A short YouTube talk (by Dr. Nneka Unachukwu) arguing against complacency in business and urging continual goal-setting and improvement.

There is no for instance. Oh, I hit seven figures. I just want to rest. We're just going to keep everything exactly the same and just have a cruise here, and then we'll get back to dreaming again.

You're deciding, I'm going to stay exactly the same, but your competition is getting better. You're deciding, I want to stay exactly the same, but the cost of doing business is getting higher. You want to stay exactly the same. Let's even use some examples. Like, there was a pandemic here, right? Like you. If you had nothing to strive for, if you weren't working on making yourself better and all of that, a crisis like that would have caught you completely unprepared and you won't survive it, right? Think about, I want to stay exactly the same, but there's a recession, though, so you can't stay the same.
