Take the Hit and Don’t Get Butt Hurt

Ever hear that quote from Rocky that sometimes makes it’s way around social media? Rocky says, “You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward.”

In an interview with DNAInfo, Barbara Corcoran from Shark Tank takes it one step further:

“And you know what I’ve learned? I’ve learned that the great, great people that succeed are not any better at taking a hit, which you get along the way. I’ve learned that the dividing line between the really great entrepreneurs and those that are not quite as successful is not so much how many hits they take in the gut along the way, but how long they take to feel sorry for themselves.

And let me tell you the great entrepreneurs don’t spend a lot of time feeling sorry for themselves.”
