How 2 key lessons from Commando training led me to build 7- and 8-figure businesses.
Picture setting a GPS.
You know your start point.
You know your destination.
But the journey? Pure faith in the system.
Only after the last turn, you know for sure you have arrived.
That was me, entering the Commando Course:
Start point:
A civilian going nowhere
Destination:
Special Operations Operator
The route:
Unknown.
Uncertain.
Unforgiving.
Here’s the thing about elite military training:
You don’t know if you’ll make it until the very last moment.
Until then?
You operate on pure confidence and conviction.
Just like building a business:
• Every obstacle tests your resolve
• Every setback questions your path
• Every challenge demands more
But the real transformation?
It happens between your ears.
Two Commando principles that changed everything for me:
EMBRACE UNCERTAINTY
• Progress isn’t guaranteed
• The path will twist and the journey will hurt
• And that’s exactly how it should be
MAINTAIN UNSHAKEABLE CONFIDENCE
• Not in the outcome, but in yourself
• In your capacity to adapt
• In your ability to persist and prevail
These aren’t just military lessons.
They’re life principles.
They carried me through:
• Building 7- and 8-figure businesses
• Taking epic risks
• Living extraordinary adventures
Here is what I know:
The path to anything extraordinary is filled with uncertainty.
But so is the path to mediocrity.
Might as well choose extraordinary. 🤩
Your mission isn’t to eliminate uncertainty.
It’s to thrive within it.
Your task isn’t to know every step.
It’s to trust your ability to take the next one.
Keep moving.
Keep believing.
Keep pushing.
