A short YouTube monologue (uploaded by Eric Deeran - Master Filmmaker) arguing that business stagnation often happens when entrepreneurs make outcomes the goal instead of consistent hard work. The speaker advises making consistent hard work the primary goal so that outcomes become irrelevant, leading to sustained process-driven growth and reduced stagnation.
You feel like you're failing in your business, it could be because you're making the outcome the goal and not consistent hard work the goal. And so when you make consistent hard work the goal, the outcome, whether you hit it or not, becomes irrelevant, because you're doing what you're saying you're doing, which is consistent hard work. You're putting in the work, and that's the only fulfillment that you need. And if you set the outcome as the goal, the issue with that is, when you hit it, you're going to feel like you're fine. You're going to feel like there's nothing else you have to do. And that's when a lot of businesses stagnate. But if you can make consistent hard work the goal, then that's when you start to see businesses really take off, because you're falling in love with the process.
