Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the growth occurs while you’re climbing it.

No pain, no gain! It's necessary to suffer or work hard in order to succeed 💪

I think one of the biggest lessons I've learned this year is to enjoy the ride, while trying to reach to highest peak. So, my thought are that the ride is way more important than the final outcome, because all the takeaways and learnings come from the ride. I am curious to find out more on this topic.

It is about the journey! And the more you climb, the more you will realize that the place you thought of as being the top is just another step towards a whole new peak. And this applies to all areas.

It's the journey that teaches you about the destination.

I'm in for the game when the sea meets the mountain. 🤘

Deep! 😎

Give me the climb, never the summit.

Makes a lot of sense!

You don't need growth when you own the mountain. ✅

Build your own mountain, guys! 🚀

Let's all club together and rent a helicopter 🚁 😉

I'm ok with that, but sometimes you start on top of the mountain. Then it's tough to maintain there. More often than not, a rolling ball will follow.

Who can disagree with that?

Even though all the growth does happen while climbing, I think it's ok not to like it. It's painful, frustrating, and challenging. You go through the hustle FOR the top of the mountain, and with it in mind. It's ok not to like it - as long as you keep climbing... because when you get to the top, it will be worth it.

We live in the age of speed, we don't have any patience of any sort. Because of that, nobody has any respect for work and nobody wants to put the hours in... Everybody wants to be famous, to be successful, to be rich, but nobody wants to do any work in that direction. If somebody does any research into what it takes to be successful, they say "it's too much work, there has to be an easier way". The problem is that everyone promotes how's the view from the top but nobody show what it takes to get there...

I agree in theory, but we haven't made it to the top of the mountain yet. So it's tough to know what goes on up there. 😅 Of course I'm being half-serious here. If you continue to set more ambitious goals, you'll keep finding new mountains to climb!

No pain no gain 💪

Mostly agreed, but a bit tricky in that what people look for in startups is the financial upside lol. - from an ex-investor POV.
