Slow Progress Isn’t a Sign of Failure SL024

I admit to going on a tangent in this one, but the overall message is pretty clear (hopefully): Slow progress isn’t a sign of failure. No shame if you’re moving at the speed of a sloth, y’all. In this episode: * This week’s episode is brought to you by QuickBooks Self Employed. The overnight success probably worked for 10 years in obscurity before getting “found.” Some people write thousands of words a day and some write dozens. Believing you’re not doing enough can stop you in your tracks and make you think, “Why bother?’. Mentally berating yourself for not writing or creating all the time often leads to feelings of guilt, then stress, and then procrastination. Overcoming those feelings takes time and a lot of mental effort: Forgive yourself for any perceived failings Recognize that you don’t have to create the way others create Commit to what you know you can do — 30 minutes a day, every other day, or once a week Small victories can give you the momentum you need to do more.
