The Middle of the Bar Prep Tunnel

We’re heading into the stage of bar prep that feels like you are in the middle of a long tunnel. When you enter the tunnel at the start of bar prep you know it’s long but the sunlight is behind you and the radio signal still works. Then there’s no more radio signal. You can’t see the entrance behind you or the exit ahead. It’s fine but the tunnel feels really long.

That’s where we are right now. It’s a little uncomfortable and you’re wondering where you are and how much farther you have to go. Just like driving through a tunnel, you keep going forward and all of a sudden, the radio signal comes back and you see the exit. Even though you don’t speed up, you still feel like you burst out of the tunnel to continue down the highway. 

You might be someone who does not like driving through tunnels or gets really uncomfortable when you have to drive through one. But you know what? You do it anyway. You keep your eyes on the road and you drive. Remember this if things feel a little rocky over the next few weeks. You’re not going to hit the breaks or veer off to the side. You’re just in the middle and you will keep moving forward until you reach your destination.
