Success, victory, winning is found in consistently doing the things you don’t want to do.
Think about it…

For me it’s video. I hate doing video, but it brings a lot of people to the site so it has to be done.
People don’t like answering emails or writing long books or getting up early. They don’t like training hard or training every day. They don’t like staying late at work. They don’t like not buying stuff. They hate saving.
People don’t like to persist.

Unless you’re a complete goof, you can’t help but learning things along the way if you persist.
Please, think about this…

Do it.
Do it every day.
It may be bookkeeping. I hate bookkeeping, but if I’m to know what’s coming in, what’s working, what’s not working, and how the business is evolving, it has to be done.
