whispermemos.com/
