Success requires a willingness to sacrifice and endure for one's dream. To achieve greatness, one must be ready to put everything on the altar for their goal, even if it means giving up personal time, relationships, or leisure activities. Sacrifice is about what one is willing to give up rather than what they are willing to do. It involves prioritizing one's goals above all else and being willing to stop certain activities in order to make room for progress towards the desired outcome.
Shedding identities is such a core part of entrepreneurship (...) you have to be willing to say, “I am no longer this way.” Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) shares with us his more in-depth perspective on why it’s okay to have friendships that don’t last long, the kinds of relationships that we need to keep in order to succeed in life, and why you should never take to heart the words or labels that are said about you (even if they’re from loved ones). This is part 2 of the episode.
