Talked To Retired OG Entrepreneurs About Solopreneurship

Last night, I talked to some retired OG entrepreneurs about solopreneurship at a boat party.

They’ve confirmed with me the reality of what separates the wheat from the chaff––so it doesn’t become solopreneursh*t.

It’s the same mindset I’ve observed in successful salespeople: They keep showing up and do things that they don’t want to do.

Every. Fucking. Day.

There is no secret formula. And yet, it kind of is. Because most of us know what we have to do.

What if we took this as a compass? That even the highest achievers in our society don’t love a lot of what they have to do?

(Even David Goggins has admitted that when it comes to running marathons.)

Entreprenership and solopreneurship talks a lot about doing “what you’re your passionate about.”

To anyone who’s ever been self-employed (6+ months for me), this is utter nonsense. Most of the work we have to do fucking sucks.

Admitting that is ok.

The biggest progress I’ve made was always when I did things I absolutely hated doing, but were necessary.
