This is a YouTube video titled "Identify What Drives You Forward" containing a motivational conversation recorded in March 2024. Allison Maslan and another speaker discuss the internal drive and passion needed to persevere through challenges, particularly in the context of raising money and pursuing one's mission or purpose.
So what inside you kept you pushing through? Like, what is that? It's that ingredient inside that just kept you going forward and not giving up.
To be honest, I had no idea how hard it would be to raise the money. I tell people I teach this. It's critically important for you to do something that you connect with with great passion. This is like the most important thing I can do in my life. It's your mission, your purpose or the negative side of energy. You are so pissed off. You're so angry that this is there. If no one else is going to do it, I'm going to do. It's really connecting with that emotion because otherwise you're going to give up. It's really got to be driven inside you. It's got to be your calling, your purpose, your mission and that will fuel you at 3 o' clock in the morning when other people are giving up.
