Chapters

We were created to run. And one of the biggest problems that I personally had is I would get to the starting point of this race and the gun would go off and we were ready to run the race and I just would be still, frozen, stuck, overwhelmed. And I would justify it and I would victimize myself. I live in West Virginia. I've never had a mentor. I've never had some of the things that these other people have in building their businesses. I want to tell you, being a victim will get you nowhere. Just sympathy. Sympathy does not pay the bills. Sympathy doesn't bring you into a place of wholeness. Sympathy doesn't get you over the hump of being pro— a proactive dreamer.
