Description

Ever started something, didn’t see instant success, and immediately felt like a failure? You’re not alone. In this episode, we dive into why our high expectations can sabotage our progress before we’ve even started, and how our ego plays a big role in quitting too soon. You’ll hear real stories from first-time entrepreneurs, backpackers and creators who expected overnight success… and what happened when reality didn’t match the movie in their heads.

We’ll break down:

  • How ego turns slow progress into an identity crisis
  • The difference between ambition and expectation (and why it matters)
  • Practical ways to adjust your expectations without lowering your goals

If you’ve ever felt frustrated by slow growth, this episode will help you reframe your results, stay in the game longer, and actually reach the big goals you care about.
