Every great entrepreneur from Steve Jobs to Mark Zuckerberg went through The Struggle and struggle they did, so you are not alone. But that does not mean that you will make it. You may not make it. That is why it is The Struggle.
I was deep in The Struggle a few years back. LinkedIn was firing on all cylinders and I was responsible for setting a new course for my team which would benefit the company and our customers in the long term, but could create some short-term headwinds for my org. Once we had set the course for where we needed to go, I felt paralyzed in executing on the path to get there. I second guessed every decision no matter how big or small and the hill seemed insurmountable. Hard times is The Struggle.
Leadership is often a struggle. Yet we can be brainwashed by western culture into thinking that struggle is inherently bad, a stigma that gets in the way when we find ourselves facing difficult or challenging times. Fears take over, leaving us embarrassed or ashamed, or even denying that a problem exists in the first place.
Something powerful happens when we defy cultural stereotypes and face struggle head on, embracing it as an art to be mastered. New possibilities emerge, beginning with the awareness that our difficulties are actually a gateway to greater growth and learning.
Great points about adversity. Most of us do everything we can to avoid it instead of considering it part of the normal way of life. I thought your point about blind spots was especially interesting. Looking forward to reading your book and learning more.
Thanks Betsy. Transitions are always hard, especially the type you are describing. When we shed old, outdated assumptions, we make space for new ideas that are better suited to our current realities and role.
I recommend the way Barry Johnson and Polarity Partners use polarity mapping to illuminate blind spots related to opposite views since often our blind spots reflect an accurate but incomplete view. Enjoyed your post and all the good reminders it contained.
I propose a slightly different take in the book, which I call Tension Maps. Episodes of Leadership Struggle can be mapped into four tension points, which can be represented graphically as a Tension Map. An understanding of these tension points, as well as the overall tension map, can help a leader navigate through challenging situations.
Great post! Adversity and struggle are just natural parts of life. No matter what position you hold or what career choice you make, you will face struggle in one form or another at some point in your life. That being said, I really like the points you brought out for overcoming struggle. I think it is also important to decide how important something is from the very beginning. Decide how determined you will be from the very beginning so that you know how hard you will work to accomplish your goal. If you decide to be completely determined to a cause, you will not waver when you face adversity. On the other hand, if you are not as determined, you may be willing to change your course when adversity comes.
When I was a high school wrestler I had a defining moment when I had to decide how committed I would be. I could either put forth mediocre effort and be a mediocre wrestler or I could give it all my effort and know that I did my best. I decided to work as hard as I could and put forth all my effort. That decision changed the rest of my wrestling career and had an impact on the person I am today.
As an entrepreneur, it often seems like the only constants in life are the challenges standing between you and your goals. These obstacles are things to be dreaded, leading only lead to stress, anxiety and self-doubt. At least, that's what we're conditioned to think, but it doesn't have to be the case.
History is littered with examples of people who have managed to overcome and thrive on the struggles they experience. Why is it that a select few seem to succeed where the rest of us fail time and time again? The answer lies in a thought expressed by a Roman emperor 1,800 years ago.
Simply put, the struggles we face offer us a path to growth and success. It's a counter-intuitive concept to be sure, but it is perhaps the single most important concept that any entrepreneur can learn: how to embrace challenges.
This sort of mindset was first introduced to by a successful relative. In his first leadership role, he found himself routinely frustrated and discouraged by the problems that seemed to constantly pop up. Expensive equipment frequently failed, employees caused problems and clients were always upset about one thing or another. He felt that he had a chance to be successful in his new role, but only if he could catch a break from all of the bad luck that seemed to come his way. After one particularly challenging period, however, he had an epiphany. He realized that the challenges he faced weren't bad luck after all. Instead, they were opportunities for him to prove himself and attain the success he sought. His entire mentality changed that day. Instead of dreading problems, he began to actively seek them out. "Where's the next problem?" became his personal mantra, and it became the basis for his entire business philosophy.
The temptation to despair or blame others for things is often strong, but it can be overcome. The simple truth is that in any given situation, the only thing that you truly have control over is yourself. As difficult as it may seem, you always have the choice to recognize the obstacle for what it is, find something positive, and work like hell to push through it.
My own personal journey to this realization was not an easy one. As far back as I can remember, I've been prone to anxiety and worry. The prospect of the unknown or uncontrollable petrified me and prevented me from taking action. I always admired people who could keep their cool in the worst of situations, turning challenges into opportunities and emerging stronger than before. For the longest time, I thought that this was something innate: You were either born with it or not. The truth, of course, is that this grit is a learned behavior that can be refined over time.
My lesson in developing grit started shortly after I graduated college. I took a job at a business valuation consultancy that had a unique corporate culture. By unique, of course, I mean toxic and frequently horrifying. It was, without a doubt, the most challenging time in my life. Every time I made an error or was belittled by partners, a part of me wanted to run. The temptation to quit was strong, but I forced myself to endure. I would leave the company, but only on my terms. I resolved to handle every insult, threat and stress that could be thrown at me with grit and determination. No one would control how I felt or responded. It wasn't easy, and I often fell short of my own expectations, but I didn't give up. I pushed myself more and more, and managed to stick it out long enough to gain skills that would serve me well in the future.
The only way to nurture grit and capitalize on the opportunities that challenges offer is to demonstrate an unshakable will to thrive. That's really all there is to it. It's both the easiest and most difficult thing in the world. You simply have to want it badly enough to constantly push forward. Will you fail at times? Absolutely. Will it be easy? Never. The only thing you can do is keep at it.
The challenges and problems we face in our lives represent the roadmap to greatness. Whether we choose to follow that map is up to us. There is no secret formula for success. The only thing you need is the will to confront your struggles, the desire to find the joy in even the darkest times, and the determination to keep moving forward no matter what.
Embrace the Struggle - The Cameron Hanes EffectLast week, I put together my list of my top 10 runner Instagram accounts to help you find the motivation to get out and run when the odds may be stacked against you. Number one on that list was Cameron Hanes which may seem odd considering he's most popularly known for his bowhunting achievements, but he's also taken to ultrarunning as a means to train for his extreme back-country hunting treks.
I attribute a lot of my success in 2017 to his mantra "nobody cares, work harder." Whatever obstacle you're facing, don't waste energy complaining about it, work harder to find a way to embrace the struggle and overcome it.
What inspired me to choose Hanes as my number one pick was the fact that he's seemingly unstoppable. He's got a hand in so many different projects and hobbies but manages to keep up with them all. His Instagram feed is packed with plenty of inspiration but also plenty of content that reminds you that he's just a normal guy, albeit with unbelievable ambition and drive.
Leading up to the Moab 240 he was running a marathon every day to train while still working his regular job. He's a pure example of someone fighting every day to reach their fullest potential, and once he's reached it, I guarantee he'll find a way to push even further.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm in no way suggesting everyone do as much as Cameron Hanes does, but I think if you can work to emulate even a fraction of his drive and his work ethic, you'll see immediate improvements in all of your endeavors.
I think this is especially important to remember now as the winter months make it even more difficult to keep up with your running goals. With travel, bad weather, and holiday plans, it's easy to push your workout routines and training plans to the back burner, making it even harder to pick up again in the new year. 152ee80cbc
