E31 - The Power of Persistence (and What to Do if You Feel Like Giving Up)

Persistence doesn’t always come naturally - in fact, I’ll admit, giving up has often felt easier to me. But some of the most meaningful moments in my life and business have come from choosing to keep going, even when it was uncomfortable, messy, or far from perfect.

In this episode, I share my own journey with persistence: from working on cars that felt beyond repair, to launching The Solo Coach Podcast, to stepping onto the stage at Toastmasters for the first time.

Along the way, I talk about:

• Why persistence is like a muscle you can train
• The small, incremental “marginal gains” that compound over time (shout-out to Dave Brailsford)
• My public speaking journey and what it’s teaching me about personal growth
• Five powerful questions to ask yourself when you’re on the verge of giving up

Whether you’re feeling stuck, tired, or ready to throw in the towel, this episode will remind you that the rewards of persistence often outweigh the pain of the present moment and that sometimes, all you need is a pause, a perspective shift, or the right support.
