If your startup is still alive, congrats: you’ve survived the most difficult year in the past decade. Godspeed.

Jeff Bezos once said: "You can be grinding for 4 years with no results, and in the 5th year, become the biggest thing on the planet. The power of not giving up is real" Here are 10 things I learned from him:

Steve Jobs was once quoted as saying "Half of what separates successful entrepreneurs from non-successful ones is pure perseverance." So please keep going through the good times, the bad times, celebrate every win, always be learning, improve daily, and play the long game.

You'd be surprised who is watching your journey and being inspired by it. DON'T QUIT.

You get tested the most when it's time for you to elevate. Don't break.

You're so focused on the future that you don't realize, today was what you prayed for years ago. Enjoy your day.

Be patient. Sometimes the wait is longer because the blessing is bigger.

The right risk will change your whole life. Take it.

The WIN is coming. Don't let the WHEN worry you.

It's a full time job believing in yourself. No days off.

Usain Bolt trained for 20 years. You saw him for 9.58 seconds. Kobe Bryant made 1,000 shots a day during practice. You saw the 5-time NBA Champion. Pablo Picasso created over 50,000 works of art. You saw the man who defined modern art. Thomas Edison tested 1,000 prototypes

Entrepreneurship: • 5% idea • 5% timing • 10% talent • 80% not f-ing stopping

There's nothing more dangerous than the person who shows up every single day even when the rewards are uncertain. The one who can tolerate the most uncertainty is the one who will eventually win.

The world belongs to the people who never take no for an answer. The people who know they can bend reality through their force of will. The people who thrive through uncertainty. Those who believe they’re meant for more will usually prove themselves right.

This quote from Steve Jobs lives rent free in my head...

Do hard things, because nothing feels better than a hard-earned win. Nothing. The pain. The struggle. The resilience. The grit. And then, the reward. The thrill of knowing that you paid the cost of entry for the thing you wanted to achieve. Hard things are good for the soul.

Just show up.
