You will never be ready.

Are you ready?
No.
You can't be ready for this type of fall. You can't be ready for this type of work, and worth, and worry. You can't be ready for the toll it will take. You can't be ready for the price you will pay. The heights are too high to imagine, and the lows are too distant to dream. The road is much longer than you picture, and the cuts are much deeper than you conceive. Nothing prepares you for the sacrifice and struggle and suffering.
Are you ready? Hell no.
But are you WILLING?
Yes.
Willing, through every crash, curve or challenge. Willing, through the ugliness of the unknown. Willing to learn. Willing to lose. Willing to fight. Willing to clutch your passion and cradle your vision and never let either of them go.
Whether you're an entrepreneur trapped in the confines of your corporate cubicle, an executive contemplating your next bold move, or a student searching for your most soulful calling, you will never be ready to make the jump. But if you're willing - no conditions or excuses or bullshit - then it's time to take the leap.
Are you willing?
Hell yeah.
And that will - your will - is what will carry you.
Kash.
