Childhood is filled with cliches.

Look at how big you’ve gotten. Because I said so! If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?

Treat others how you want to be treated.

Because I said so!

Not everyone is going to like you.

We all heard it as kids, and yet something about it still seems so….defeating.

I was listening to something by Russell Brunson recently and he said, “if you’re not polarizing, you’re nobody.”

While I don’t think he meant for people to be purposefully offensive, what he did mean is “if you don’t stand for something, you stand for nothing.”

We hesitate in business, because we want everyone to like us.

I’m totally guilty, especially when it comes to this blog. I’ve stayed super vague about who I’m actually writing this for at the risk of leaving women behind.

Sometimes the things that are the most uncomfortable for us are also the things we need to do the most.
