Why do people drop out? Sure, some things are hard. Whether med school, Navy Seals screening tests or starting a business, things get to you. People start those things with high energy and optimism but the further time goes, the more people drop out and few people finish.
There’s always a handful of people who ‘Steal the bacon’ in life. They enter competitions and win. They push through rigorous screening tests, they start successful businesses, they’re winners and finishers. Wherever they go, barriers seem to melt away like mist in the desert sun.
So, what’s the secret ingredient? It can’t just be that they work harder. There’s something deeper going on. Something that keeps those guys going when other people droop their heads, give up and go home.
Here’s what that ‘Something deeper’ is: Perspective. People don’t drop out because they’re weak. They drop out because they lose perspective. They start something good and hard but with time, they forget why they started. They forget where they’re headed and they forget what the long term pay off will be. It’s a big problem that people run into when they’re starting a business. They lose sight of the big picture, they get stuck in the moment and all they see is the thorns that they’re walking through.
So, here’s the million dollar question: How do you keep perspective when you’re starting a business? Here’s the million dollar answer: Surround yourself with the right people. Sure, you can conjure up strategies and tactics to convince yourself that what you’re up to is worth it. You can rehearse things to yourself day after day after day. You can play motivational cassette tapes in the car. When you really start to get into the grind, that’s gonna be tough unless you have other people telling you why you’re doing what you’re doing, you’re probably gonna forget.
This is why you should start by asking yourself this question: How can I surround myself with fellow entrepreneurs who know where they’re going, what to do and why they’re going there? There’s nothing like a community of driven people to kick your butt when the going gets tough, a community of peers who will inspire you, hold you accountable to your goals and give you help when you most need it.
