Don't Be a Slave to the Instant Validation Monkey
I often say to people .. be prepared .. this will likely take a lot longer than you think .. and part of the intention for the Passion Business Podcast is to demonstrate that through the stories my guests share
.. and everybody agrees, in theory everybody knows it .. until .. they've written 3 posts on LinkedIn with little engagement and wonder whether they should go on because “it's just not working”
So .. How much effort are you prepared to put into your business before you expect a return in the form of some type of recognition?
How long before you feel disappointed and discouraged when you don't get the support or validation you hoped for?
You can't see around corners!
Most of my guests on the Passion Business Podcast share how they started in one direction and then something happened, they met someone or learned something that put them onto an entirely different path.
So I want to remind you that you won’t be able to see the entire path ahead of you.
