Summary
Instant gratification is great and all, but what if we told you that it might be the reason you’re not reaching your goals? Choosing the easy path in business (and in your personal life) can set you up for failure. What your brain sees as the easy choice: putting off reaching out to new leads, taking a nap instead of hitting the gym, or simply ignoring your inbox; results in getting nothing done, and you’re just left feeling frustrated and defeated.
Kristen is here this week to shake things up a bit by explaining why what you THINK is easy is actually hard and what you see as hard is actually easy. It’s what she’s termed the easy/hard paradox, and it could be the key to setting you on the path to success.
Listen in as she goes over these key points:
- When choosing what is easy turns into hard
- How deferring the hard compounds and creates even harder stuff later
- What really happens when you do the hard stuff today
- How restraint and delayed gratification can create financial freedom
- The day of reckoning that every entrepreneur faces
Of course, it’s hard to get back in the saddle. But choosing the hard stuff now will create an easier path for you later on. Instead of looking for ways to get away with the bare minimum - reevaluate and try to envision how it will affect you one year, two years - even five years down the road. Then you’ll see that delaying those hard decisions will only make it harder for you to get the results you came for.
