Obsession, but not the cologne!
A few weeks ago, our team decided to invite some of our local private beta users to come hang out with us. Then that "something amazing" happened. Over 110 people showed up that night to say hi and meet some of the other beta users of our platform. It was AWESOME!! Just about every type of business/professional you could imagine was there. During the two hour event, it got to a point where I could hardly move because so many people were in the room!
Moment after moment, people were coming up to us thanking us for building Trusted Team. Great feedback on the platform and so many are excited! They thanked us for taking a risk and putting it all on the line to help them in their business. They also thanked us for solving one of their core business needs.....referrals! The excitement for Trusted Team was like nothing we have ever experienced. It was humbling and thrilling all at the same time. So cool.
As I was standing there talking, a guy asked me how we were able to work 18-20 hours a day for so long. "Man....you would have to be obsessed to do that", he said. AND THEN......like a trigger being pulled, I fired an INSTANT response! I said to him, "If you don't wake up every day obsessed with solving a problem AND taking action on it, then don't bother doing it! We are obsessed with solving this problem and won't stop until we get it right." It came out of me like I had rehearsed it a million times, yet I had never spoke it with such conviction! Once it left my mouth, I recognized that this "OBSESSION" has been surging throughout our entire team and me, like electricity, the whole time. It drives us to do extraordinary limits!
Now, some wantrepreneurs "just say" they have an OBSESSION.......for those people.....it is more like the cologne! Ya...I admit it.....I wore that cologne in high school!
Our OBSESSION is different. The kind of OBSESSION that drives people to create something awesome. We live it out everyday, have risked everything, and have an amazing team that believes we just might have the right combo of hacker and hustler skills to pull it off! The best part........Our team LOVES every minute of it!!!
So next time someone asks us, our answer will be, "Ya, some might call us crazy, but really, we have an OBSESSION!!"
