I literally had all my stuff in my car because I drove to California in my car and all my stuff was there.

When I say one line of, I slept on the floor

I get it.

I understand that because while I was going through it, I had no promise that it was going to work.

And I had also given up something that was significant.

I had a white collar job and every person that I knew when I decided to quit and start my own gym business actually had higher status than me.

So because they all had white collar jobs and I quit to start what most people would consider a blue collar business.

I lost all social status that I had within the girls that I knew and guys that I knew because I was no longer on the investment banking management consulting path.

And like I went to this prestigious college so that I could open up that world and then instead left everything so that I could become a personal trainer, which requires zero.

credibility at all and so if you are going through your version of hard time now maybe it is more sleepless nights maybe it is physical exhaustion maybe it's more the social stuff of feeling like your peers are getting ahead of you and wondering what's wrong with you and like you're for sure sacrificing this time money and taking on this risk but you're not sure if it's going to work the only thing that i can say is that every single person who was successful shares that path with you

the only thing that I can tell you that got me through that period of time was that I committed to not stopping.

I didn't know when I would succeed or if I would succeed, but I did know that I wouldn't stop.

And that if I didn't stop, that I couldn't be called a failure.

And so that was the big thing.

I realized that if I had to stop, then I would have to explain stopping.

That still meant that other people's opinions mattered to me.

But if I just keep going, I can always be like, I'm still doing it.

And as long as I had enough to cover food, which doesn't really cost that much,

i was gonna be okay i would encourage you to think out more specificity what really is the worst case scenario as someone who slept in the car on the floor you know what just like everything else it becomes steady state i remember when i was broker and had amazing memories

And I remember being richer and having amazing memories.
