Summary
Many businesses and entrepreneurs fail when starting up because they don’t have a proper plan in place. Not just something to get you started, but a plan for the next 8 or 9 years down the road. Jayson, Jeff, Bryan and Jeff talk about looking ahead, and creating an action plan on how to get there, performing that plan every day.
The business world moves very fast, that’s why getting complacent in business is like going backwards. If you’re not working to improve your business every single day, other people will be doing that work, and they will surpass you. As Wayne Gretzky once said, “Go where the puck will be, not where it is”.
Staying comfortable means you’re not growing, it means you aren’t trying new things and learning from mistakes and successes! You need to get comfortable with being uncomfortable! Experience failure, and learn from those lessons.

| 1:40.3 | take you? I'm sure you had in the beginning many days and nights where you lost money or you were |
| 1:44.7 | struggling and you had to overcome that. What was that timeline like? And then now what are you doing |
| 1:49.5 | since you've really received the fruit of your work? Well, first of all, I didn't have a podcast |
| 1:55.3 | like this to teach me anything along the way. Right. So I made every possible mistake that all of the listeners are going to make |
| 2:04.0 | if they don't think about what the end looks like before they start. I just did it because I wanted |
