Ep. 258 - The Hidden Costs of Success [A lesson from James Clear]

The Unapologetic Entrepreneur

James Clear shared something in one of his emails that hit me like a ton of bricks and it might be the wake up call you need too. "The results of success are usually public and highly visible, but the process behind success is often private and hidden from view. It’s easy to want the public rewards, but also you have to want the hidden costs.” - James Clear
In this episode I'm digging into this to help you ask yourself the hard question: am I capable and willing to put in the effort required to achieve this goal?". I share examples of what this can mean for you and I emphasis that it's okay (more than okay actually!) if the answer is "no". You can change your goal when needed! If you can be honest about what effort is needed and if that's something we can commit to, you're more likely to hit your goal with ease and more fun along the way. Let's dig into James' thoughtful words and allow them to help you set and achieve your goals.
Takeaways
Pubic results are fun and exciting but don't forget about the hidden costs and sacrifices that have to be made to achieve the goal.
Being honest with yourself about what you're capable and willing to do in this season of life will set you up for success.
Goals can be adjusted! Adjust if needed and don't be afraid to seek support along the way.
