What’s your million?
A million anything can be impressive—or insignificant—depending on the context.
A million breaths keep us alive for a little over a month.
A million stars is barely a fraction of our galaxy.
Elon Musk's net worth is $400 billion which is 400 thousand millions.
A million can mean everything or nothing, depending on how you look at it.
For me, surpassing one million downloads felt impossible—until it wasn’t.
In this episode, I dive into what chasing your million really means:
• The parallel between success and sacrifice: are we willing to endure what it takes to achieve the big goals we dream about?
• Why consistency matters more than perfection—starting and showing up creates more opportunities for success than stopping or never starting at all.
• How what feels small today can snowball into something vast if you just keep going.
The truth is, whatever your million represents—whether it’s a business, a dream, or a vision—it’s going to demand something from you. Success always runs parallel with suffering, discomfort, and hard choices. The question is: are you willing to do the work and make the sacrifices to get there?
A million downloads didn’t happen because I planned it perfectly—it happened because I started.
I kept going. I stayed in motion.
If you’re chasing your own version of a million, remember this: starting matters. Staying consistent matters. It puts you in the game and gives you a shot at something bigger than you ever thought possible.
What’s your million?
And are you willing to chase it?
Press play. Let’s talk about it.
