The Real Reason You're Stuck (for real)

For my birthday, I gave myself a gift: I went into the desert.

It’s the one place that always gives me perspective.

First—because it reminds me that everything ends in dust. None of our problems really matters.

Second—because it mirrors the path of the entrepreneur: long, uncertain, and brutally quiet when you’re not getting results.

No likes.

No leads.

No wins.

Just you and your thoughts. Alone in the heat.

That’s what it feels like when you’re stuck in the middle of building something, and there’s no visible sign of progress. Most people quit there.

But here’s why that happens:

We obsess over big goals—freedom, [insert number of dollars] per month, full-time travel—but we forget the middle steps. We ignore the micro-wins that actually get us there.

That’s the real killer. It’s not failure.

It’s walking through the desert without water—no hydration, no feedback, no signs of life.

The solution is in defining your intermediary goals.

Not just the finish line. But the hydration points along the way.

The Fast Feedback Loops.

The small wins that keep you moving with purpose.

See you in the trenches,
