If you don't figure this ONE THING out, pursuing your dream is going to be a real struggle.

Pursuing your dream will be riddled with much more sacrifice than sexiness. That's okay. That's how it's supposed to be.

Yet, when you're sacrificing for a "must", for a "have-to", for something you can not, NOT do, the sacrifice doesn't feel sacrificial at all. Actually the sacrifice is a little sexy because the sacrifice is freeing you up. The sacrifice is purposeful. 

So what are your "have-to's?" What is something you can not, not do? This is the necessary "why" you need to find when pursuing your dream.

Listen more in today's episode. Also hear more about the purposeful sacrifices my wife and I made in our lives because we had a vision for something greater. One of those sacrifices? Sleeping in a closet. 

Also you can read more about all of this is my new book 25 Lies Twentysomething Need to Stop Believing.
