I was told some bad news today that perhaps I took too personal and shouldn't have got upset about but then someone said to me, "you take things too personal", and that really ticked me off.
Of course I take things personal -- I take business personal. I didn't drop all my plans of starting my business in Canada or the notion of going back to Korea to fight for Hulk's for nothing. This, building Empowered, is my passion and it's my passion that I'm fighting to turn into a paycheck because I believe it what it has to offer, I believe in the ripple effect it has the potential to make, and I believe in the impact it'll have. I'm not launching Empowered to make crazy money. Money has never been a driving force in what I do. No one gets rich off of making a boxing club, or a clubhouse as in the case of Empowered. They do it because they love the sport, because they want to build a community and give back to the community by which they helped to make stronger.
So ya, I do take my business personal because it's what I love. I wouldn't fight for anything I didn't love and this clubhouse, Empowered, I'm fighting like hell to launch it and make it successful.
My business is my passion, so my business is my pleasure and my pleasure is my business.
