Enduring a 1.5 hour daily commute to a job site where I was in over my head and half the age of the guys I managed sucked the life out of me.
Desperate to change my sifuation, I’d drive from work to the Crooked Tree brew pub or Starbucks to study for my LSAT or work on my app before going home.
After years of nights, mornings, and weekends working in pubs and cafes, I now spend my days doing what I love most- building successful businesses.
There wasn’t any specific moment turning point in my life. The LSAT or app didn’t set me free.
In fact, most would argue the time I spent studying and working in my early years went to waste considering I never pursue law when accepted and I didn’t push to market the app. I once thought the same.
It’s only now that I understand all the time I spent in the pubs and cafes was the most valuable time of my life as a businessman.
Without facing the struggles of my daily routine I wouldn’t have forced myself to study law or try building an app.
Without the studying or building tech with my overseas contractors, I couldn’t do what I do for a living now.
The lesson is that series of events occurring in our lives will hardly ever happen on our timeline or in a way we plan for them to.
However, if you stay consistent for a lifetime you will get to where you’re headed.
Stay focued on what you want and don’t succumb to the forces working against you- even if it takes 8 years to build your dream like it did me.
