How I battle discouragement
I get hella discouraged on a regular basis. I battle it with a simple strategy. Every weekday I wake up at 4:30am and look at a page in my notebook that states my “Why”.
It says …
Create the Future of Education so I can change as many lives as possible
Running Treehouse for seven years has been full of extreme highs and lows. The only thing that keeps me going is a deep sense of purpose that our mission truly matters.
I also read books like Phil Knight’s biography Shoe Dog because it reminds me that folks that have built amazing companies like Nike didn’t know what they were doing either and struggled severely.
Finally, I try to remind myself that it’s a daily commitment to small actions that will yield long-term results, not big-bang plans.
