ANNOUNCEMENTS: Pitmaster hosting a cookout, F3 dads event upcoming in May, check slack for more announcements and details.
COT: motivation is not a good foundation for long term success. Some of the top companies in the world have been studied to find what separates them from everyone else. As it is with the most successful people, you can’t let motivation be your driving factor in working hard. Motivation comes and goes. Some companies crushed it early on, and when things got challenging, they folded, went bankrupt, etc. As Christ did on his walk to Calvary, when things are challenging and hard, which they will be at times, put 1 foot in front of the next and keep marching.
Thanks, Wolfpack and Siri for helping get pain-train going 2 years ago.
