You can overcome anything with enough time and consistent effort, but...

It might take a really long time.

There are short cuts, though.

The most obvious shortcut is to learn from people who have already overcome your challenges and done the types of things that you want to do.

That will shave years off of your journey, but there's an even better way:

Get plugged into a community with the right partners and mentors.

Partners are the people on the same journey as you at about the same stage as you.

Mentors are people who have been there and done that.

This type of well-rounded community does several things for you:

🎯 They keep you focused.

🔥 They keep you motivated.

💡 They help you learn what not to do.

😉 They remind you that people like you can do it, too.

🤪 They show you you're not crazy.

📢 They drown out the negativity of people who don't understand your journey.

Maybe you've been doing everything right. You're read every book, studied the greats, and spent your nights and weekends working on your side hustle.

But if you're still doing it more or less on your own, that's probably what's holding you back.

To kick things into high gear, you have to build a team or join one.

Full stop.
