Description

When I first started, I thought business ownership meant complete freedom to wake up whenever and work however I pleased.

But here's the truth: successful businesses require the same dedication as professional artists or athletes.

You need to create your own structure, follow your schedule religiously, and understand that skill development takes time.

Just like you can't expect to run a marathon after one day of training, you can't expect immediate business success. It's about consistent practice and accepting that lag time between starting and seeing results.

If you’re interested in working with a group, I run a membership community of joyfully productive business "athletes" :) called JoyPro: https://www.georgekao.com/joypro
