How many times have you tried something that you were convinced would change your life
But every single time you quit?
It's likely because you never learned how to enjoy the process.
Here's 3 steps to enjoying the process so that you never quit again:

It's likely because you never learned how to enjoy the process.
Here's 3 steps to enjoying the process so that you never quit again:
We all have goals, dreams and ambitions.
We all want to achieve them.
And we all want to achieve them faster.
But there’s a problem with trying to get to the end destination sooner

You end up taking short cuts.
Cutting corners.
Never giving the time, energy or sacrifice that both mastery and long-term success demand.
It doesn’t matter what short cut you take or what “trick” you use, when you try to get there faster you inevitably quit.
Why?

It doesn’t matter what short cut you take or what “trick” you use, when you try to get there faster you inevitably quit.
Why?
Because you can’t get there faster.
Some things can’t be rushed - mastery and success are 2 of them.
And since you’re trying to get there faster, you’re showing your lack of:
• Grit
• Discipline
• Character
• Understanding of delayed gratification

Hence when you one day wake up and decide you’ve had enough, that it’s taking too long, you’ll quit.
You’ll jump to the next opportunity and repeat the process.
You’ll never achieve mastery of anything.
Never building something great. Forever giving in to shiny object syndrome

I used to do it all the time.
In the past I've tried to build a copywriting business, FB ads agency, email marketing agency, ecom stores
I tried to rush the process every time.
I failed every time.
The desire to cut corners & take short cuts will always come back to bite you.

Don’t get me wrong, you need to move with speed.
You need to act fast, make decisions fast and waste no time.
A lot of success comes down to speed.
But speed is different from rushing.

You’ve heard people say this before.
It’s become almost cliche.
But you need to enjoy the journey. You must relax into the work, the pressure and the process.
If you do, you’ll not quit.

When you enjoy it, you don’t care how long it takes.
All you care about is producing the highest quality of whatever you’re doing.
Showing to the world your skill, your capabilities and your art.
Providing value above and beyond what is expected.

It’s all well and good being told millions of times to enjoy the process.
But has anybody ever told you how?
Well motherfucker, that’s about to change.
Here’s how to enjoy the process:
But has anybody ever told you how?
Well motherfucker, that’s about to change.
Here’s how to enjoy the process:
1. Condition yourself for delayed gratification
You need to expect to put in the work now but not get results until later.
Most people are naturally good at this but have been conditioned for instant gratification due to modern living.
Do a dopamine detox to fix this.

2. Choose your craft wisely
You won’t be able to enjoy the process if you don’t enjoy what you do
So you need to choose your craft wisely.
To do this:
You won’t be able to enjoy the process if you don’t enjoy what you do
So you need to choose your craft wisely.
To do this:
• Life tap
Journal to create your dream life
• Consciously align your life with your dream life
With every decision you make & action you take (ie. choosing your craft), ask yourself if it aligns with your Utopia, identity and goals.
If it does, do it.
If it doesn’t, don’t.

• Journal about the impact you want to make
What impact do you want to have on the world?
Who do you want to help?
How do you want to help them?
What impact do you want to have on the world?
Who do you want to help?
How do you want to help them?
Once you’ve done these 3 steps, find a craft that you’re interested in and ask yourself if it aligns with your dream life and if it will help you make the impact you want to make
If it does, try that craft.
If it doesn’t, try something else
If it does, try that craft.
If it doesn’t, try something else
3. Expect resistance
It doesn’t matter how much you love what you do, there will be days you don’t want to do it.
This is resistance.
Expect it.
Relate the struggles and challenges of your craft to the results they create and the impact they make, not the pain.
