In 2006 I suffered from crippling anxiety attacks that sent me to the emergency room twice.

In 2009 I made a business investment that left me nearly bankrupt.

From 1994 to 2010 I struggled with binge-drinking because I was a socially anxious introvert that hid behind the booze.

In 2016 I made the brilliant decision to shut down a $5.5 million a year business and start another business from scratch in an entirely different industry.

In 2019, at age 44, I was a lifelong bachelor still looking for the love of my life.

All of these challenges were part of my Entrepreneurial Roller Coaster ride.

But no matter how big the obstacle in my way...

I never, ever thought of quitting.

BECAUSE OF MY VISION!

Instead of quitting… 

I used a specific mindset to persevere and chip away until — just like good old Andy Dufresne from Shawshank — I was free from my prisons.

This mindset is so powerful some people have had it tattooed on their legs. 

And my friend Ryan Daniel Moran even quoted me on it in his best-selling book, 12 Months to $1 Million.

That mindset goes like this:

“Success is simple once you accept how hard it is.”

Only when you admit to yourself that you are climbing a personal Mt. Everest, will you actually take the challenge seriously...

And accept that it will take more preparation, dedication, persistence and consistency than anything else you have ever done in your life.

Only then will you have the strength and commitment required to make the necessary sacrifices.

Whether it’s getting out of debt while your friends waste their money...

Dieting down for a bodybuilding competition while friends eat pizza in front of your face...

Or giving up weekends for a while to build your 7-figure business...

SUCCESS IS SIMPLE ONCE YOU ACCEPT HOW HARD IT IS!

So here’s my question to you:

What is YOUR personal Mt. Everest?

Is it starting a side hustle?

Getting your book published?

Dropping 30 lbs and improving your health?

Joining the top 1% of earners in your industry?

Whatever it is, you must get crystal clear on it.

And accept that each major achievement in your life will almost always come at the top of the hardest climb you’ve ever had to make.

It’s not easy…

But it is simple.

And anyone with the will to do it, can.

As long as you identify your Mt. Everest and believe in your Big Vision.

I knew that overcoming anxiety wouldn’t be easy...

That reinventing my business would be challenging...

And that finding my wife, love of my life, and mother of my children would take time...

But I did it.

And you can too.

I believe in you!

Success Loves Speed,

Craig
