I have a perverse nature.
Many business builders
have one too.
When someone says
I can’t do something,
that’s the thing
I want to do.
When they say
I’ll fail,
that’s what
I apply myself
to succeed at.
I feel like
I’m being a Rebel,
doing my own thing.
But the reality is…
I’m still being controlled
by other people.
I’m doing the opposite
of what they want
but that opposite
might not be
what I want.
“I know
you’ve been proving
the naysayers wrong
for so long
that by now
it feels like
a regular part of the journey.
It’s entirely possible,
though,
that the folks
who are pointing out
that the industry’s path
might not be your path
have a point.
For every person
who has proven
the skeptics wrong,
there are a hundred
who should have listened to them
and done the work
they cared about
instead of
keeping track
of the wrong metrics.”
Don’t be manipulated
by your perverse nature.
Evaluate your choices.
Ensure they are
what YOU want.
