A speaker shares how he drove a beat-up, tape-wrapped car and felt ashamed parking it at Starbucks, but kept going anyway. He now drives a $100,000 car. The lesson: face your problems head-on instead of avoiding them, because dealing with hardship now builds the leader you become.
So deal with your issues now. Deal with the adversity now. Don't run from it. Don't put a band-aid on it. Deal with it now because ultimately that's what you need to grow. That's what you need to become the leader that you need to be. See, when I was driving to Katie's, guess what? I was driving in a ghetto little car with blue painter's tape on it. And I would pull up to Katie's and I would have to park my car down the street because I was so embarrassed. I would drive, I would park other places at a Starbucks because And people would see me and people would be at other Prime Americans would be at the Starbucks and they'd be like, hi Vivian. I'd be like, hi. And they would see me right there patching up my little bumper and it was so embarrassing, but I'm like, man, this is temporary. I can't wait. And today I drive over a $100,000 car, my dream car. And so all of that has been worth it.
