Sharing my experience of the game

[Ryan Ainslie @RyanAinslie]

“What’s good for the hive is good for the bee.”

[Ryan Ainslie @RyanAinslie]

You know exactly what you need to do

You have the resources to do it

It is only a matter of doing it

So get the fuck after it

[Ryan Ainslie @RyanAinslie]

My mom just had a heart attack.

It’s scary to think how quickly things can change.

Life is so precious

Going to make every moment count

And not take the limited time I have for granted

[Ryan Ainslie @RyanAinslie]

I was wondering why I wasn’t getting more leads

Then I focused on creating and testing a lot of new ads

Problem solved

Volume negates luck

[Ryan Ainslie @RyanAinslie]

When people ask me why I do X,Y, or Z.

I always say it’s for me.

The reason to win the game is to be free of it.

[Ryan Ainslie @RyanAinslie]

You make your bed, you lye in it.

At the end of the day, advice is mostly just people projecting their own experiences.

The more you collect, the more you realize that no one really has a definitive answer—just perspectives shaped by their own luck, timing, and personal choices.

Note to self: Never leave half built bridges

If you’re not going to finish it there’s no point in starting.

[Ryan Ainslie @RyanAinslie]

This is especially important because you are going to spend far more time on the actual journey than with those all too brief moments of triumph at the end.

[Ryan Ainslie @RyanAinslie]

The secret is to show up, do the work, and go home.

A blue collar work ethic married to indomitable will.

It is literally that simple. Nothing interferes.

Nothing can sway you from your purpose.

Once the decision is made, simply refuse to budge.

Refuse to compromise.

[Ryan Ainslie @RyanAinslie]

And accept that quality long-term results require quality long-term focus.

No emotion.

No drama.
No beating yourself up over small bumps in the road.

Learn to enjoy and appreciate the process.

[Ryan Ainslie @RyanAinslie]

I’d rather do work that is needed to be done

If can’t finish because of external forces.

I’d rather not do anything at all.

[Ryan Ainslie @RyanAinslie]

What are your thoughts?

[Ryan Ainslie @RyanAinslie]

Having a stigma around leads response time

Is probably the stupidest thing you could have as a business owner.

I’ll give an example…

[Ryan Ainslie @RyanAinslie]

Of how he doesn’t work with anyone that isn’t quick to respond

This is exactly why small businesses stay small

[Ryan Ainslie @RyanAinslie]

He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.
