There’s a long road ahead of you. If only that you knew. The people who’ve come before you, have trod this road too.
They can look back fondly, and remember with a grin. Those moments that for you are only to begin.
There’s a long road ahead of you. Try and avoid it as you might. If you listen they will tell you. It isn’t worth the fight.
The road is long and winding. Filled with potholes and the like. When daylight is dying. You’ll know that they were right.
There’s a long road ahead of you. The message is tried and true. For you see it’s not about you. But what you can help others through.
Form your tribe around you. Fight to keep them close. For when your doubts assail you. That’s when you need them most.
There’s a long road ahead of you. If only that you knew. This road is set before you. To test if your intent is true.
To the long road ahead. With its potholes and winding curves. Where others have fought and bled. With a passion just like yours.
To the long road ahead. A thin black line in a vast empty space. A place best traveled while being led. By friends who’ll keep you in the race.
Some days you are ahead of the pack. Others your in last place. Find those who have what you lack. If you’re to win this race.
The Long Road Ahead by Jeff Olsen
The road to becoming a successful entrepreneur is a long one. It is measured in decades not days. I wrote this poem to commemorate all of the friends that I have made, and to acknowledge that although I have come far I still have a far way yet to go. I hope this poem inspires you to take the journey and find your friends along the way.
Thank you,
Jeff
