I just finished watching The Founder for the 3rd time, and WOW talk about a great film! Michael Keaton delivers an awesome performance as Ray Kroc.

Kroc's simple method for success was just one word: Persistence

I think this is absolutely brilliant, given that so many would-be entrepreneurs give up so quickly hoping to skip the process and go straight to the event. Nothing worth having in this life comes easy, and this movie illustrates that perfectly.

It's certainly something to watch to give you a slap of inspiration and reality.

If you want something, if you REALLY want something, you must be persistent, and whatever roadblocks come up, you gotta keep climbing.
