You're Going to Fail

Admit it. You're terrified. You're not going to make it. You've gone out and you're trying, but deep down, you know that you're not going to make it. You know that it was stupid that you even tried.

Look at all the great things that you are saying to yourself. They're self-fulfilling prophecies. You begin to scan the world for all the ways in which you are likely to be failing and the reality is, you are going to find those things. But, here is the thing: you've just got to keep going.

Sometimes, you're going to have to pivot. That doesn't mean that you're going to reverse course. It often means tweaking and looking for opportunities. Try not to be too bullheaded. Be open. Be honest. Test and adjust course. Just, "don't take to much counsel of your fears." That just doesn't help that much.

I suppose that it was mistake to call this "you're going to fail." The reality is that you are going to "learn." That is the better phrasing with all of this. You are going to stumble along the way, but keep the faith. You've got a vision, then continue to execute on that. If you do that, then you will "learn" how to get there.
