I've got a story for you. Met a guy today becoming a cardiothoracic surgeon with 20 YEARS of education and training, working 100+ hour weeks for like $14 an hour. It blew my mind and got me thinking hard about PATIENCE. It's a superpower, and the lack of it can absolutely wreck your career and your business. This ties into something my buddy Brett Bartholomew said about the lack of patience in our field. We want success FAST, but true skill and lasting success take time and commitment to the process. I've struggled with this big time.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

  • Patience is a Superpower, Not a Weakness: True, sustainable success takes time. Rushing the process leads to burnout and mistakes. Embrace the long game.
  • Focus on Daily Momentum, Not Overnight Success: The guy becoming a surgeon focuses on getting marginally better every day. That's the key. Small, consistent improvements build unstoppable momentum.
  • Ditch the "Fast Success" Fantasy: What looks like an overnight success is usually years of grinding, learning, and failing. Kelly Starrett didn't build MobilityWOD/The Ready State in a day; it was years of unseen work.

🧠 Pro Tip:

  • Stop complaining and blaming. Focus on what YOU can control: your daily actions, your learning, your commitment to getting a little better each day. That's how you build something real and lasting, not by wishing for shortcuts.
