Good morning and welcome to the Increase Your Impact Podcast. I'm Justin Sua, episode 1731.

First of all, if you are wondering why it has taken so long to continue the podcast, we had a little break in the action due to Mother Nature.

Hurricane Ian made its way through Florida, and there was a lot going on last week, a lot of heavy hearts, a lot of damage, a lot of concern.

I live in Florida, for those of you who do not know, and so there was a lot going on.

So thank you for your patience. Thank you for your messages. All as well.

Our home is well. Our family is safe. Our loved ones are okay. A lot of cleaning up to do,

though. I will say that a lot of cleaning up to do. Today, we are talking about the importance

of doing what is necessary. But understanding that necessary doesn't equal

sufficient. So think about the thing you want to achieve, the goals you want to accomplish,

the destination you want to go. Hard work to achieve those things is necessary, but it is not sufficient.

Focus is necessary, but not sufficient. Grit is necessary, but not sufficient. A growth mindset

is necessary, but not sufficient. Discipline is necessary but not sufficient and we can keep going on.

Success does not come from one thing, but a combination of many things over time.

So rather than get enamored with working hard, being focused, grinding, and just doing that one thing,

you're going to have to do those things. It's required. Yes, you can give yourself a pat on the

back, but if you want to achieve greatness, if you want to be great, you, it's part of the process.

So it is necessary, but it is not sufficient. It's a combination of all of those

things over a long period of time. That is why it is important folks on the process and let the

results take care of themselves. It is a long journey. It is. It's supposed to be hard. It's supposed to be difficult. And that's why you signed up for this. Well, you probably didn't sign up for the hard part. It's part. You have to embrace and expect the hard part. And know it's going to be difficult. You're going to have your ups, you're going to have your downs,

but that's the road that leads to whatever you're pursuing.

Have a great day.

Have a great week.
