The Internet has a funny way of making us believe that goals can be reached without putting in the hard work it takes to accomplish them. Well...maybe you need to hear this and maybe you don't, but I'm using this platform to say...that's complete bullsh*t!

There is no better feeling of accomplishment than achieving a goal you know you had to work like hell to conquer. Just having it handed to you will not help you grow, will not help you learn, and will not help you get better. This applies to podcasting as much as it does life as a whole. In order to get the best results, you have to be willing to put in the work required of you AND take the lumps that may occur along the way.

On Episode 85 of Pod Theory, I go on a bit of a rant about expecting results without the work. About showing up for the whole game instead of just the highlights. About being patient in your quest to build a great podcast and not expecting results to be handed to you without effort. It may just be the message you need to hear today.
