We live in a world that rewards instant gratification, but the people who achieve extraordinary results think differently. Short-term thinking vs. long-term thinking is the difference between those who "try" to be "consistent" and those who are truly committed to making a goal happen.  In this episode, we’re breaking down the difference between short-term and long-term thinking — and why mastering the balance between the two is the secret to consistency, bold action, and creating the life you’ve always wanted. You’ll learn exactly how to spot when you’re sabotaging your future for comfort now, plus the mindset shifts and tools that will help you start making decisions your future self will thank you for.   🏛️ GET MENTORED & COACHED BY TRISH in the COLLEGE OF CONFIDENCE  (Risk-Free, Cancel-at-Anytime, Money-Back Guarantee!) www.collegeofconfidence.com 🔥 GET 24 MINI COURSES for $24!!!

Ever had one of those weeks where everything that could go wrong… does? That was me — in Australia — with my family, halfway through a dream trip… when my laptop broke the night before a major launch. Our flight got delayed. Our luggage went missing. And the old version of me? She would’ve unraveled. But this time, something clicked. I realized: this was the growth. Not the inspiring moment on a mountaintop. Not the perfectly planned itinerary. The growth was in the inconvenience. In today’s episode, I’m sharing what I’ve learned in the mess — and why your ability to keep a good attitude when things are inconvenient might be one of the most underrated superpowers you can build. If you’re tired, stretched, or feel like life keeps throwing curveballs, I think this episode is exactly what you didn’t know you needed.   🏛️ GET MENTORED & COACHED BY TRISH in the COLLEGE OF CONFIDENCE  (Risk-Free, Cancel-at-Anytime, Money-Back Guarantee!) www.collegeofconfidence.com 🔥 GET 24 MINI COURSES for $24!!!
