ALTHOUGH I KNOW THAT IT IS NOT AS STRAIGHT FORWARD AS THIS (MANY PEOPLE DO NOT COME FROM A PLACE OF EQUAL OPPORTUNITY ETC), IT IS JUST SOMETHING THAT PERSONALLY RESONATES WITH ME. SOMETHING THAT I CONSTANTLY REMIND MYSELF OF WHEN I LACK MOTIVATION IS A QUOTE I HEARD AROUND WHAT WAS PROBABLY THE TOUGHEST POINT OF THIS JOURNEY.
THE QUOTE IS: “THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE LIFE YOU HAVE AND THE LIFE YOU WANT IS FOCUS”. I’VE DEFINITELY ALWAYS KNOWN THAT I WANTED TO START MY OWN BUSINESS. I USED TO (AND STILL DO) HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT BUSINESS IDEAS - THIS IS JUST ONE I FELT PASSIONATE ABOUT AND FELT LIKE IT WAS SOMETHING THAT COULD GROW WITH ME.
IN TERMS OF MOTIVATION, I THINK IT ALL COMES DOWN TO HAPPINESS. FOR ME, I KNOW I’M HAPPY WHEN I’M WORKING TOWARDS SOMETHING I’M PASSIONATE ABOUT AND AM ACCOUNTABLE FOR (BOTH ITS SUCCESSES AND FAILURES).
