Every significant thing in your life will come with trade-offs. There is always a sacrifice to be made in one area of your life in order to further another.
The question is: Are you willing to make the sacrifices it takes?
The trade-offs you’re willing or unwilling to make will determine everything about your professional and personal success. You just have to decide. Decide what you’re committed to—and what you’re committed to do to make it happen.
To *really* get what you want, you have to commit and go *all in*. It often means doing things in living in ways that look different than those around you, and pulling things back in spending, luxuries, fun things you’d like to do, vacations, or time—to really slingshot ahead in the future.
Partial effort? Unmade sacrifice? Abandoned commitments? They lead to partial results, unmade success, and an abandoned journey.
You want it all? Give your all.
Start today.
1. Success is being happy with where and who you are.

3. Get committed and cut down on excess steps.
