It couldn’t have it any other way anymore.
I’ve tried my hand at working for other people; having a boss, getting a paycheck from someone else. I’ve even tried my hand at this before, working for myself, “eating what I kill.”
It’s different now than it was before. This time I feel more confident that I have everything I need to succeed, and I’m in the right place at the right time.
My business is only as successful as I am; I am only as successful as my business; the two are symbiotically linked. This creates a scenario where in order to survive I must work, rather than just show up. It creates a scenario where in order to thrive, I work harder and reap the reward of my own decisions, which is something I rarely saw when working for others.
This lifestyle isn’t for everyone, I realize that. For me, I can’t fathom the idea of going back to the time where my survival was not linked to my own ability to generate revenue and a time where any authority held the keys to unlocking my growth and success.
I remind myself of this because the survival instinct keeps me motivated and the thrival motivation keeps me pushing my own boundaries.
I am the reason that I survive, I am the reason that I thrive.
