Have you ever considered that building a business is simpler than you think? What if success isn’t about complexity, but rather a mental endurance race fueled by a deep perspective on consistency? Let’s explore what running a 100-mile foot race and building a business truly have in common.
Prefer to watch? I’ve put my video below or if you’re a reader simply continue reading the post.
The Grueling Test of Endurance
I used to work on the communications team for a 100-mile foot race, keeping track of the runners. I was on the staff that supported people whose passion and hobby was to run these incredible long-distance endurance events. These athletes would run 100 miles nonstop over a span of 16 to 32 hours. The first-place winner would finish in about 16 hours, while the last person crossed the line around the 32-hour mark.
You might be wondering why I’m talking about this when I typically focus on business, entrepreneurship, purpose, chakras, meditation, and energy. The connection is actually quite simple.
Why Building a Business is Simpler Than You Think
Building the life you want, shifting your mindset, transforming your energy, and creating a thriving, purposeful business all require very simple action steps. Much like running a 100-mile foot race, the process is not complicated. However, it demands that you show up consistently and put one foot in front of the other. You have to do that long enough to get in shape and become fit enough to actually go the distance.
If you put me on a 100-mile track today, I’m not making it. I might last about 10 or 15 miles before I’m completely tuckered out. I’d quit, I promise you. But, if you put me on the marathon of building a business that has purpose, I won’t quit. It’s who I am; that’s my passion.
Passion as the Fuel for Consistency
Everybody has their unique passions and the things they do for fun or feel have purpose. For some, that’s running a hundred-mile foot race. They prepare for it and make it a lifestyle. They show up to put one foot in front of the other in marathons consistently for years to be able to run an ultra-long endurance marathon.
Your purpose, your business, your mission as a starseed, a lightworker, a healer, or a coach… someone here to make an impact in the world… is just like that.
It requires you to show up consistently. That’s simple, but it’s not fucking easy.
