The Storm Before the Breakthrough | Ep 123

Look, I'm gonna be real with you...

This year has been straight up BRUTAL. Like, wake-up-and-question-everything brutal.

I'm talking about those mornings when you stare at your bank account and think, "What am I even doing?"

You know what I'm talking about. That gut-punch feeling when you're working harder than you've EVER worked... and your revenue looks like it's going backwards.

Yeah. That's been my 2025.

And here's the thing nobody tells you about entrepreneurship (because they're too busy posting their highlight reels on LinkedIn)...

Sometimes you're gonna feel like you're losing your mind.

Every obstacle you overcome? There's another one RIGHT behind it like some sick joke.

I wrote in my journal: "It feels like we're fighting for every single inch."

Every. Single. Inch.

But here's what I figured out (and why I'm sharing this messy truth with you)...

What if this ISN'T failure?

What if this is exactly what growth looks like when you're about to break through to the next level?

I mean, think about it. Joshua felt completely unqualified to lead Israel. God literally had to tell him "Don't be afraid" THREE TIMES in one chapter.

Why? Because Joshua was scared out of his mind.

Sound familiar?

Here's the raw truth: When you're investing more to make less... when every win feels hard-fought... when you're questioning if you even know what you're doing...

You might be exactly where you need to be.

Not where you WANT to be. Where you NEED to be.

And if you're in that place right now (fighting for every inch, wondering if you've lost your mind, staring at numbers that don't make sense)...

You're not alone.

You're not failing.

You might just be in the storm before the breakthrough.
