Other Quotes From the Chat with Kris Reid:
- “It’s not so much about the result, it’s about the process, practice and you’ll get there, whether you’re practicing to learn how to do hand stand or something, hand stands are cool but once you can do it it’s like whatever, it’s that journey to learn how to do a handstand that’s the cool thing and that’s what you should really enjoy, it’s the same with business, people are just so scared of the outcome that it’s like okay I want to make a million dollars, great, it’s that journey towards the million dollars that’s the fun bit, once you get there it’s like oh whatever I’m there, what’s next”
- “An issue I see with entrepreneurs is they’ll throw everything at one thing and then it fails and they’re out because they don’t have anything left, or they throw their little bullets around they hit something and they don’t go after it, that’s when you throw everything at it”
