175: How to Get the Most Out of Everything — Even When Progress Feels Slow

Often, the small goals come easily… but the big ones drag on forever. In this episode, I explore why progress can feel painfully slow when we’re pursuing something that truly matters—and how to stay committed long enough to achieve the breakthrough.
We talk about delayed results, discipline over dopamine, building strengthening habits, and the surprising moment when effort begins to flow without force. I share personal stories, including what happened when my son realized a habit was impacting his cholesterol and made one decisive shift. Real change isn’t instant — but it is possible.
If you’ve been showing up, doing the work, and wondering why it’s taking so long… this conversation may be precisely what you needed today.
Key Topics Inside the Episode
• Why small wins feel easy and big goals feel slow
• What determines whether something manifests quickly or painfully slowly
• How delayed results mess with motivation — and how to outlast that phase
• The hidden breakthrough that comes after discipline, not before
• Why giving up urgency opens the door to right timing
• How transformation becomes effortless once you've done the hard part
