Don't Get Distracted From Your Long Term Goals By Quick Hits of Pleasure

The cliche of "it's a marathon, not a sprint" is a cliche because it is true. To have longevity and more importantly to really have your work resonate and stand the test of time, it'll take time and patience. That's hard and there are things in life that offer us short term pleasure. On the surface they are not insidious things, but they become so when they start to really distract you and take you away from those long term goals. Steven Pressfield calls those things shadow careers. Don't fall into those traps. That's what I discuss in this episode. One example I bring up refers back to an episode I did with Elaine Pofeldt which you can check out here: https://youtu.be/u67GstpnMjI.
