#005: Focus on the Unseen - Why the Work Nobody Sees Changes EverythingWhen you’re grinding toward your goals, it’s easy to focus on the results, the outcome, the destination. But here’s the truth: your greatest impact in life will come from the unseen work.This episode breaks down what the unseen actually means (your internal character traits and the behind-the-scenes work), why focusing on the process over results builds discipline and prepares you for your moment, and how to stay consistent with process-oriented goals. Roman gets real about competing with yourself, celebrating small wins, and why you can’t wait for other people to applaud you. The biggest opportunities come from the work nobody sees.In This Episode:

  • Roman’s story: fifth-string linebacker to making plays all over the field
  • What “the unseen” actually means: internal attributes and unnoticed work
  • Why doing work behind the scenes when nobody’s watching builds character
  • How unseen work improves your skill and prepares you for your moment
  • Why external validation matters less when you know the work you’re putting in
  • The danger of not being prepared when your moment finally comes
  • How to set process-oriented goals and forget about the outcome
  • Competing with yourself: you versus you, not you versus everyone else
  • Why you need to reward yourself for staying true to your process
  • Control what you can control when everything else feels hopeless
