Progress in a Vacuum: knowing you did enough when you can't see the results.
from Davey Gets Rich: a Business Startup Tale · host Davey Mars
Drop and give me 20. Push-ups. Right now. Look in the mirror. Do your clothes fit better? Have you lost weight? Of course not, but that's often how we treat ourselves when we're starting a business... "where are my results?. I can't over stress the importance of short-term action-based goals for keeping you feeling like you are moving forward. At the end of the day, did you do what you planned? Then you won the day. Even though I intentionally set the bar kinda low yesterday, I also managed to shut off the computer around 4pm (a rarity for me). That felt like a win. And if I don't fee like a "achieved" enough yesterday, I'm not disappointed in myself, i just have to get better at estimating tasks and time. That's something I can control
