Ever felt like everything fell apart right after you made progress?

In this episode, let's explore the reasons why personal growth often triggers temporary chaos. I'm sharing insights from George Leonard’s book "Mastery" and my own journey as an entrepreneur.

Let’s talk about how setbacks can be signs you’re on the right path—and how to get through the mess.

Here are 3 Key Takeaways:

1. Progress Can Look Like Chaos: Growth isn’t always smooth—sometimes making big moves in your career or business can trigger upheaval. When things appear to “fall apart,” it might actually be a sign you’re moving in the right direction and entering a new stage of mastery.

2. The Power of Instruction and Learning Order: Picking the right way to learn—whether it’s self-paced, guided, or individualized—matters. But more important is understanding the order in which you need to learn things. Having a coach or mentor can help you avoid learning things out of sequence and maximize your progress.

3. When to Pivot and Let Go: Losing resources, time, or money hurts, but these moments can serve as powerful signals that it’s time to shift your focus or reinvent your approach. Success means knowing when to double down and when to step back, then strategically move forward.
