Not because I am weak, but because business hits me hard—back to back. I see the moments I fail, and even though I learn from them, they still hurt.
This year has been filled with failures and lessons. Some days, I sit and ask myself, “Is this what comes with growth?”
I have faced challenges I never desired. I have taken losses I never saw coming. But still, I stand and face them head-on.
And when I cry to God and reflect, my spirit reminds me—it’s better to go through these struggles now than to encounter them later when they could destroy everything we have built.
The way I see it, this is like a business preparing for the Olympics. The training is brutal. The challenges are relentless. The losses sting. The pressure is real.
But do I want to step onto the Olympic stage, unprepared, only to face battles I should have fought in training?
Business is teaching me that you cannot dream of greatness and run away from the pain that builds you.
It is better to fail now and fail fast. To learn the lessons, overcome the struggles, and fix the weaknesses. Because when the big stage comes, you don’t want to fail when it matters most.
I know many of you in business feel this too—the setbacks, the disappointments, the struggles that make you question everything. But it is better to struggle now than to struggle when everything is on the line.
If you want to go to the Olympics but you are running away from the hard things, the painful lessons, and the tough experiences, then I am sorry for you.
Because when the real game starts, you will not be ready.
So, let’s embrace the pain, fight the battles, take the losses—but never waste them. Learn from them, grow from them, and make sure you never fail at them again.
I am The Billionaire Mechanic. This is how we build businesses that don’t crumble. This is how we prepare for greatness.
If you are going through tough times in business now, may God strengthen and prosper the works of your hands.
