When going after your dreams, you are entering in only 3% of the population while most of the rest hate what they are doing every day, but won’t do anything about their situation. They think it is a normal way to live, but it isn’t you, you know better, as you are pursuing greatness instead of succumbing into mediocrity.
I understand that business and entrepreneurship can be lonely at times and that a very small amount of people only get you. But you will never get them either, because you understand the value of what it means to grind and to pursue greatness. “Difficult roads often leads to beautiful destinations” – Author unknown.

By continuing day in and day out, the sacrifices that you are making today are going to grow in the future. But once you get to be successful, it won’t get easier as you have now to learn to stay at the top.
The Biggest Risk of All But most people in life are gambling on the biggest risk of all, the bet that one day they can buy back the time they wasted chasing money and working for someone else’s dream. They think that if they work for 50 or 60 years, they can retire and enjoy life by doing what they want. The problem with this kind of mindset is that nine out of ten people are dying broke by using that strategy as a blue print for their life. Not to mention how unhappy they become with the meager pension they receive and for the regrets of not having pursued the greatness of their dreams in the first place.
Focus on All Aspects of Life On the other hand, you need to focus and work on every aspects of your life by also being a good friend, a great spouse, a wonderful father or mother, a boundless leader, a remarkable care taker for your family, a giver, as work and entrepreneurship is only one part of an experienced and fruitful life, and means nothing without adding all of these things together, as they are parts of an all. I just wanted to say that people who are pursuing greatness are the people that win in life because they always continue their forward progression. They always grow and better themselves, and not just their businesses, and that is the distinction between greatness and mediocrity.
Pursuing Greatness People who do pursue greatness instead of surrendering to mediocrity are the ones which do not give up, which are not scared and run, which do not search for magic tricks every day, but which keep just pushing forward. As you check the people you appreciate the most in life, like your mentors or a person you are looking up to, you realize that they work as hard on their relationships or any other aspect of their life as well as their careers. And as such, you recognize that pursuing greatness cannot be reached and achieved unless you are taking care of every facet in your life. Finally, as you evolve, you might to share with people what you may know, but unfortunately some of them won’t see the light. So stop forcing; it will exhaust you to try to help people who do not want to help themselves. Do not engage with those who refuse to see the truth, just because they don’t want all of their illusions shattered. Give your time to anyone who listens, is open and legitimately tries to pursue greatness. Help the ones you can, but don’t sweat it if you can’t. Since they do not appreciate your good vibes, give the plenty left overs to those who do. If you need any help in pursuing greatness >>> Contact me
