The kids and I take a walk every night after dinner.
A little routine we started awhile back. Part decompression, part digestion, part step counting, and part screen time pause.
There’s a bees nest we pass daily. We give it some space. They mind their business, we mind ours.
Last Thursday?
We already passed the nest when I felt something on my right arm. I lifted my arm, looked at my tricep, and noticed something black. I swatted at it, not knowing what it was.
Maybe not my best idea.
That thing stung me like I owed it rent money.
We got home, Amanda performed emergency tweezer surgery, and nursed me to recovery. The kids giving me a grape popsicle like I was some war hero was the cherry on top.
We walked the next night.
And the next.
And again last night.
It got me thinking…
How many of us are doing what we’re supposed to be doing…posting the content, making offers, sending the emails, chatting in the DMs/emails with our audience, running the ads…and still getting stung?
- The ads that bomb
- The content that flops
- The offer that doesn’t get the sales you expected
Sometimes you can do everything “right” and still get stung.
Welcome to entrepreneurship!
It doesn’t mean you stop walking.
It doesn’t mean you stop creating.
It certainly doesn’t mean you give up.
Just means you keep showing up.
Day after day.
Week after week.
Month after month.
And yes, year after year.
Because the ones who are winning?
Aren’t the ones who never get stung.
They’re the ones who shake it off like Taylor Swift.
YOU GOT THIS 🙌
In your corner,
Adam
