Stop Whining. Start Working.

By Joe Templin · June 9, 2026 · 1 min read

“Do not whine. Do not complain. Work harder.” Joan Didion

My one kid stole my sweatshirt from the performance gym I trained at when I was doing hardcore
competitive ultradistance running. On the back it says “Nobody cares. Work harder.”

Stop complaining. Get to work.

Put together the feeder list.

Practice your language.

Stop complaining about not having anybody to call and go get more people to call.

There are literally 200+m Americans that want what you can give them. They want to talk to you.

Want more money? Go make it.

Roll up your sleeves and pick up the phone and call them.

Get introduced to them.

Stop whining, start working.
