Success in business rarely happens overnight — but waiting for results can feel overwhelming, discouraging, and even lonely. The truth is, entrepreneurship is a marathon, not a sprint.
In this episode of the Project Purpose Podcast, I sit down with psychologist and business owner Dawn Smith to explore the mental endurance entrepreneurs need to thrive in the “in-between” seasons. We talk about:
- Why instant results are a myth in entrepreneurship
- The psychology of patience and resilience in business
- Practical strategies to stay motivated when results are slow
- How to celebrate small wins and maintain momentum over time
If you’ve ever felt stuck, burnt out, or tempted to quit because success seemed too far away, this conversation will give you the tools and mindset shifts to keep going strong.
