Change is Hard
The latest episode of The Everyday Millionaire Podcast is now online!
“Why the conversation about mindset and why is it important? It’s not just about success, it’s not about getting shit done, it’s not about being uber successful in business or in life. It’s really how we approach business, how we approach life. It’s actually all about us and how we view the world.”
– Patrick Francey
Mindset Matters: Change is Hard
In this week’s episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany explore the challenges of change and why it often feels difficult.
Reflecting on their recent “Think Tank” weekend, they share the enriching experience of hosting diverse individuals and couples at their home. The serene setting, complete with outdoor walks and interactions with animals, provided a perfect environment for meaningful discussions.
Patrick emphasizes that change requires significant effort and isn’t as simple as flipping a switch. There’s a painful transition period full of discomfort and uncertainty, which can lead to frustration and a lack of fulfillment. Steffany prefers intentional change, viewing it as a growth opportunity rather than a reaction to external circumstances. Her mantra, “here we grow again,” reflects her positive outlook on embracing change for personal development.
They also discuss the importance of being coachable and the concept of “Clarity Equals Velocity.” Gaining clarity in one’s goals often necessitates change, as staying in a comfort zone becomes untenable with a new vision. Social dynamics play a crucial role in change. When one person starts to change, it can create discomfort and resistance in others, not due to unwillingness to grow, but fear of impact on their own lives.
Ending with some practical advice: have a supportive network and embrace discomfort as part of the growth process. Patrick and Steffany remind listeners that change is not a solitary journey but one enriched by support and encouragement from others. Listen in, enjoy!
