You don't have to be an extraordinary person to have success as an entrepreneur. The recipe for success is not that complicated, but it does take a lot of time and effort, and starting a business is going to be one of the most challenging, time-consuming, and also rewarding things that you're ever going to do in your life. What's helped me? Number one, first and foremost, is I love what I do. You have to love what you do, and I love helping entrepreneurs. If I couldn't help entrepreneurs and find a way to make money doing it, then I'd probably take 2 or 3 jobs on the side just to make ends meet so I could spend my time helping entrepreneurs. And that's when you know you're on the right path. Whenever I meet entrepreneurs one-on-one at coffee shops or at events and seminars, they often come to me with a look of defeat. You know, you've been working 80, 100 hours a week, nobody believes in you anymore, you're worried you have to go back, get a job that you hate working for somebody else. And within a few minutes of us talking, I see the look on your face go from despair and disbelief to excitement and energy. And seeing that change and knowing that you're going to go home and implement new ideas into your business and breathe new life into it, energizes me. I get excited. I want you to have success. I want you to go home and do that. And so, and then I want to go and do it again. So you have to have that passion. At the core of every successful business is a deep love and passion for what you're doing. Number 2: Model success. Whatever you want to accomplish in life, go find somebody who's already done what you're trying to do and learn from them. Success leaves clues. When I was 19, I had a software company. I had no idea what I was doing. I was a young punk kid, scared. I didn't, didn't want to fail and have embarrassment around me. And so instead of panicking, I I went out and said, "You know what? I'm not the first guy to go and try to sell software before." And I looked at companies like Microsoft, McAfee, Intuit, and looked at how they got started. I don't care how Bill Gates makes an extra million dollars now, but how do you go from zero to one? How do you make that first million? That's what I wanted to learn. And so we copied those strategies and put them to work for our business, and it was successful. So number one, you have to follow your passion. Number two, you have to model success to shortcut your path. And number three, you have to not be afraid to take action. You know, some things are scary to get started, and you may feel fall on your face and you're gonna have failures, and that's okay. That's part of running the business. You can't be afraid to take action. So I hope that helps. That's my success story. I want you to take steps every day to grow your business. Don't be afraid. Keep doing something every day, even if they're small steps. I'd love to hear about your success story if you want to leave it in the comments below. So thank you, and I'll see you soon.
