Ep. #10- Karina Birch

My interview with Karina Birch helped me gain some clarity on a belief I’ve held for a while now, and I believe it to be one of the most foundational parts of the 6AM Mindset. That being the principle of long term organic growth. Karina mentioned that young entrepreneurs often fall victim to a short term, instant gratification mindset when starting their own company. They expect everything to happen quickly, and they consider it a failure way too soon if it doesn’t “take off right away.” As Karina asks in the interview "If you want to grow at an accelerated rate, at what point do you become the limiting factor to growth?" 

​

This reminds me of a quote I heard in a podcast years ago with Tai Lopez. In it, he says “a fence put up fast, falls down fast.” And if we consider the extra time, the extra grueling effort we put into building a stronger fence, the beauty of the final product lies, and is born FROM that struggle, grueling effort, or extra time. 

​

If we can learn this NOW, then when we’re absolutely grinding, we can find comfort in the midst of that struggle. Now THAT'S using Mindset as a tool.
