BRX Pro Tip: Embrace the Struggles
Stone Payton: [00:00:00] Welcome back to Business RadioX Pro Tips. Stone Payton Lee Kantor here with you today. Lee, here’s a good mantra, embrace the struggle.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:09] Yeah. It’s important to realize that the struggle is just part of the experience. You can’t achieve greatness without any struggle. If you never struggle, then you can’t learn what you can do and what you can achieve. There just aren’t any shortcuts to avoid struggle. It’s just part of the deal. It’s not a bug in the system. It’s a feature of the system.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:34] So when you have a struggle and you’re going through a period where things are very difficult, this isn’t the time to quit or bail. It’s just understanding that, hey, I’m just going through a rough patch here and I’m going to just power through it. I’m going to go over it. I’m going to go through it. I’m going to go around it. But I’m going to keep moving forward. I’m going to keep going. I’m not going to use this as an excuse to quit.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:58] The struggle is part of the experience. That’s a fact. It’s not something that you -there is no experience that is struggle free. That just is a kind of straight line up. That just doesn’t happen. It isn’t realistic.
Lee Kantor: [00:01:14] So, when you know that life has ups and downs, you better be putting things in place to help you get through the times when they’re down. So you have to have a support group around you that you can talk to, that can help you. You have to have mentors that you can lean on that can help tell you how to get through this. But you can’t avoid struggle. It’s just part of the deal. So, have things in place that help you get through it so you can get to a new level.
