You're Either Growing Or Rotting, There Is No In Between | Josh Kosnick 🎙️🦁🐑 #shorts

The first year that I took over from my father, I always had a motto per year that we were just going to— that was going to be our charge, our motto. And the first one I chose was strive to never arrive because I had seen other managing partners get installed and like, oh, I reached the mountaintop, I can let off the gas, I can buy the big house, I can do these things. And I was like, I stayed in the house that I had built a few years earlier. I continued to push myself and continue to grow because the moment you think you arrive— our friend Ben Newman talks about the seduction of success. It's insidious. Tedious. Like my dad taught me, you're either green or growing or ripe and rotting. There is no staying the same. So I just said that mantra of striving to never arrive. And I think there's a key component there. Like, I call it the kanai mindset. That's not original to me, but constant, never-ending improvement. It's like, I want to improve, and I want to see others improve and win so big.
