Chapters
When I read this day in the book, it reminds me why I'm so close with my builder. You know, Chet is very special individual, as you'll get to know in the Build to Lee community and from his writing. But he is probably the best example that all the builders probably would say they know in regards to kind of, again, knowing who he is and what he believes and why he believes it. And it's true. Your name is a big deal. And how you play into that and the emphasis that you place on who you are and how you show up in the world and how much you try to protect whatever it is that you're building or that you're pursuing says volumes about who you are, how you lead and what you stand for. And there's a lot of things in this world that you can't control, but there's a lot of things you can control. And getting a strong core and writing this stuff out, getting clear on who you are and where you're going. There's nothing more important if you want to be successful and there's no better time to start than now. You have to ask yourself, if not now, when there is no right time. You just have to go, you have to want it and you have to want it bad. And we can't give that to you. If you work one on one with a coach, they can't give it to you. You could just get knocked around in life until you wake up and realize now it's time. And the only thing I would tell you in regards to that is don't wait. Don't wait till the storm hits. Start doing the hard work. Now, I can promise you your storm is coming. It comes for everyone. It's undefeated. And yours is just waiting to pop. And so it doesn't matter if you're a young professional in college, coming out of college, starting your career, or you've been in it for a long time and you've experienced these things that you know I'm talking about. But it's. It's. Life is a series of nonstop tests. And it's those tests, those obstacles and those challenges that actually are the things that are the catalyst to our growth. So we look at it as such a bad thing when these things happen, but you have to make sure you're strong when they happen so that you can absorb it, you can stand, and then you can overcome. And adversity is gonna strike. And you gotta ask yourself, are you prepared now? And if you're not, don't wait. Don't wait. We're on day 26. We got a long way to go. What version are you on? What piece of the core are you working on? Who are you sharing it with? How meaningful is it to you? If you're normal, you don't care that much. You may not even have gotten this far. But if you're watching this and you have, okay, then you're again, you're probably further than 80% of the people who started it on day one. Don't stop. This is where it gets easy to kind of, like, lull a little bit. You're a few weeks in. Be one of the few. Be one of the few and hone in on what you love to do about all this so that you can get that momentum back. Pick up the steam that you had when you first started and make sure you connect with us in the forum.
