How NOT to stop. Personal startup experience. Every week I set , goals, that the group of a few amazing individuals I got lucky to meet, tracks with me, gives me advice on, helps me to achieve, keeps me grounded — you don’t know, how much it can improve your game of life, if you have a group of people, who you can openly talk to about your goals, about the progress you want to make, about actions and strategies you use — it’s worth millions! goals Since all this started I’ve incorporated a company with an amazing girl/friend/co-founder. A Better Self Inc. We figured out, what we do as a company and why, we opened our corporate bank account and probably will be roommates soon, we created our first line of chocolate, that is still in development, we are about to get our first seed funding to perfect the recipes and bring our product to the market to sell. I wasn’t able to do ANY of that for a year! And now in less than 2 months I did that. I still believe we can move even faster — we will grow exponentially in the era, where exponential growth of technology eventually set the rules and speed for everything. I grow as an entrepreneur, I grow as a person even more — having more responsibilities and accountability definitely is a major factor that causes it. I used to live in my head, having amazing goals, but having nothing to show for it in reality, wondering, why the world doesn’t notice my high aspiration, my mission to make the whole world healthier and better. Now I live in reality. I DO in reality. And as it turns out, it’s a bit more work, than setting goals. It’s far from easy, it challenges every single weakness and uncertainty in me, in my beliefs’ system, in my values. And at times, I feel like quitting, often to be honest, the more I do things out of my comfort zone, the more inadequate I feel — and that’s not the most enjoyable feeling, but there is no way around it, if we want to change our lives, ourselves. The only way is through! Going to the gym to work out first thing in the morning definitely helps to keep going. Even when I feel the least like lifting — I do it anyway. It trains the mind. Even more than it trains the body. We are still, A Better Self Inc., me and Kat, we are still in the process of perfecting our chocolate recipe, to keep it the healthiest, good-for-you kind of chocolate, at the same time creating the perfect look and texture, creating art. And the journey is not that simple as I expected. Chocolate is an intricate product — but I love it so much and people love it so much! I want to combine health and pleasure, and I know it’s possible, I just got to become a scientist for now and innovate. I might not be the best chocolatier, but I care the most about creating ultimate good-for-you chocolate, transforming junk food industry. I’m on a mission! Even though sometimes I feel like I’m failing at everything, feel like I should stick to what I know, what I’m good at. Can you relate? Here comes the group — I made my goals public, people are helping me to achieve them, I can’t fail, it’s not just about me anymore. And yes, I still can quit, but that would mean I publicly decided to give up on my goals, my dreams, not because they were impossible, but because I decided it was too hard, and impossible for me. The only way is through. I can, anyone can, do anything. As long as we don’t quit. As long as we don’t stop. Do — Fail — Learn — Get back in the game — Do … = Success. is inevitable. If you don’t quit before it happens. Success There is nothing, that can resist a passionate human heart + hustle + grit. NOTHING!
