The Lie About Success No One Tells You
About this episode
You know that myth that once you’ve “made it”, business suddenly feels easy? Yeah, that one.
In this episode, I’m calling it out. I’m getting real about the truth that discomfort doesn’t disappear as you grow - it just changes shape. I’ll share how learning to live with discomfort, rather than trying to buy or plan your way out of it, is actually where the real growth happens.
I’m also sharing a few of my own moments where I’ve mistaken avoidance for strategy, and what helped me build a healthier relationship with the discomfort that comes with growth.
This one’s honest, practical, and hopefully gives you a bit of reassurance that you’re not doing it wrong - you’re just doing it human.
Highlights:
