Success Is On The Other Side Of The Challenges You're Going Through Now


Don't believe the highlight reels you see on social media, Reader.

Yet, even if you don't, you still feel like your progress is too slow, right?

At least that's what it felt like with my podcast before I restarted it this month.

It was a year since I published new episodes, and 4 years since starting it.

I gave up on it for a while.

This is what making your dreams a reality looks like.

  • Days you're inspired.
  • Days you just want to give up.
  • Days you wonder what's the point of it all.

But no matter what, when it comes to going after your dreams, you have to find that little voice in you that whispers:

  • 'Get back up!'
  • 'Just one more step.'
  • 'You can make this work'

It's why I restarted the podcast - to talk about all the BTS stuff you'll never see.

What it takes to go after your dream - the highs, the lows and everything in between.

And of course, that little voice that just won't stop whispering in my ear to get back up.

If you're riding a high wave in your business right now, talk about what it took to get here - inspire us.

If you're feeling low about your dream, know that this is what it takes to make it come true - you're not alone in this.

The success you want is always on the other side of the challenge you're going through now.

As long as you keep getting back up and taking the smallest step in front of you, you're on the right track.

Always cheering you on to go for your dreams!

Reader, 2025 is over. Revenue targets. Client milestones. Growth numbers. Missed them all. Yes, that's me. For a while, I avoided looking at the data because I didn't want to face the disappointment. But then, I realized that the gap between where I am and where I wanted to be isn't failure. It's feedback. In my latest podcast episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what 2025 actually looked like: 5 Unglamorous Lessons from Building a Business While Working Full-Time: 1. It takes WAY longer...

Reader, It's December 31st, and I just reviewed my 2025. Honestly? I didn't hit most of my goals: Revenue target? Nope. Client goals? Fell short. Growth I wanted? Not there yet. And for a moment, I felt disappointed. Like I'd failed somehow. But then, while facilitating my Create 2026 workshop this week, I had a realization: If I were already the sort of person who gets those results, I'd already have them. So the question isn't 'Why did I fail?' The question is: "Who do I need to become?"...

Reader, 2 days ago, our bathroom door lock stopped working. You know that moment when you turn the thumbturn and... nothing? It just spins uselessly. The door won't lock. My first instinct was to call the locksmith. But something I read recently stopped me. If you're on Justin Welsh's Saturday Solopreneur newsletter, you might have seen his recent story about replacing a special lightbulb in his water filtration system. At first glance, it's just a home maintenance story. But the real lesson...
