Take the Money and

Take the money and run.

Or better yet, run, then take the money, so that you’re certain everyone is happy with your running before you get paid for it.

Because there’s nothing wrong with being an amateur—we’re all amateurs at most things in our lives—there’s that one domain in which we must transcend our beginnings and become professionals. And professionals get paid for their work. 

Maybe not at first, maybe not all the time. 

But whether it’s running, painting, writing, founding, whatever-ing your heart just couldn’t live without-ing—

We show up every day. We clock in. We clock out. We take the money. 

(running not always required).

Thank you. Let’s have a great day.
