When you don’t have a football, no one cares about you.
When you’re holding the football in life, everyone will try to tackle you.
When I worked in a large organization, every time I did something successful, I had people trying to tackle me. If I did nothing, no one cared. The minute I did something cool, I made enemies. After I resigned from that organization to start my own company, they still came after me. I was really discouraged by this, until one day I had an epiphany:
If I had left my job, moved into my parent’s basement, and got a job at Subway no one would be trying to tackle me.
Remember these two things:
- Don’t be discouraged when people try to tackle you. They’re only doing it because you have the football.
- Start noticing how the world works. Look at the news. Look at Twitter. Look at Facebook. Who do people post about? One’s with footballs.
Spot on!
