Summary
If you're feeling like no matter what you do, you're not moving towards your goals as quickly as you'd like, there's one question that you need to ask yourself: Who did you have to become in order to create those results? In a world that's obsessed with the idea of 'the overnight success story' (which, spoiler alert, doesn't actually exist), what if you committed to doing whatever it takes for as long as it takes to get the results that you desire? I want you to observe and be in the same rooms as the people that you want to emulate, and start showing up like they do. This mindset shift has been the number one thing that has gotten me to where I am today with Powerhouse Women, and I know it will get you to where you want to be with your big dream, too.
In this episode we talk about:
- What we typically focus on when we're not seeing results
- Recognizing that there are alot of mistakes, breakdowns, and challenges that happen behind the scenes, even for the most successful people
- Translating your skills into new areas
- A sneak peek into the theme of my next book
- My challenge to all of my listeners (and myself!)

| 0:00.0 | If you are someone who is starting a business that's totally out of the realm of something |
| 0:05.4 | you've done before or you are completely pivoting into a new season of your business |
| 0:11.4 | that's requiring different skills of you, then it's going to feel oftentimes like it takes |
| 0:17.2 | longer. Welcome to Powerhouse Women, the podcast for women who know they are ready for more. |
| 0:26.5 | I'm Lindsay Schwartz, your host and the founder of Powerhouse Women. |
| 0:30.0 | And together we'll unlock the confidence and clarity you are looking for to help you get out of your own way and into action around your next big |
| 0:40.4 | idea. |
| 0:49.8 | Today we're going to talk about the myth of the overnight success story. I know you've probably |
| 0:57.1 | been just as guilty as I have of looking at someone else's journey and seeing what appears to be |
| 1:04.7 | overnight results, very, very huge results in a very short period of time. And what we can tend to believe in that |
| 1:13.9 | moment is that there's something wrong with us, that we're doing something wrong, that we're not |
| 1:18.5 | enough, that we're not going to make it, because our journey isn't progressing as quickly. |
| 1:23.7 | Well, let me tell you from someone who has felt as though their journey has taken far longer than I ever imagined it would, the lesson I've learned on the other side is that, number one, there is really no such thing as overnight success. I'm going to explain why. But also, I think we're focusing on the wrong thing when we are thinking that our |
| 1:48.7 | results should happen quicker than they're currently happening. So we were diving into this conversation |
| 1:55.1 | on one of our recent Girl Gang calls. And this is our membership community. If you aren't already a |
| 2:00.4 | part of it, shout out to the |
| 2:01.9 | girl gang. This is the most supportive, encouraging corner of the internet. We share tips, |
| 2:07.4 | resources, answer questions. We have some seriously deep conversations within this group. And I was |
| 2:13.6 | talking about some of the mindset shifts that I had to make in order to reach my very first |
| 2:19.4 | six figures in business. So the first year that I made $100,000 in revenue or more. And it had me |
| 2:27.2 | really reflect back on the journey that I've taken in order to get here. Now, for those of you that don't know the story of |
| 2:35.3 | Powerhouse Women, Powerhouse Women was founded just a little over five years ago. And now we |
