"Starting a Company is Like Chewing Glass"
Those words, famously spoken by Elon Musk, resonate deeply with the challenges entrepreneurs face. Today's topic aims to inspire you never to give up. No matter how low you may feel at times, the most crucial part of the journey is to persevere and never quit.
Even Tesla, a company now known worldwide, faced near-bankruptcy three times. But did Elon Musk give up? Absolutely not!
So, why does starting a company feel like chewing glass? In my opinion, it comes down to discipline. Discipline isn't easy, especially when you have to do things you don't necessarily enjoy. There will be dark periods where it feels like you're enduring the pain of chewing glass. During these times, your friends and family may not support or understand you.
I can relate to this firsthand. My own family and friends often question my mental stability when they see me investing significant amounts of money into various businesses. They don't see what I see, and that's okay. It's important to recognize that most people around us won't reach the same goals we set for ourselves.
They don't even dream of achieving such ambitious heights. However, simply doing nothing won't change anything. If you choose not to take action, you can be certain that you've already lost.
It's crucial to be selective in sharing your ideas with others. While you can indirectly ask for their opinions, understand that 99% of the time, they won't fully grasp your vision. Rather than blaming them, we should recognize that their perspectives align with their own limitations and aspirations.
Now, more than ever, it's time to stay quiet about most of our ideas. Focus on internalizing and nurturing them. It's our responsibility to chase those dreams and turn them into reality.
Remember, the path to success is rarely smooth. It may feel like you're chewing glass at times, but it's during those moments that your true determination and resilience shine through. Stay committed, keep pushing forward, and embrace the challenges as stepping stones towards your goals.
