The only thing you care about when you’re trying to breathe – when you’re gasping for air – is breathing.

When you get to the point that all you want to do is be successful as bad as you want to breathe – that’s when you’ll be successful.

I dare you not to be inspired by the video below. As you watch, think about what you want, what matters as much as that breath of air you just took – then go start working on that.

I love this video! It’s so true though, you have to want it badly.

I love the video for one simple reason: it shows respect for process.

So many people are out there searching for some magic recipe for success but there is a simple reality that so many people just don’t want to accept. It is darn hard work.

Yes, I know that brand matters, marketing matters, content matters, but I believe that hard work has to be at the root of all those things. If it were easy everyone would do it.
