Some seasons don’t reward effort right away.

Justin Rose began his pro golf career at 17—and then missed 21 straight cuts. No paychecks. No weekend rounds. No reassurance. Just long flights home and the pressure to keep showing up.

What kept him going? He treated failure as feedback, reflected without judgment, and focused on small, controllable improvements—long before results arrived.

In this episode, we explore what it really means to persevere when the scoreboard keeps saying not yet. You’ll learn how to turn setbacks into lessons, trust the process over outcomes, and keep showing up even when success feels invisible.

Key takeaways:

• Perseverance is the work, not the reward

• Failure is evidence, not a verdict

• Reflection creates clarity and drives growth

• Focus on process, not outcomes

• Staying in the game matters more than proving yourself

Where in your life can you keep showing up, even without immediate proof it’s working? That’s where real victories happen.
