🚀 Entrepreneurs, take note!

"If you want opportunities that not many people get, you need to make choices that not many people make." 🌟

This mantra is the heart of what it means to create a business by design. It takes courage, commitment, and belief. Belief is fostered through action and realised by doing what most people will not. The status quo of being trapped under the entrepreneurial ceiling can be chaotic and overwhelming, but it is familiar. Staying trapped requires little courage; committing to do things differently requires daring.

In the 2022 AFL season, Geelong Football Club exemplified this by making bold choices. As the oldest team to ever play a game in AFL history, they faced criticism for resting key older players throughout the season to have them primed for the finals series. But it worked! Following their Grand Final victory over Sydney, coach Chris Scott said, "It’s a metaphor for life really, if you want to do great things, don’t expect it to be smooth sailing. You’re going to have to shake hands with adversity at some point. If you hang in, with no guarantee that you’ll get the ultimate success, it might be worth it."

The good news? Mustering the courage to be different is not new to you. There was a time when you started or took on a business and backed yourself to follow your dream. Capture that feeling again. What's holding you back now? Would it help if I told you that you had the odds in your favour?

Let's break through the ceiling together! 💪
