I was flying out of Newark Airport. The weather was miserable. It was wet and cold. The ground had puddles and the grass was covered in mud. The clouds were dark.

As the flight took off, the plane shuddered like it too was chilled to the bone.

A few moments later it burst through the clouds. The sun was beaming brightly. The clouds were a beautiful puffy white. The sunlight warmed the passengers through the windows.

I think the darkest days of our entrepreneurial life are the same way – dark, cold, makes you shudder. Almost unbearable.

There is no promise that you’ll break through, but I can promise you this: It is much closer than you think. It’s just a little bit above you. You just need to reach a little bit higher.

When you do burst through, things will be brighter than you ever imagined.

Keep striving, entrepreneur.
