The quote I thought I understood

Mar 22, 2025 10:27 pm

Hi ,


The first time I heard it from my mentor, I thought I got it.


“Entrepreneurship is not about waiting to see what happens. It’s about making what you see happen.”


It made sense.


It sounded smart.


I even wrote it down.


But I didn’t live it.


I kept saying yes to too many things.

Chasing shiny ideas.


Letting the loudest thing in front of me steal my focus.


I was busy—constantly moving—but I didn’t have much to show for it.


Overwhelm and frustration became the norm.

And still, I thought I understood the quote.


Then one day, I found the note where I had written it down.

Same words.

But this time, they hit different.


I sat with it.

Pondered it.

And slowly, started doing things differently.


I stopped defaulting to “yes.”

I chose my projects more deliberately.


And most importantly—I started finishing what I started.


The result?

Momentum.

Clarity.


Launched offers instead of lingering ideas.


That quote finally became real to me.


So I’ll leave you with this:

Look at what you're working on right now.

Are you waiting to see what happens?

Or are you making what you see happen?


If you want a second set of eyes or a sounding board, reply and tell me what you’re working on.


Happy to share some thoughts.


Relentlessly dedicated to your profitability,
