Ep# 162: [Pep Talk] Your Success is Inconvenient

Elizabeth Hartke

I want to talk about something that is plaguing us right now; hopefully this doesn’t offend you (and if it does, you should listen to my previous pep talk on taking offense…)

Today’s pep talk is about the idea of choosing to be inconvenienced.

I’ve been an entrepreneur for 10 years. I’ve gotten to hear a lot of people’s hopes and dreams for their business and life, but I’ve also gotten to sit back and watch as they realize what’s going to be required of them to get there and they choose to stop trying.

So many people are unwilling to be inconvenienced in life, even if that inconvenience is what will ultimately get them to their biggest life.

So if you DON’T want to live an average life and you DON’T want to be forgotten, you need to embrace inconvenience. The path is difficult and challenging, and you will look at what’s ahead many times and think I don’t want to do that, not because you’re morally against it, but because it might be super inconvenient. Do it anyway.

It’s time to start prioritizing the things you say you want, and understanding that it won’t be convenient to get there.
