213. I hate myself


Listen Later

I hate myself. 


Probably the last thing that you would have expected to read from me. 


But it’s the truth. 


I’ve loved being in business & achieving the success I have achieved thus far. 


The reality however, is that success has made me weak & ultimately become someone that I’m not happy with. 


The truth about winning in business is that it puts you at risk of going backwards on an individual level.


Sounds confusing right?


You may be thinking how on earth can you go backwards if you achieve great heights with your business?


It’s quite simple.


The more successful you become, the less you actually have to do.


In my case, I went from doing pretty much absolutely everything in the business, to not having to do much anymore. 


This has then opened the doors to laziness with next to no consequences. 


I can afford to take an extra few hours in bed. 


I can afford to skip the gym for the day. 


I can afford to take the day off because I ‘feel’ like it.


Now I can do all of these things with no repercussions whatsoever because of the work that I have put in to create my business the way it has been created. 


But it has simply put me in a position where I dislike who I am. 


I loved the version of myself where I was firing on all cylinders & I despise the version of myself that can afford to miss a few things, even though I have earnt the luxury of doing so. 


This is something that every entrepreneur should be wary of when they start their business. 


They think that the journey to success is the worst part, when in reality it is the best part. 


You are literally evolving into the best version of yourself, day in & day out. 


Success itself is actually the least satisfying part & you don’t even realize it. 


It only hits you once you get a taste of what it’s like to not have to do as much.


That’s the trap door that opens when you finally land on success, as it can lead to significant personal dissatisfaction. 


In this video, I’m going to be sharing in more detail how & why I view myself the way I do, in order to help you understand that with success, there can come a dissatisfaction in who you end up becoming. 


I hope you find it helpful. If you do, consider subscribing :)


Thanks,

Charlie
