NLP690 - Stop Quitting When It Gets Hard – 10 Minutes of Fire


Listen Later

In this short solo episode, Brad delivers 10 minutes of straight fire on one of the biggest roadblocks to success—quitting when things get hard.

He brings it back to one of the core teachings from The Four Agreements, especially the one that’s most misunderstood: “Always do your best.”

But here’s the kicker…

Your best doesn’t mean your best ever.

It means the best you can do today.

And that will look different on a Monday after a full night of sleep versus a Thursday when life is chaos.

Brad challenges you to stop falling into the all-or-nothing trap and start owning what “doing your best” looks like for you—day in, day out.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, inconsistent, or beating yourself up for not being perfect… this episode is your reset button.

 

What You’ll Hear:

    •    Why quitting when it gets hard is the pattern that’s stealing your momentum

    •    The misunderstood truth about “doing your best”

    •    How to stay in the game when motivation is gone

    •    A straight-up reminder of what showing up actually looks like

 

Listen, reflect, and get back in the fight.
