I’m exhausted from staying up late the last couple of nights getting stuff done.
This is called WINNING UGLY– where you win, but not gracefully.
I’ve found that entrepreneurship, as portrayed on social media, is not glamorous.
It’s WINNING UGLY– those mundane moments where you’re grinding out documents, dealing with unhappy customers, and being frustrated by employees who do shoddy work.
I’ve been coached by billionaires and CEOs– who I had thought were god-like, perfect people.
But when I got to know them, I heard about their failures and how they dealt with things that went wrong.
And their perseverance for years until finally, the compounding effects of their effort began to multiply.
WINNING UGLY is about relentlessly focusing on getting the result, over and over, not about how you look in the process.
Are you WINNING UGLY?
