Finding success in life and business will require a seemingly never-ending string of deeply uncomfortable experiences. Sometimes it’s physical, sometimes it’s mental, and sometimes it’s a financial discomfort, but reaching the next level will always come with growing pains. The good news is you can flip the equation! By forcing yourself into situations that you’re “maybe not ready for,” you can pressure yourself into reaching that new standard! This is a topic we’ve talked around a lot, but we thought it was time to really dive in and speak about things we’ve deliberately done to force growth and improve our tolerance for discomfort. In this episode, we share a variety of experiences from investing in a bigger office, to joining the Arete Syndicate, to going on a psychedelic journey into the mind.

A major trap that many people (not just business owners) fall into is trying to avoid burnout. The truth is, you need to power through it if you want to eventually succeed in whatever you’re doing! Your initial passion will inevitably dwindle, but it’s in that moment that you can create degrees of separation between you and the competition!  If our experience in business has taught us anything it’s the value of long-term commitment, sticking with something through the ups and downs! You shouldn’t expect great results in the first one or two years, but there’s no sense in quitting when you’ve already finished what will likely be the worst of it!  In this episode, we explain why burnout is an integral part of the process and talk about things you can do to help get through it!

Sometimes you gotta hit rock bottom before you can bounce back and break through to the next level! The incidents that actually redirect our lives are often painful, overwhelming, or otherwise unpleasant, but it’s these moments that can motivate us to make drastic changes for the better! In this episode, we share stories of what we now recognize as life-altering experiences that were difficult at the time but ultimately benefited us long-term. Examples include when Kale learned he was having a son at age 17 and when Trevor committed to kicking his drug addiction. Now that we have more than a decade’s perspective, we hope these stories will help you guys power through your own issues. Video of this podcast is available at YouTube.com/RealBusinessOwners.

Mitch is relatively new to entrepreneurship, but he’s doing a lot of smart things (some on an extreme scale) that other hustlers simply aren’t, especially at his age.
