Beyond the Cave...

[MJ DeMarco]

Great article from the CEO / Founder of Lifetime Fitness...

When I was 27 years old, I got to experience this for myself. An avid entrepreneur, I had worked hard with some partners to build a successful little health and fitness club, and we had just sold it to a larger company. I had a great position within the new organization. I was making a lot of money for my age, and I had the opportunity to take on bigger responsibilities and make even bigger money if I stayed.


There was plenty of upside available to me there. Yet, on some level, I felt the need to move on, to take what I had learned and build something greater, something innovative and life changing.

Many parallels to life, getting out of your comfort zone, and the tough entrepreneurial process.

For the next three and a half years, I went through a miserable, Crood-like odyssey. I had come out of my comfortable cave to explore, eager to change the world, only to discover that pretty much nothing was going to go my way.
Each time I got things working in one sector, they fell apart in another. Every time I’d get one threat handled, another would rear its ugly head. Everything that could go wrong did, and then a recession set in.

For a while there, I was convinced I was cursed, and on more than one occasion, the situation seemed hopeless.


But I stuck with it, and eventually things turned around.

Full article... short and sweet.
