The path to meaningful success isn't paved with shortcuts or overnight miracles. What truly matters is embracing and trusting the entire journey - the ups, downs, victories, and setbacks that shape who we become.
This episode explores a powerful formula for sustainable achievement: Trust the Process = Self-belief + Ambition + Action × Love. When you genuinely believe in your vision, set clear directional goals, take consistent steps forward, and genuinely love what you're doing, you create something that lasts. Without these elements, we risk chasing empty pursuits that may look impressive but leave us unfulfilled.
We dive deep into the struggles that derail even the most determined among us—impatience that leads to burnout, self-doubt that paralyzes progress, and the desperate search for quick results that has us jumping from strategy to strategy. I share personal experiences about learning to appreciate my own growth as a podcaster and becoming "a fan of my own project" rather than constantly comparing myself to others. Through examining Kobe Bryant's legendary Mamba Mentality and his commitment to daily improvement over trophies, we learn that greatness isn't built overnight but through consistent, deliberate practice over time.
Success isn't about rushing to some imaginary finish line. It's about building something real, brick by brick, day by day. If you're working hard but not seeing results yet, this message is especially for you. Stop chasing shortcuts and start trusting your journey. Share this episode with someone who needs that extra push today - your support might just change someone's path entirely.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Why trusting the process is key for long-term
success.
First of all, guys, trustingthe process is more sustainable
than solely focusing on results.
Focusing on results can befrustrating and exhausting over
time, okay.
However, embracing the processallows you to develop
(00:24):
consistency, persistence anddiscipline.
Of course, in the meantime, youcan learn and grow, reduce
stress, build habits, enhancecreativity, cultivate resilience
, celebrate small wins and, ofcourse, maintain a long-term
perspective.
Hi guys, my name is Fabio fromJourney to Success, and welcome.
(00:47):
Today we will explore howbelieving the process can lead
to long-term success andfulfillment.
We're going to also identifythe struggles people face when
pursuing their goals, such asimpatience, self-doubt, you know
, and the desire for immediateresults.
(01:10):
But before we move forward, asalways, please subscribe.
So I know this is the rightdirection to guide you, to lead
you, to drive you towards yourjourney to success.
And let's get started, asalways, all right.
So consider this formula Trustthe process is equal on
(01:34):
self-belief plus ambition, plusaction in the right direction.
And multiply this for loveSelf-belief.
What is self-belief?
When you truly believe insomething, you don't always
question how you are going toachieve it.
Okay, sure, you may have doubtsat the beginning.
(01:55):
All right, it's normal, butover time, you will prepare
yourself and take action.
For example, guys, if you're afather or a mother, you do what
needs to be done, okay.
So if you have to wake up earlyfor work, you simply do it.
The issue arises when you thinkyou have a choice, for example,
(02:24):
when building your career oryour personal dream.
You might believe that thereare multiple options if things
go wrong, okay, like looking fora new job.
So having a plan B alongsideplan A can indicate that you
don't fully believe in whatyou're building.
On the contrary, it isessential to have a safety net
(02:50):
at the beginning of your journey.
For example, in my case just mypersonal example I work on my
podcast, right, but I know Icannot solely count on it for
financial stability.
So I also need a job to covermy house and bills, A job that
doesn't dry my energy Okay,that's very important.
(03:13):
So it's crucial to have a jobthat supports you physically and
mentally Okay, something thatdoesn't drain you.
Then we have the ambition.
So who do you want to become?
You have to make this question.
(03:33):
So it is important to set small, achievable goals.
Taking consistent baby steps canlead you towards your dreams.
Guys, consider who you aspireto be.
You know, maybe the next LadyGaga or Elon Musk.
You need to be ambitious.
I don't believe in solo dreams.
(03:54):
A dream becomes real the momentyou are committed to shaping it
into reality.
Right, but you need to beambitious as well and realistic
in your plan.
That's the focus of the journeyto success.
So don't be scared.
Tell yourself who you want tobecome and then make a plan.
(04:16):
Okay, action in the rightdirection.
This is something people oftenunderestimate, and I completely
understand why.
I knew how to be consistent,how to build habits if I talk
about myself, and especially howto have a plan.
I knew I know how to have aplan.
(04:37):
However, if your plan lacks theright direction that that was
mostly my problem you could endup somewhere.
You don't want to be Full ofstress.
You know doubts.
It's like planning a trip toItaly while driving towards
Spain.
You know it's like wanting tobecome a singer but settling for
(05:02):
an easy opportunity to be anactor, even if that's not your
true calling.
You know it's also likeplanning to become a doctor but
feeling obligated to run thefamily business.
It just doesn't make sense.
It simply doesn't make sense.
Okay, and it's funny becausethis seems like a clear, obvious
(05:22):
concept, right?
But yet we all struggle with it.
So if you plan to becomesomeone but end up doing
something else, it can drainyour energy and leave you
feeling overwhelmed.
Okay, don't forget that.
So, once you find the rightdirection, remember what you
(05:45):
love, okay, and why you choosethis path.
I choose this path because Iwant to help people achieve
their success.
In my adolescence, guys, I felttrapped and I want you to
understand that just becauseyour family, partner or anyone
else has an opinion about you,it doesn't mean they're right.
(06:05):
They're expressing their ownbeliefs, you know.
But that doesn't mean they'reright.
Okay, you have within you thecapacity to achieve everything
you want, everything.
Whether you are from a smallvillage or a big city, it
(06:26):
doesn't matter.
Be ambitious, okay, even ifothers don't believe in you.
Remember, if they dived you,it's not because they think you
can't do it.
It's often because they wonderwhy you could succeed when they
didn't.
It's about them, not you.
(06:49):
It's about their weakness, it'snot about your courage.
Also, there is a lot of envy inthe world.
Feeling envy is normal.
A is a normal human emotion,but when it leads to pity and
nastiness, it crosses a line youknow.
I remember an episode from um,the russell bronson show.
(07:12):
You know the the, the creatorof ClickFunnels where he had a
guest.
I don't remember who was theguest, but he had a guest who
shared something interesting Atthe start of his journey.
Of this guest, the peoplearound him shared it for a
success, but once he achieved it, he felt a change from these
(07:37):
people.
They were saying to him thingslike now that you're successful,
you don't talk to us anymore.
Yeah, so he realized somethingimportant People want you to do
well, but not better than them.
So keep this in mind.
Okay, it will be fundamentalfor your journey.
Of course, not all the peopleare like that, but keep it in
(08:00):
mind.
So I will say, yeah, believe inyourself.
Believe in yourself, especiallybecause, see, if you don't, no
one else can, and if you can't,it means you don't believe so
much in your dream.
I know it's hard to believethis, I know that, but that's
(08:21):
the truth.
All right, now you can say,okay, fabio, all right,
beautiful words, but how can Iidentify my strong goals when
trying to reach my goals?
Let's be honest here Believingin the process is not enough.
It's easy to hear gurus onsocial media with their quick
(08:45):
reels telling us to trust theprocess or believe in yourself.
If they were that easy,everyone would achieve
everything they wanted in life.
The reality is that we all facedifferent challenges, as the
same people you see on yourfavorite social media platform.
But what are these challenges?
At least, what are the commonones?
(09:07):
So we mentioned impatience.
So if you don't cook yourtomato sauce properly, you won't
have a great sauce right.
If you raise the temperaturefor a cake, you will burn it.
If you move your furniture tooquickly, you could damage
something in your house.
If you try to build your closetwithout the IKEA guide, you'll
(09:31):
only slow yourself down.
So I could provide so manyexamples about it.
Talking about the Dig, thedigital world, the one you know
we're consistently connect rightnow, part of the blame, in my
opinion, lies with social mediaas well, which teach us that
with a viral reel, anyone canbecome the next kaby lame.
You know, but that's just thesame as winning the lottery, in
(09:56):
my opinion At least.
In the lottery, you can getsome fake satisfaction when you
earn the same amount after youspend seven times more here.
It's just worse.
It is a marriage, if you havechosen to look at this podcast,
guys.
It means you are looking forsomething different, something
authentic, real and concrete,and even if it's painful to hear
(10:21):
some truth, at least you get it.
You get the truth here, allright.
Anyway, honestly, I want to behonest.
Patience is key, that's all.
Don't rush.
Don't make the same mistakes Idid.
(10:43):
When you are impatient, we tendto rush things.
If you rush, you will quicklybecome stressed and when that
happens, you lose the energy tocontinue on your journey and at
the end of the story, you willfind just yourself stuck.
Okay, remember, there is noneed to rush your journey, but
(11:03):
you do need to be moreconsistent to move forward,
that's for sure.
It is a marathon, not a sprint,something I sometimes forget as
well.
Honestly, make a clear plan, aclear path, and build habits
around you around it.
(11:24):
For example, wake up at thesame time each day, or set aside
one day a week to focus on yourgoals.
That would be a good plan.
Understand the direction youwant to take and you know, like
the church bell you might havehere in your town, be ready,
have a cup of tea, coffee andtake the first step.
(11:46):
Work, work for yourself, foryour dream.
Then we have self-doubt.
Then we have self-doubt.
How can you expect people tobuy from you if you don't
believe in your product or inyourself?
(12:06):
In my opinion, there are twodifferent types of self-doubt
guys useless self-doubt anduseful self-doubt.
Let's talk about the uselessself-doubt.
Let's talk about the uselessself-doubt, all right.
Useless self-doubt, it is whenyou believe that there will
(12:26):
always be someone better thanyou.
You may think that whatever youdo is never enough, because
there is always someone better.
Right, useless self-doubt guysmanifesting the belief that luck
is essential for success andthat you are simply not like
(12:48):
enough.
It is also involves avoidingresponsibility by blaming others
or thinking that your cons canprevent you from succeeding.
Okay, then we have a usefulself-doubt.
I'm sure you didn't hear thisfrom the one, because I came up
on my own.
(13:09):
Well, in contrast, in thecontrary right, useful
self-doubt is implanted in apositive mindset.
So, while you can acknowledgethe existence of better
competitors, you focus onfinding solutions.
So you rely on luck in a waythat your persistence can create
(13:31):
opportunities.
So, if things don't go asplanned and no chances arise
during your path, you just keepmoving forward without stopping
during your path.
You just keep moving forwardwithout stopping.
In my opinion, usefulself-doubt involves taking
responsibility for your actions,shortly reflecting on mistakes
(13:55):
to find solution and acceptingyour imperfections while seeking
improvement via the right tools.
For example, in my ownexperience, when I listened to
my podcast and you know I didn'tlike how I sounded, whether it
was my grammar, the way Iexpress concepts or my overall
(14:17):
delivery right I initially feltdiscouraged, in a way that I
knew that bigger podcasterswould be always better than me.
All right, um, in fact, therewere different attempts before
to succeed.
Before to have a journey tosuccess, I opened a different uh
(14:40):
podcast twoua, I think beforethis one.
However, instead ofsurrendering to useless
self-doubt, I asked myself okay,so how can I improve this?
So what tools or techniques canI use to become better?
So once I embraced this mindsetand started to appreciate my
(15:03):
podcast, I became my own targetaudience.
I recognized my growth.
I became my own fan of mypodcast.
At that point I knew I was onthe right track.
Okay, that's what you have tobe.
You have to become the fan ofyour project.
Desire for quick results andimpatience.
Desire for quick results andimpatience.
Desire for quick results andimpatience.
(15:26):
Guys look the same, but they'renot.
Impatience is about frustration, right?
Frustration with the timeline.
So you want you know theresults now, even if you are not
fully ready.
It often leads to giving up toosoon or making rushed decisions
.
Example let's say you want tobecome a podcaster, so you
(15:48):
launch a few episodes, don't seehuge numbers and start doubting
the whole thing or jump to acompletely different project.
The desire for quick results isabout efficiency and
optimization.
You still respect the process,of course, but you are motivated
(16:08):
to find faster ways to achieveyour goals.
So it's driven by ambition, notfrustration.
However, that can become also aproblem if you don't manage.
Well, I'm going to explain withanother example.
Right, you want to grow yourpodcast fast, so you study
(16:29):
marketing strategies, optimizeyour content and run targeted
ads.
Right, but targeted ads don'twork.
So then you try to promote onFacebook group organically,
because you spent already toomuch money, but spamming on
Facebook groups brought you somefrustration.
Then you ended up on Instagramthinking that your chance to
(16:49):
become viral is higher thanwhatever you did before.
So you are actively, you know,working smart in the beginning,
but later on you lose thecompass, and that's, guys, is a
problem, right?
So what are the quick keydifferences here?
(17:10):
Impatience is equal on focus ontimeline plus fast decisions.
Maker, but can lead tofrustration and impulsivity
maker, but can lead tofrustration and impulsivity.
The desire for quick results,instead, is equal on focus on
(17:33):
reaching your success plus aquick and strategic plan, but
you can lose your compass.
So you need to practicepatience.
Instead of rushing things andseeking quick but results, you
have to be focused on long-termgoals.
I know that sounds tiring,maybe boring, but that's the
(17:59):
truth.
Consider Kobe Bryant, right, hisMamba mentality.
It was known for his deepbelief in the process, guys.
So Kobe didn't just chasetrophies, he obsessed over daily
(18:20):
improvement.
You know he showed up topractice hours before everyone
else and studied every detail ofthe game.
He didn't skip his trainingeven when he was already a
celebrity, and one of his famoussaying was rest at the end, not
in the middle.
Now many people misunderstandthis quote.
They think Kobe was a fastlearner, dedicating tons of
(18:42):
hours per day for a week.
That's not the case, of course.
Yes, maybe it could be someexceptions, right, but it wasn't
his style, in my opinion.
What I noticed in his study?
In his study, let's say that hehad a plan to improve his jump.
(19:05):
I'm sure he wanted tounderstand every trick and
movement needed to enhance hisperformance.
I'm sure he would havededicated a consistent amount of
time daily, maybe 30 minutes ortwo hours, four hours daily, I
don't know, but for sure the setamount would have been split
along the days to achieve hisgoals over several months.
(19:28):
So the key point here is thathe was a consistent human being.
He never rushed.
The moment you rush is themoment you risk burning yourself
out.
Okay, kobe truly understood thepower of long-term thinking and
trusting the process, even whenimmediate results didn't appear
(19:52):
.
Now let's break it down somepoints.
See, when you only focus on theoutcome guys maybe followers,
money or recognition it's easyto feel frustrated and lost.
But when you fall in love, youfall in love with the process.
(20:12):
You build consistency, habits,creativity, resilience, all the
stuff that actually leads toachieving success.
Now, what did I talk abouttoday?
First, how self-belief is thefoundation.
So if you don't believe in whatyou're doing, why would anyone
(20:34):
else?
Number two, how ambition givesthe direction of your dreams.
Who do you want to become guys?
And three, third, why takingaction in the right direction
matters more than just beingbusy.
I even share this formula withyou.
(20:54):
So trust the process equalsself-belief, plus ambition, plus
aligned action.
And multiply for love, because,yes, love for what you're doing
is non-negotiable.
And I also dive deep into threebig struggles we all face.
So we have impatience.
Rushing, you know, the journeyonly drains your energy.
(21:18):
Self-doubt, so there is auseless kind that holds you back
and a useful kind that helpsyou grow.
And the desire for quickresults, which looks smart at
first but if you're not careful,can completely put you off
track.
And lastly, I talk aboutco-briod, right?
(21:40):
So how you trust the process,show up daily and didn't rush.
Greatness, his quote, rest atthe end, not in the middle.
So here is the point If you'retired of feeling lost, if you
are working hard but not seeingresults yet, it means it's time
(22:00):
to stop chasing shortcuts andstart building something real,
brick by brick, guys, day by day.
Now I want to hear from you whatis your biggest takeaway from
today's episode?
How will you apply this to yourown journey?
Guys, if this episode inspireyou don't keep it to yourself,
okay, share it with someone whoneeds that extra push today.
(22:24):
Your support, guys, doesn'tjust help me, as you know it
might change someone else's pathtoo, and that's for me it's
more important.
So keep pushing forward, takeaction and, of course, trust the
process.
Thanks for being part of thejourney to success.
Clap and see you in the nextepisode, guys.
(22:46):
Cheers.
Why trusting the process is key for long-term
success.
First of all, guys, trustingthe process is more sustainable
than solely focusing on results.
Focusing on results can befrustrating and exhausting over

However, embracing the processallows you to develop

have a cup of tea, coffee andtake the first step.
(11:46):
Work, work for yourself, foryour dream.
Then we have self-doubt.
Then we have self-doubt.
How can you expect people tobuy from you if you don't
believe in your product or inyourself?
(12:06):
In my opinion, there are twodifferent types of self-doubt
guys useless self-doubt anduseful self-doubt.
Let's talk about the uselessself-doubt.
Let's talk about the uselessself-doubt, all right.
Useless self-doubt, it is whenyou believe that there will
(12:26):
always be someone better thanyou.
You may think that whatever youdo is never enough, because
there is always someone better.
Right, useless self-doubt guysmanifesting the belief that luck
is essential for success andthat you are simply not like
(12:48):
enough.
It is also involves avoidingresponsibility by blaming others
or thinking that your cons canprevent you from succeeding.
Okay, then we have a usefulself-doubt.
I'm sure you didn't hear thisfrom the one, because I came up
on my own.
(13:09):
Well, in contrast, in thecontrary right, useful
self-doubt is implanted in apositive mindset.
So, while you can acknowledgethe existence of better
competitors, you focus onfinding solutions.
So you rely on luck in a waythat your persistence can create
(13:31):
opportunities.
So, if things don't go asplanned and no chances arise
during your path, you just keepmoving forward without stopping
during your path.
You just keep moving forwardwithout stopping.
In my opinion, usefulself-doubt involves taking
responsibility for your actions,shortly reflecting on mistakes
(13:55):
to find solution and acceptingyour imperfections while seeking
improvement via the right tools.
For example, in my ownexperience, when I listened to
my podcast and you know I didn'tlike how I sounded, whether it
was my grammar, the way Iexpress concepts or my overall
(14:17):
delivery right I initially feltdiscouraged, in a way that I
knew that bigger podcasterswould be always better than me.
All right, um, in fact, therewere different attempts before
to succeed.
Before to have a journey tosuccess, I opened a different uh
(14:40):
podcast twoua, I think beforethis one.
However, instead ofsurrendering to useless
self-doubt, I asked myself okay,so how can I improve this?
So what tools or techniques canI use to become better?
So once I embraced this mindsetand started to appreciate my
(15:03):
podcast, I became my own targetaudience.
I recognized my growth.
I became my own fan of mypodcast.
At that point I knew I was onthe right track.
Okay, that's what you have tobe.
You have to become the fan ofyour project.
Desire for quick results andimpatience.
Desire for quick results andimpatience.
Desire for quick results andimpatience.
(15:26):
Guys look the same, but they'renot.
Impatience is about frustration, right?
Frustration with the timeline.
So you want you know theresults now, even if you are not
fully ready.
It often leads to giving up toosoon or making rushed decisions
.
Example let's say you want tobecome a podcaster, so you
(15:48):
launch a few episodes, don't seehuge numbers and start doubting
the whole thing or jump to acompletely different project.
The desire for quick results isabout efficiency and
optimization.
You still respect the process,of course, but you are motivated
(16:08):
to find faster ways to achieveyour goals.
So it's driven by ambition, notfrustration.
However, that can become also aproblem if you don't manage.
Well, I'm going to explain withanother example.
Right, you want to grow yourpodcast fast, so you study
(16:29):
marketing strategies, optimizeyour content and run targeted
ads.
Right, but targeted ads don'twork.
So then you try to promote onFacebook group organically,
because you spent already toomuch money, but spamming on
Facebook groups brought you somefrustration.
Then you ended up on Instagramthinking that your chance to
(16:49):
become viral is higher thanwhatever you did before.
So you are actively, you know,working smart in the beginning,
but later on you lose thecompass, and that's, guys, is a
problem, right?
So what are the quick keydifferences here?
(17:10):
Impatience is equal on focus ontimeline plus fast decisions.
Maker, but can lead tofrustration and impulsivity
maker, but can lead tofrustration and impulsivity.
The desire for quick results,instead, is equal on focus on
(17:33):
reaching your success plus aquick and strategic plan, but
you can lose your compass.
So you need to practicepatience.
Instead of rushing things andseeking quick but results, you
have to be focused on long-termgoals.
I know that sounds tiring,maybe boring, but that's the
(17:59):
truth.
Consider Kobe Bryant, right, hisMamba mentality.
It was known for his deepbelief in the process, guys.
So Kobe didn't just chasetrophies, he obsessed over daily
(18:20):
improvement.
You know he showed up topractice hours before everyone
else and studied every detail ofthe game.
He didn't skip his trainingeven when he was already a
celebrity, and one of his famoussaying was rest at the end, not
in the middle.
Now many people misunderstandthis quote.
They think Kobe was a fastlearner, dedicating tons of
(18:42):
hours per day for a week.
That's not the case, of course.
Yes, maybe it could be someexceptions, right, but it wasn't
his style, in my opinion.
What I noticed in his study?
In his study, let's say that hehad a plan to improve his jump.
(19:05):
I'm sure he wanted tounderstand every trick and
movement needed to enhance hisperformance.
I'm sure he would havededicated a consistent amount of
time daily, maybe 30 minutes ortwo hours, four hours daily, I
don't know, but for sure the setamount would have been split
along the days to achieve hisgoals over several months.
(19:28):
So the key point here is thathe was a consistent human being.
He never rushed.
The moment you rush is themoment you risk burning yourself
out.
Okay, kobe truly understood thepower of long-term thinking and
trusting the process, even whenimmediate results didn't appear
(19:52):
.
Now let's break it down somepoints.
See, when you only focus on theoutcome guys maybe followers,
money or recognition it's easyto feel frustrated and lost.
But when you fall in love, youfall in love with the process.
(20:12):
You build consistency, habits,creativity, resilience, all the
stuff that actually leads toachieving success.
Now, what did I talk abouttoday?
First, how self-belief is thefoundation.
So if you don't believe in whatyou're doing, why would anyone
(20:34):
else?
Number two, how ambition givesthe direction of your dreams.
Who do you want to become guys?
And three, third, why takingaction in the right direction
matters more than just beingbusy.
I even share this formula withyou.
(20:54):
So trust the process equalsself-belief, plus ambition, plus
aligned action.
And multiply for love, because,yes, love for what you're doing
is non-negotiable.
And I also dive deep into threebig struggles we all face.
So we have impatience.
Rushing, you know, the journeyonly drains your energy.
(21:18):
Self-doubt, so there is auseless kind that holds you back
and a useful kind that helpsyou grow.
And the desire for quickresults, which looks smart at
first but if you're not careful,can completely put you off
track.
And lastly, I talk aboutco-briod, right?
(21:40):
So how you trust the process,show up daily and didn't rush.
Greatness, his quote, rest atthe end, not in the middle.
So here is the point If you'retired of feeling lost, if you
are working hard but not seeingresults yet, it means it's time
(22:00):
to stop chasing shortcuts andstart building something real,
brick by brick, guys, day by day.
Now I want to hear from you whatis your biggest takeaway from
today's episode?
How will you apply this to yourown journey?
Guys, if this episode inspireyou don't keep it to yourself,
okay, share it with someone whoneeds that extra push today.
(22:24):
Your support, guys, doesn'tjust help me, as you know it
might change someone else's pathtoo, and that's for me it's
more important.
So keep pushing forward, takeaction and, of course, trust the
process.
Thanks for being part of thejourney to success.
Clap and see you in the nextepisode, guys.
(22:46):
Cheers.
