Ep# 124: [Pep Talk] Don’t Rush the Process

I’m an enneagram 3, which means that I’m an achiever, but it also means that I’m very impatient in the process of achievement. To forget that achievement is an actual process is to sign the lease for a permanent residence on an expectation gap. It means that you will be forever disappointed and feeling behind when you fail to acknowledge that achievement actually take time. Achievement takes consistent resilience. Trying to rush the process means that you are choosing a lower quality experience.  The people that you look up to and admire and aspire to be like? The odds are extremely high that the reason they have so much knowledge and influence is because they spent years walking through the muck and showing up when they weren’t where they wanted to be. We have to do the same. It’s the nature of the entrepreneurial beast: we always want more. And that’s a blessing in that it keeps us moving forward, but it’s also the curse that keeps us from the feeling of achievement that we want more than anything. You’re not behind. Don’t rush the process. Keep showing up and it will come with time. www.elizabethhartke.com/podcast/124
