Passion & Grit

How does one keep going when success isn’t instant? Your event isn’t full, your classes aren’t full, hardly anyone is buying your product. Throwing in the towel seems easy at this point. You had a brilliant idea right? You have an awesome product (service), why isn’t everyone hip to your flow? My friend, the struggle is real. Not everyone is an overnight success and often what looks like an “overnight success” took many underlying years of unknown disappointments. It’s the passion that keeps us going, the sheer love for what you are doing. When you don’t love it, when it’s just about the dollar you can easily throw hands in the air and walk away. After all, there are easier ways to make that $$$. However, when you are passionate you do it because you enjoy it so much. You want to hone and grow your craft so you keep learning and improving and pushing your way to excellence. You either have the passion for something or you don’t…and when it’s real you feel that sh*t in your bones. The grit is for helping you live to fight another day when the response you hope for just isn’t there. It’s for helping you pick yourself up, keep at your craft but tweak your approach. You have to want it more than the obstacles before you. You have to clap yourself up to continue when maybe only 4 other hands are there clapping for you. Try things and adjust…learn and grow. Ask many questions…grow your knowledge. Readjust and implement. That’s how you make it baby.
