You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life, but it ain’t about how hard you hit, it’s about hard you can GET hit, and keep moving forward, how much you can take, and keep moving forward. It’s a very mean, and nasty place, and I don’t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep ya there permanently if you let it. Lemme tell you something you already know: the world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. Then the time come to be your own man, and take on the world, and you did! But somewhere along the line, you changed, you stopped bein’ you, you let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you’re no good, and when things got hard, you started lookin’ for something to blame, like a big shadow.
And you grew up good and wonderful and it was great just to watch you everyday - it was like a privilege. This kid is gonna be somebody better than anybody ever knew. I’d hold you up, to say to your mother, this kid is gonna be the best kid in the world. "You ain’t gonna believe this, but you used to fit right here. “That’s how winnin’ is done.Rocky’s son is frustrated from living his life in his dad’s big shadow after a heated rebuke from his son Rocky gives this little speech.

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 the movie Rocky Balboa (Rocky VI), he gives a speech to his son who’s struggling with finding his own identity and success in the world. That one thing…perseverance – steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. It’s what made him successful as a boxer – and yes, I know he’s a fictional character. The list just goes on and on.īut one thing is missing from my list – and maybe yours. I know I can – clear vision, business plan, marketing plan, metrics, proper positioning in a highly refined niche market, branding, marketing message, growth strategies, solid business structure, etc. I’m guessing you can begin listing a dozen things right off the top of your head.
