from Side Hustle Pro

In this solo Expansion Era episode, I’m opening up about a turning point in my journey: when I realized my life was running me, not the other way around. I share the step I took to shift that dynamic and the five powerful lessons that continue to guide me today. From building discipline like a muscle, to falling in love with the process, to tracking effort over outcomes, these lessons are helping me reclaim balance, confidence, and control. I’m still in the process myself, but I know these insights can help you start running your life, too.In this episode I share:Why focusing on the muscle you’re building matters more than the resultHow to fall in love with the process and romanticize the mundaneThe importance of tracking the process, not just the outcomesHow to recognize and adjust for your shortcomingsWhy letting go of rigid expectations opens the door to more winsHighlights include:00:00 Intro02:26 Lesson 1: Focus on the muscle, not the results07:12 Lesson 2: Fall in love with the process11:24 Lesson 3: Track the process, not the result16:05 Lesson 4: Adjust for your shortcomings21:16 Lesson 5: Let go of expectations & celebrate small wins25:32 Closing thoughts + invitation to my live classLinks mentioned on this episodeRegister for my free class: https://sidehustlepro.lpages.co/your-first-1000-downloads/Click here to subscribe via RSS feed (non-iTunes feed): http://sidehustlepro.libsyn.com/rssAnnouncementsIf you’re looking for a community of supportive side hustlers who are all working to take our businesses to the next level, join us here: http://sidehustlepro.co/facebookSocial Media InfoSide Hustle Pro – @sidehustlepro#SideHustlePro Hosted on Acast.

Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia )
