The mindset of sacrifice for success means being willing to put everything and anything on the altar of one's success. It involves making trade-offs, giving up leisure activities, and even sacrificing personal well-being to achieve one's goals. This mindset requires a willingness to forego immediate gratification and instead prioritize long-term success. It is about out-sacrificing anyone rather than simply outworking others. The key question is whether one is truly willing to make the necessary sacrifices to achieve their desired outcomes. Success requires the ability to endure short-term discomfort and make the necessary trade-offs.
