"Don't quit on a bad day."
(調子の悪い日にやめるな。)
成功者たちからよく聞く言葉です。
先日、10億ドル(1,600億円超)の
個人資産を持つビリオネア、
Andy Frisellaの話を
直接聞く機会がありました。
彼は起業してから3年間は無収入、
3年目から10年目までの月収は
平均695ドル(約10万円)ほど
だったそうです。
月収0~10万円の生活に耐え続けられる人は
あまりいませんよね。
でも彼は耐え、ビジネスをやめませんでした。
そしてその後、ビリオネアになりました。
"Don't quit on a bad day."
Andyの話を聞きながら、
この言葉を思い返していました。
調子が悪いからといってやめない。
やめるなら、やり切ったときか、
もっと良い選択肢が見つかったとき。
やめるべきかどうかを判断する
よい基準になります。
思うように結果が出なくても、
自分とプロセスを信じて
やり抜く精神力を身につけたいですね。
"Don't quit on a bad day."
Successful people say this all the time.
I recently had the opportunity to attend Andy Frisella's live Zoom session.
Andy is a billionaire with a personal net worth of over $1 billion.
For the first three years after starting his business, he earned nothing.
From his third to his tenth year in business, his average monthly income was only about $695.
Not many people could endure living on just $695 a month.
But Andy did.
He kept going, refused to quit, and eventually became a billionaire.
"Don't quit on a bad day."
As I listened to Andy, those words kept coming back to me.
Don't quit just because you're not getting the result you want.
Quit only when you're satisfied with what you've accomplished, or when you've found a better opportunity.
I think that's a great guideline for deciding whether it's really time to quit.
Even when the results aren't what we hoped for, we need to trust ourselves, trust the process, and develop the mental strength to keep going.
