From Grinding to Growing: Learning to Love the Process (EP. 202)

from The Positivity Hour · host Darshaun Smith

In this episode of The Positivity Hour, I open up about one of the biggest mindset shifts I’ve had in my journey — the difference between grinding just to get by and loving what you do every single day.For a long time, I was deep in that “grind mode” mindset — working nonstop, chasing results, and honestly not enjoying most of the process. Whether it was editing late nights, handling business taxes, or managing clients, I used to see it all as a chore. I thought that was what success looked like — constantly pushing, constantly tired.But over time, something changed. I realized that real success isn’t just about the results — it’s about how you feel while getting there. These days, I genuinely love every part of what I do. From planning shoots to designing content to even doing the behind-the-scenes stuff most people dread — I see it all as part of the lifestyle I’ve built.In this episode, I share personal stories and lessons I’ve learned along the way, breaking down what it means to truly enjoy your process instead of fighting against it. If you’ve ever felt burned out or disconnected from your goals, this conversation might help you fall back in love with your work — and remind you why you started in the first place.🎧 Tune in to The Positivity Hour for your weekly dose of truth, inspiration, and energy to stay on your grind and finish strong.TIME STAMPS:0:00 INTRO0:41 WELCOME (THANKS FOR SPENDING TIME WITH US)1:31 TIME CAPSULE (IOWA CLOSE LOSS / BTS MEDIA TEAM)4:33 MAIN TOPIC (THE SWITCH FROM GRINDING TO LOVING THE PROCESS)14:45 OUTRO (THANKS FOR WATCHING, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN MY FRIEND)VISIT MY WEBSITE TODAY: And book a shoot!!https://www.dsmithproductions.com/ VIEW ALL MY SOCIAL LINKS:https://linktr.ee/The_positivity_godNow do yourself a favor and like, subscribe, dislike, unsubscribe, hate comment, share, or report, I don't care what you do, as long as you are staying positive at the end of the day, that's all that really matters.
