Actually, I never repost stuff.
But there’s this one short article I stumbled upon at Business Insider that hit a complete home run with me and I knew I had to share it with you guys.
The article’s so true.
It’s so accurate.
It’s so relevant to anyone who’s doing anything that can be considered “business.”
It’s exactly the kick we need to keep us going and help us achieve great things in our lives.
That being said, the original presentation of the article did suck a bit – guess nothing’s perfect. So if I’m going to repost anything, I want to step the game up a bit and give it some top-notch presentation!
Honest note. If there’s anything you can read this week that’s going to have a significant impact in your life, it’s this.
19 hard things you need to do if you want to be successful

You have to do the hard things
The things that no one else is doing …
… The things that scare you …
… The things that make you wonder how
much longer you can hold on
Those are the things that define you
Those are the things that make the difference between living a life of mediocrity or outrageous success.
The hard things are the easiest things to avoid
to excuse away. to pretend like they don’t apply to you.
The simple truth about how ordinary people accomplish outrageous feats of success is that they do the hard things
that smarter,
wealthier,
more qualified people
don’t have the courage – or desperation – to do.
Do the hard things.
You might be surprised at how amazing you really are.
