We've all hear that old cliche... "Love what you do, and you'll never work a day in your life."

The thing is, it's actually true.

The past 5 years of being an entrepreneur has taught me one thing.

When you don't have a bigger "why" to push you through on those long, hard days...

...you're not going to put in the work.

As cheesy and simple as it sounds, you really do need to have a bigger reason.

Mine is to help other men change their lives, and avoid traumatizing themselves all over again (such as I did).

What's yours?
