Summary

The Road Less Traveled: Why Struggle Means You’re on the Right Path If everybody around you is cheering you on, chances are… you’re not playing big enough. The truth is, the journey to greatness isn’t supposed to feel comfortable. It’s filled with resistance, rejection, doubt, and moments of deep loneliness. And as painful as that can feel, those are actually the signs you’re on the right road—the road less traveled, the road to freedom, and the road to becoming the person you were born to be.In this episode, I break down what it really looks like to pursue success—not the highlight reel you see on social media, but the real, gritty, lonely process that comes with choosing to live differently. I share why feelings like fear, anxiety, rejection, and even isolation are not signs you’re failing, but green lights that you’re moving in the right direction. When you feel like giving up, when the yield signs in life tempt you to take the easy path, that’s the exact moment you have to decide: I will not yield.I also tell one of the most powerful stories from my own life—how years of setbacks, rejection, and persistence led to a miracle I never saw coming: helping my sister regain her vision. That moment reminded me that staying the course on the road less traveled doesn’t just change your life—it creates ripple effects you can’t even imagine for the people you love.This conversation is about more than chasing your dreams. It’s about recognizing that the pain, doubt, and struggle you’re experiencing are proof that you’re in the right place. And if you stay on that road—committed, serving others, and refusing to yield—you will not only achieve your dreams, but unlock blessings and opportunities far beyond anything you could picture today.Key Takeaways: • Why rejection, fear, and isolation are actually signs you’re on the right road• The difference between the crowded, comfortable path and the road less traveled• Why commitment creates freedom—not bondage—in your life• The role of service in lighting the path when the road feels dark• A powerful personal story of how persistence led to a miracle for my sister• How staying the course opens doors to dreams you can’t even imagine yetYou were born for something great. Don’t yield. Stay on the road less traveled—because that’s where the miracles live.

And the things you should expect if you're going to choose the road less traveled. I was reading a couple lines from The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. It's a great poem. If you've not read it, you should. But he says, two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled. And I think if you're going to pursue success in your life, you have to decide you're going to be on a road that most people are not on. And a lot comes with taking that road. And I think, you know, a lot of times success is glamorized on social media right now. It looks like it's about Lamborghinis and private jets and, you know, great dinners and amazing stuff like that. But the truth is the journey to success, especially as an entrepreneur or even as an athlete or in really any endeavor

can be a very painful journey and you can feel very alone. And it's designed that way. And so

That's the road to success. And you're not going to see a lot of people there. And then there's going to be a few times you're going to hit a yield sign. and everything in you is going to tempt you to yield
