Episode 149: Delayed Gratification is a GOOD Thing

Do you have patience when it comes to trusting the road ahead? When it comes to creating your path, such as taking the road of entrepreneurship or following your passion, delayed gratification is almost a pre-requisite for being able to “make it.” The amount of work, sacrifice, understanding, grit, and heart that it takes to stick with your path can easily result in burnout or a feeling of “not being enough” when the reward doesn’t come quickly.

So here is a little reminder that in order to truly transform, the attitude of GROWING with the flow is a must. Leading with the reward in mind oftentimes results in frustration and can actually stunt one’s growth because the end goal (in my opinion) should not be on the outcome; it should be on what the return of one’s investment of time and energy is.

That’s where the real magic is. I share more about how delaying my own gratification allowed me to have a career in chocolate that I truly loved, and how this attitude carries in my work ethic and activities I’m involved in, today. There is so much to learn besides “winning the prize.” Have a listen 
