Summary

As entrepreneurs, we’re always trying to bring something new into the world, and that work is never easy. Even if the idea already exists, the market still has to accept you as the one bringing it. Most of what we try won’t work, no matter how good the idea feels at first. That’s why we always need something to look forward to—a new challenge, a new vision, a reason to get up and keep pushing. In this episode, I talk about why this excitement isn’t a luxury for us, but a true requirement to stay in the game. Show Notes: [02:49]#1 Excitement is energy.  [09:34]#2 Vision creates velocity. [14:26]#3 There must always be a next thing.  [19:23] Recap Episodes Mentioned: 1193: Focus: The Force Multiplier Next Steps: ⚡️ Power Presence Protocol  Command The Room Without Words → http://PowerPresenceProtocol.com  🎓 Work On Your Game University Get structured, get paid → WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com 📲 Get Dre’s #DailyMotivation Text → 305.384.6894 (or http://www.DreAllDay.com/text) 📧 Dre’s Daily Emails (Free) Clarity.

Entrepreneurs do not go and do things to be successful because you're trying to make money

0:29.1

or you're trying to, quote-unquote, be successful.

0:31.7

You do it because you're driven to do it.

0:33.7

The success is just a byproduct of you chasing after your drive.

0:40.4

Work on your game. Work on your game. Work on your game.

This is Drey Baldwin, and Work on your game is the system that turns discipline into dominance.

Today's topic is why entrepreneurs always need something to be excited about and look

0:56.3

forward to. This is an important one that I've always told to entrepreneurs individually. I talk to people

1:02.4

about this because by nature, we as entrepreneurs are trying to do things that are not easy to do.

1:08.6

We're trying to bring new things into the marketplace or at least

1:11.0

things that may already exist, but we're trying to bring them into the marketplace in a new way

1:15.0

or with a new vehicle. That new vehicle sometimes is being us. So you may not be the first

1:19.9

yoga teacher in history, but it's the first time that you are being a yoga teacher in the marketplace.

1:24.6

So why should the market accept you? We're trying to do things that are not already accepted. And again, the vehicle may not be accepted. The person may not be accepted. The method may not be accepted even though the thing is already out there, such as you're opening a new pizza shop. We already accept pizza, but we don't accept pizza from you. So you're doing something that has not been accepted yet. And it's a difficult thing. Difficult thing to do. By nature, this is what we're trying to do as entrepreneurs. We are naturally disagreeable. And it is not always guaranteed that what we try is going to work. As a matter of fact, usually when you're an active entrepreneur, it's guaranteed that many of the things you try will not work despite the fact that you thought it was an amazing idea, at least when you thought of it. I can't tell you how many ideas I've had that I thought

2:04.6

were amazing ideas when I came up with them, but they did not end up working out as amazing ideas.
