And only now am I starting to taste success- accomplishing 1% of what my goal was as a young man.
50,000 hours later, I’m a much older man- bags under my eyes from chronic lack of sleep and flight schedules that you wouldn’t want to endure.
But as a mentor told me, if you’re on a mission you truly believe in, you don’t count the costs.
Creating jobs for young adults is something I decided was worth giving my life for.
So if it’s another 20 years to see this through to scale, I don’t mind.
What is so important to you that you don’t count the cost?
