Memorable Quotes
- “Most worthwhile things are harder and take longer than we think they should… They’re really costly, and often painful, and always testing the limits of our patience.”
- “These experiences of resistance strengthen the architecture of our character enough to hold the weight of success. Sustainable success demands maturity.”
- “The hardest problems—the ones that make us want to throw in the towel—are often the exact reason we’re in the room.”
- “If you could dare to believe it, problems aren’t a bug, they’re a feature—a feature that grows us up.”
- “You can’t wait until you’ve arrived to start living fully. You have to build the life you want as you go.”
- “The process of becoming is the best part of being human. That sense of reaching for more, of fulfilling our potential, of growing into the kinds of people our younger selves would admire—that’s the heart of a life well-lived.”
Key Takeaways
- Less is More. Growth requires focus and patience. Overextending leads to burnout, but prioritizing what truly matters ensures lasting impact.
- Problems Aren’t Problems. They’re not signs of failure but invitations to grow stronger and wiser. Accept them as part of the process.
- Keep On Going. Success takes time, persistence, and maturity. Stay committed to the journey, even when it’s hard.
- Remember What Matters. True fulfillment comes from balancing professional achievements with a thriving personal life.

| 0:00.0 | The experience of resistance strengthens the architecture of our character enough to hold |
| 0:08.7 | the weight of our success. Sustainable success demands maturity. It's not about how high you can |
| 0:16.5 | build. It's about how deep you can dig the foundation. |
| 0:25.7 | Hi, I'm Michael Hyatt. And I'm Megan Hyatt Miller. And you're listening to The Double Wind Show. |
| 0:33.0 | Well, hello, everyone. It's Megan Hyatt Miller from The Double Wind Show. And today we have a special episode. This is going to be a little bit different than our normal show because this is a recording |
| 0:38.1 | of a keynote that I recently gave to a group of coaches about leadership lessons that I've been |
| 0:44.9 | learning in my tenure as CEO. I became the CEO of full focus in January of 2021. So I have several |
| 0:51.6 | years now under my belt. And what I really talk about in this episode, in this keynote that I gave is the assumptions |
| 1:00.9 | that I had about how life and success and business worked and how those were challenged |
| 1:06.8 | by many things that I encountered. |
| 1:09.7 | And what I learned along the way, I think that we all step into |
| 1:13.8 | situations thinking we know what it's going to take to be successful. And then in reality, |
| 1:18.2 | it's like marriage or parenting or starting a business or going back to school or anything like |
| 1:23.4 | that, it's always different. And, you know, honestly, the lessons that I feel like I've learned |
| 1:28.7 | have been more valuable than the ones that I kind of went in thinking were the case. So |
| 1:34.9 | you're also going to get to hear the very kind introduction of our good friend, Don Miller. This was |
| 1:41.6 | the business-made simple annual event that they do. It was in downtown |
| 1:46.1 | Nashville. And he gave just the greatest introduction I've ever had. So hopefully, like one or two |
| 1:53.1 | things that he said are true. But anyway, thanks so much for taking the time to listen and just know |
| 1:59.6 | that we are also going to be taking some time off for Christmas |
| 2:02.2 | and New Year's. We have something we call the Winter Week of Rest here at Full Focus. So we are not only |
| 2:08.2 | committed to you getting the double win, winning at work and succeeding in life, but also our team. |
