On the Fizzle team, we often find ourselves in a collective state of mind where we’re frustrated with our business and all we haven’t been able to accomplish yet. Yet I know people look at our business and just *wish* they could have built a fraction of what we already have. And at the same time, I know entrepreneurs who are 100x more successful than we are, and *they* feel the same frustration.
This yearning feeling we have as entrepreneurs — it doesn’t end. It’s something we have to learn to recognize and manage. Striving is good, but we’ll never be satisfied with goals we reach for long. Other goals are always around the corner. You have to take satisfaction from the journey itself if you ever want to feel good about what you’re doing
