Motivation for 2021
“To be successful, you must be willing to do the things today others won’t do, to have the things tomorrow others won’t have.” - Les Brown
It’s a new year, and with it comes new opportunities and challenges. I remember what things were like a year ago, in January 2020. I was still wet behind the ears on most freelancing platforms. I had only been on Fiverr for 3 months, and I was still working my day job. One thing I remember vividly, is the fact that I promised myself I would stick with this Fiverr thing and see where it led me. It’s easy to look back on those times fondly now, but when I was in the middle of them… it was hard. Working a full time job and then dedicating a bunch of time to a “side hustle” was supremely exhausting. I would work all day, and then come home and work all night after spending a small amount of time with my wife and having some dinner. Work life balance was non-existent.
But, I knew what success looked like, and knew what I had to do to get there. If you want to achieve more, you have to do more. You have to be willing to sacrifice some things to get ahead. It may sound trite, but it’s true. I sacrificed quality time, sleep, a bit of sanity, all in the name of developing my business. I wanted to succeed badly enough, that I was willing to do that to myself.
And you know what? It worked. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not writing this from my yacht in the French Riviera. I am however, living my passion and working on my OWN business full time. I’m not building someone else’s wealth with my time and energy any more. I’m still working a lot, but now I enjoy the work that I’m doing, I’m working from home, I’m spending more time with my wife, and things are fantastic. I would do it all over again a million times to end up here.
