Things rarely work first time. We can’t run a marathon without any training, we can’t be the boss of the company straight away without a lot of experience and prior success, it’s impossible to lose huge amount of body fat in only a week, there’s no such thing as a overnight success in anything.
Best bit of advice I ever had was that you need to put the work in consistently if you want to get anywhere, and don’t always expect it to go your way, in fact expect it not to for a while.
Expect to fail many times, expect MANY people to tell you to give up and forget your dreams, but on the way keep refining your efforts, keep modifying your approach until you get it bang on right.
Many negative voices will appear, but keep your head down and work even harder to prove them wrong, your success will appear somewhere down the line if you stick with it.
The most dangerous time is when you think things are going perfectly, expect something to pop up and knock the complacency right out of you and test your resilience to the full.
Prepare for failure but make sure you set down strong foundations down for yourself so you can bounce back immediately and achieve success. You can come back from anything and overcome the biggest of challenges.
When you are trying to achieve something memorable that will positively affect your life, expect the journey to be tough and life will test you out many times before you arrive at your destination.
Remember the road to success will be crowded to begin with, but your success will most likely come when everyone has left the field, because they have given up and they weren’t as willing as you to work as hard, overcome so many odds and you went the extra mile when nobody thought it was possible.
