Hey everyone and welcome to Business Food Cheek. I'm Kristi Uri and today we are continuing our new

series, Five Ways to Be True to You. Now in part one, we talked about being willing to experiment.

Today, we're building on that. Today, we're talking about part two, which is where I want you to be

willing to work really hard. Now I know this doesn't sound fun, right? Like who needs more to do?

Sounds like the bad news, but I want to reframe that for you. Because hard work, believe it or not,

actually has more unbelievable benefits than you could ever imagine. Let me give you an example.

So many people come up to me either at book signings or just out in public or even in a coaching

call and they say, Kristi, I want to do what you do. I want to be a speaker. I'm like, awesome.

Well, what do you want to say? Who have you spoken to? Who have you talked to? Have you spoken

for your local church? Have you spoken for the local community group or even just a book club or

ministry? No, no, no. I want to speak on like big stages. Like I want to be a professional speaker.

So I'm like, I hear you, but that's where you start. You start by being faithful in the small

things. You start by working hard when no one's watching. You start with the humility of someone that

is willing to do the hard work in the beginning for the payoff. So what areas of your life?

Do you need to work really hard because you're just in a season of getting started? You're just

in a season of the beginnings, those humble beginnings. You know, I'll give you another example.
