If a runner expects herself to only run a 5k, but finds herself in a marathon, it’s not likely she’ll make it.
If an entrepreneur expects the work to ease up for a month, but reality sets in and he needs to put in the same amount of hours for another year – that’s a recipe for disaster.
One of the best actions we can take for ourselves is a mental one: Increase the expectation of the work it’s going to take.
Then, when it does require more effort, you’re not surprised or worse, defeated.
And when it doesn’t, you feel more relief than you would have if you had lower expectations.
Stay Positive & Play The Mind Game
