Short spoken segment by Mike Andes reflecting on a tweet by Alex Hermosi: āBeing poor is worse than working hard.ā Andes describes feeling exhausted and frustrated during early-career "grind years," notes customer and hiring challenges, and urges persistenceāthese difficult periods will be stories to tell in the future.
Being poor sucks more than working hard. That to me. I'm not a big quote guy, inspiration guy, but when I saw that quote from Alex Hermosi, he tweeted it out, I, I thought it was very real. Sometimes you're sitting at home exhausted, and you're like, man, is this worth it? Is this. I am exhausted, I'm tired, I'm not having fun. And customers are complaining, customers dropping service, having trouble hiring and all that stuff is extremely frustrating. And it really made me realize, you know, this is the grind years. These are the grind years. And you have to just keep remind yourself, these are the grind years. These are the years where you gotta put your head down, work a lot of hours for such little pay. These are the times that you'll talk about in the future. Right now you're in the thick of things where 10, 20, 30 years from now, you're going to talk about these times.
