“You’ve gotta love the dirt.” -Gary Vaynerchuk
“The dirt is where you start. It’s where you’re built. It’s where you find your initial success. We all start in the dirt on the journey to success, but few are willing to remain there. Few fall in love with the dirt. The day you leave the dirt is the day the clock starts ticking down on your run.” -Sahil Bloom
Before you get the big, bountiful rows of corn, you’ve gotta do a ton of hardscrabble, unfun, thankless, unseen, pick and shovel work. You’ve gotta love the dirt.
Besides the farmer, this applies to any endeavor. Some examples…
The actor: learning lines.
The producer: writing cold (yet thoughtful) emails.
The athlete: getting up early and working out.
The musician: constantly playing scales.
The investor: doing tons of research to find one opportunity.
No dirt. No glory.

We had an adage I learned from corporate training early in my career.
The acronym was “DIRTFT”: Meaning? Do it right the first time” .
If you are too clean you never get positive immunity for your mind and body. A little dirt and dust everyday, keeps you healthy, alive and in action. The more worms the better the soil. Jay
