The Forrest Gump Mindset: Why I Keep Going (Even When It Sucks)
Some days, building a business feels impossible.
You scroll online and it looks like everyone’s winning.
Followers. Clients. Wins. More wins.
Meanwhile, you’re stuck.
Trying to make the math work.
Wondering if anyone would even notice if you stopped.
I know that feeling because I’ve lived in it… for years.
There were months where I didn’t get a single client.
Videos nobody watched.
Offers nobody bought.
And the worst part — I didn’t know if any of this would ever pay off.
I wish I could tell you I had some secret mindset hack that kept me going.
But truth is?
Most days, I still want to quit.
The only difference is… I don’t.
Not because I’m brave. Not because I’m smarter.
But because I adopted what I call the Forrest Gump Mindset.
You know the scene where Forrest just starts running?
He doesn’t ask if it’s a good idea.
He doesn’t care who’s watching.
He’s not optimizing anything.
He just runs.
And that’s how I show up now.
Not because it’s easy. But because quitting just isn’t an option anymore.
This game takes longer than most people think.
But the people who win? They just keep going.
Even when it’s boring.
Even when it sucks.
Even when nothing seems to be working.
So if you’re in the trenches right now…
If it feels like no one notices…
If you’re tired of being the underdog…
Just remember: you’re not alone.
Try being a little more like Forrest.
Focus on the next step.
Then the next one after that.
Eventually… you’ll look up and realize how far you’ve come.
