Keep pushing through obstacles and setbacks from "summary" of You Are a Badass at Making Money by Jen Sincero
When you commit to making money – really commit – obstacles and setbacks are going to show up. It’s just the way it goes. It’s like when you decide to go on a diet and all of a sudden every bakery in town starts sending you free samples of their most delicious pastries.
