The hard part is trusting it the next morning when the world still sees the old version of you. He walked away from rom-com offers that climbed to $14.5 million. Not because it was easy. Because every time the number went up, he got closer to knowing exactly who he was. His framework is simple and merciless: make one bet. Make it non-negotiable. And have one person in your corner who heard you say it out loud. Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
