Building

My favourite feeling kept me stuck

My favourite feeling is starting something new.

But it’s also what kept me stuck.

This year I was building 3 things at once.

Every new idea felt like progress. Every new name gave me the rush again.

But the rush wore off in the same place every time. Right where the boring work started.

That's the habit I was training. Get the rush, then stop when it gets quiet.

So I'm practising the opposite now. One thing, all the way through the boring middle.

This week, that's following up on proposals.

The lesson behind this came from Alex Hormozi's “You Can Have Everything You Want in 90 Days”.
