Commit and Then When Tired, Recommit

Once I hit a certain revenue number, enough to cover rent, as crazy as that sounds, some part of me slowed down. I had feverishly been working because I couldn't afford not to. I would have had to get a job if we didn't hit a certain revenue number (or take capital).

I was tempted to take it easy, after that. To “4 hour workweek” my company, and then focus on what I wanted to do next (write a book about the Odettians!).

An Odettian said to me

“Just today I was discussing with my family that we all ask for things and once we have them in our hands, we don’t give them the importance they deserve. You are an inspiration to me especially seeing you valuing something you desired so much and working tirelessly to make it great. Once you have what you want, you not only ought to protect it but also nurture it, go to great extent to make it what you once wanted it to be ❤️”

In fact, I had forgotten this simple rule of valuing what you have, and she reminded me not only to do that, but also that we have just started. So much left to do, and so I eagerly recommitted more committed than ever.
