Until death all defeats are psychological

Chasing sunrise since 2020:
The goal: $10k/m monthly revenue from my products.
Am I closer? Yes.
Am I close? Far from it.
Chase again tomorrow?
Always.
Consistency is great and all, but the important thing I keep reminding myself of:
Progress > motion
Substance > speed
Impact > hours
Don’t forget – those green Github commit tiles mean nothing if they don’t move the needle. Consistency is necessary, but it alone is not enough.
But ultimately, I shouldn’t worry. As long as I keep going and don’t give up, defeat is not possible. 7 years now, I’m still here. 10 years, count me in. 20 years, I’ll never ever give up.
I love this line by Jocko Willink
Other than death, all defeats are psychological. NEVER GIVE UP.
So the best daily metric to track for startup success? You woke up each morning, still alive (physically).
Just don’t die.
Until death all defeats are temporary.
Until death all defeats are psychological.

@therealbrandonwilson huh how did Bryan Johnson enter the chat? The quote is by Jocko. But yeah I follow Bryan Johnson on twitter for his biohacking but guy’s got a weird vibe tbh
Haha if I had a dollar every time someone asks me about the clocks being un-synced…
Bryan’s tagline is “Don’t die.”
@therealbrandonwilson Oh haha, could have been partially inspired by his tagline yes, but applied in entrepreneurship
So now you’re a Bryan Johnson fan? 🤓 Do the clocks being off by a minute bother you?
