Doing what you love is easy, and hairdressers are among the luckiest people because they get to do what they love all day. But most of us wish for more; more success, more money, more respect, more publicity, more notoriety.

To get more you need to put in the real work and often that means getting better at the things that you aren’t good at or don’t enjoy as much. It involves tackling challenges rather than shying away from them, and taking risk when you are afraid and unsure.

Achieving mediocrity is easy, achieving something great is hard, but you’ll find it far more rewarding once you overcome your challenges.
